An Open Letter To The Greek Community At Cyprus-Rhodes University

It’s time that we pay tribute to the show that made all of us want to join Greek life.

Growing up, we knew all about Cyprus-Rhodes University, the PR nightmare of Jen K’s article and the never-ending love triangle of Casey, Evan, and Cappie. We dreamt of living in the Zeta Beta Zeta house and attending the legendary Kappa Tau Mt. Vesuvius party. However, once we came to college, we realized that Greek life is nothing like "Greek," thank goodness.

To the Greek Community at Cyprus-Rhodes University,

Casey and Cappie, you two were my favorite, the modern day Romeo and Juliet. On one hand, you have Casey leading the army of cool, collected, and beautiful women. On the other, you have Cappie floating through college on a sea of beer and horrid pick-up lines. The two were a horrible freshman mistake, yet they taught us so much.

They taught us that sometimes things are better left in the past. Casey moved on from Cappie just like we should all move on from the past season top that we love so much.

Move on to what? What was that? Did I hear Evan Chambers? That’s right, you did. Evan and Cassie’s relationship taught us to shoot for the stars and that sometimes you’ll end up passed out on a couch with Frannie Morgan giving you a pep talk, but other times you find yourself in love with your best friend.

How could we forget Rusty and his sweet, naive soul? Rusty showed us the sensitive and understanding side of life. Rusty showed us that with a little love, geeky smiles, and engineering skills anything is possible--even almost convincing you parents that you joined a “service fraternity” and not a social fraternity.

We could also never forget Calvin. We never stopped wanting to be Calvin and Rusty’s best friends. They were the perfect pair, a modern day Serena and Blair. They were bonded souls from different houses, a Nicolas Sparks book in the works.

We never stopped hating Rebecca. She's the Senator's daughter? Could we get any more cliché? Rebecca was bad from the start and we all saw through her nice girl act. I mean, who makes someone move out of their own room? We could not be happier to see her get along with Casey in the end, but we did miss the witty banter between the two.

We certainly never stopped loving Dale.

Here's to the many hours that we spent imagining how things would be if we went to Cyprus-Rhodes University and to "Greek" for inspiring us to join our own home away from home. Although there are few similarities between their "Greek" and ours, I will always be forever grateful.

XO,

A true "Greek" Fan.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
