Get Your Act Together, Greeks

What’s up everyone?! 

We hope you guys are ready for some killer advice, this week. Our guest advice giver is the very wise Emily Nightingale, from Pi Beta Phi. Thanks for all the questions and don’t forget to keep em’ coming! Send your questions to scott201@purdue.edu or (317) 979-1026. 

Dear Claire and Abby,

Recently my mother has been sending me care packages with all kinds of cookies and treats, and when I visit home she insists on giving me second and third helping at meals. Is she trying to make me fat or am I just overthinking this?         

Sincerely, 

Snug In The Bum    

Dear Snug In The Bum,               

One reason she might be doing this is because she wants you to get fatter so that she looks better when she’s around you. Another option is that she thinks you’re pretty boring and wants you to get fatter so you will be funnier. Everyone knows fat people are funny, and funny people are fat.              

Sincerely, 

Claire and Abby     

Dear Claire and Abby,               

I’ve been hooking up with the same guy since school started but that’s all. Should I pursue it as a real relationship? Or leave it the way it is?

Sincerely, 

Not A Girlfriend 


Dear Not A Girlfriend,               

I'd say if he has some sweet lips, don't rock the boat. He obviously likes you enough to keep you around and boyfriends are annoying, anyways. Trust me.

Sincerely, 

Emily    


Dear Claire and Abby,               

The other day I was driving back to school from my boyfriend’s house in Indianapolis, when my car broke down about a mile from his house. I was still close enough to his house that I just walked back to get his help. When I got there, I walked in on him and his ex-girlfriend hooking up. What do I do??

Sincerely,

Cheated Chump     

Dear Cheated Chump,               

I would take your car to the nearest mechanic because several different things can cause a car stalling. It could be debris in the main fuel line. Also, have the mechanic check the vacuum pipes on the intake manifold. Good luck with your car! We hope this helps.               

Sincerely, 

Claire and Abby

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
