The Excitement Of Winning Greek Week
Amber Ingolia

As many of you may or may not know, Greek Week is a lot of hard work, practice and dedication. For my school's Greek Week, it was a lot of trial and tribulation. Greek Week then turned into Greek month, due to major weather conditions and flooding in Louisiana. Finally, it was back on track. Greek Week is an amazing time of the year, not just for Greeks but for the whole student body. The students who aren't a part of Greek life get a taste of what we do on campus.

Southeastern Louisiana University held Greek month instead and a phenomenal month it was. Theta Phi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Order, and Delta Sigma Theta took home the Greek Week overall award, first place in sheet sign, first place in tug-o-war, first place in step show, and third place in the pie eating contest. As a collegian member of Theta Phi Alpha, I couldn't be anymore happier than I am right now. Not only were we knee deep in awards, but Greek Week has bought us closer than anyone could imagine. When each sorority is paired with their partners, they are selected randomly from The Interfraternity Council, The National Pan-Hellenic Council and, of course, Collegiate Panhellenic Council.

Our partners, Pi Kappa Alpha (IFC), Kappa Alpha Order (IFC) and Delta Sigma Theta(NPHC) also worked their behinds off! If it wasn't for them, then we wouldn't have achieved what we did! Each chapter held their own and helped when needed.

This was my first ever Greek Week and I absolutely loved it! I cannot wait for the following years to come!

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.

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.

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.
