If Greek Gods Ran Your Fraternity

The roles the gods would play if they came down from Mount Olympus.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
