Being A Gamma Rho Chi Was Amazing And Here's Why
Katie Kramer

So guess what I’m back to talk about how great Greek Life is. Surprise, surprise. This time is a little different though because I’m gonna tell y’all about how being a Gamma Rho Chi made me fall in love with Greek Life even more.

What is a Gamma Rho Chi?

Well a Gamma Rho Chi is a member of a sorority on your campus that chooses to disassociate from her chapter to help potential new members (PNM) through the recruitment process and in the end find their home on campus. This means that they completely take themselves out of their sorority for about a month so that they can be an unbiased opinion for the potential new members. This is the closet way any active member of a sorority can get to experience recruitment through a PNM’s perspective. Which is really interesting to say the least

Eastern Michigan just had their Fall Structured Recruitment about a week ago and I was chosen to be one of our Gamma Rho Chis. It was truly one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. I got to help a group of roughly 20 find their forever homes on campus and even though is was tough at times, I still loved it.

I got to become closer with someone in our Greek Community that if it weren’t for this opportunity I probably would’ve probably never met her. She helped me get through some of the tough times that the weekend presented. And she was definitely a person I could lean on throughout the whole weekend.

Whether they know it or not they reminded me how exciting it was to be apart of this community. I loved seeing their bright eyes and bright smiles after they got out of rounds. I know at times that it was stressful for them. but when bid day came it seemed like all that sworry and stress melted away and seeing how happy and excited they were when they received a bid from their chapter made me even more excited for them.

Throughout my whole time being disassociated it made me fall in love with the Greek Community here at Eastern Michigan even more than I already did. I honestly didn’t think that was possible but I guess it is. It made me realize that we are a family that is there for each other through everything. This hits home for me because I found a support system not only in my chapter but I was able to find people outside my chapter that I could lean on and it proved to me that our Greek Life is truly one big family

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.
