If Greek Gods Ran Your Fraternity

Apollo, God of Music, Medicine and the Sun: Recruitment Chair

The face of the chapter, Apollo is nothing short of perfection. Even though Apollo is pre-med, he makes an effort to always keep up with his music. Women and "Hunger Games" enthusiasts alike flock to him for his knowledge of horses and his mastery of archery.

Ares, God of War: Intramural Chair

The God of War is the most competitive person in the fraternity. He plays in every intramural and always knows the right play to make, no matter the sport. Due to his aggressive nature, he has to be careful not to be thrown out of the game, whether he is blatantly trying to foul out or if his trash talking to his opponent or the refs is taken too far.

Hermes, Messenger of the Gods: Secretary

He is fast! He gets information out to everyone faster than he receives it. By far the quickest guy in the intramural league, he puts almost as many points on the board as Ares. He is a good guy to be around, except for the occasional well-thought out prank.

Poseidon, God of the Sea: Vice President

The former captain of his high school swim team, this Anders Holmvick type is Zeus' second in command. Always yearning to go to some body of water, you can always catch him sporting his Chacos and a bro tank. Every Halloween, he makes sure to dress as Brick from "Anchorman" just so he can throw his trusty trident at the unsuspecting pumpkins.

Dionysus, God of Wine and Patron of the Arts: Events Chair

He plans all of your social events, though for the life of him, he can barely remember them. Nobody can devise a better theme party than he can. He goes from the life of the party to a storm of destruction in the blink of an eye. You can usually count on something being thrown out the window or off a balcony in a dramatic fashion when he has had a little too much.

Hephaestus, God of Blacksmiths and Fire: Homecoming Chair

You don't know how he does it, but Hephaestus crafts the most intricate sets, whether it is for a themed party or a homecoming float. You can always count on his designs and innovations to put you on top for any craft-related challenge. His masterpiece was the 10-foot volcano that shoots bubbles and fog for the Hawaiian party. Despite his less than stellar looks, he has succeeded where many have failed and somehow managed to woo the most attractive girl at your school.

Eros, God of Love: Social Chair

Wing man extraordinaire. This cupid is a professional and the "Hitch" of your chapter. He knows everyone and knows just what to say to get you a date with someone way out of your league. Despite an affinity to putting people together, he is completely blind to his own romantic endeavors.

Hades, Lord of the Underworld and God of Wealth: Treasurer

Getting in touch with this guy is quite a task, but you need the chapter card. You have to go to his mancave in the middle of nowhere, paddle down a long winding river, pay a two cent toll, and give his three pitbulls a treat each just so you can knock on his door. A morbid stench creeps out as he opens the door to invite you into his home. You wonder how anyone can live there and are amazed his girlfriend spends the little amount of time she does there.

Zeus, God of the Sky and Ruler of Olympus: President

The pledge brother to Hades and Poseidon, as well as a former pledge educator, Zeus is one of the oldest and wisest members of the fraternity, though he rarely acts like it. He is the epitome of the fraternity man and nationals loves him. Constantly having to deal with the poor choices of the other members, the ruler of Olympus is always one to try to maintain order.

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.

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.
