Give Frat Boys A Chance Because They're Not All Bad

Yes, I'm talking about you, Delta Upsilon.

I'm sure I don't have to explain how terrible frats can be. There can be the guy who won't leave you alone or drugs your drink. But we have to think about this logically. NOT ALL FRATS ARE BAD. It shouldn't be a surprise that people have the potential to be terrible and frat culture has a tendency to bring this terrible side out in young men.

When I came to college, I thought this stereotype was 100% true. I was super skeptical when my best friend at the time invited me to a frat party. She claimed these boys were different and I just couldn't believe it. However, I went and met some wonderful people. It's about two years later, and you can still catch me going to their frat events on the regular.

Yes, I'm talking about you, Delta Upsilon. I have some really great friends within your frat and I'm so glad you guys don't live up to the nasty stereotype of frat boys. These frat boys are caring individuals and some of them have helped me through some really hard times.

Of course, I've still had times at their events where boys can get a little too touchy, but these frat boys don't let that sh*t fly. I feel super comfortable being around these boys, and I try to attend all the events I can. I've met some wonderful people through this frat and I've even had classes with some.

Maybe it's rare to find a frat where girls feel relatively safe, but then I've majorly lucked out. I guess I'm asking to look behind the stereotype and try to actually get to know a frat boy. They just might surprise you.

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.
