Greek of the Week: Alex Goff

Every week we choose one student in Georgia Southern's Greek community who exemplifies Greek ideals. It is important to us that we celebrate the great people that build us up, and show off their talents. This week, our Greek of the Week is Alex Goff, who is a junior member of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Tau Kappa Epsilon embodies men of love, charity, and esteem along with supporting core values such as integrity, honesty, and patience. Every man of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity is expected to go above and beyond the expectations of our fellow brothers, and Alex Goff makes leaps and bounds to set himself apart.

Goff became involved with TKE in the spring of 2013 when a couple of friends began to revive the defunct fraternity. "I liked their vision for creating a group of men who strive for acceptance, achievement, and brotherhood and I quickly joined," Goff said.

He went on to become quite an active member in the organization. He led multiple committees in the fraternity, was an IFC delegate for spring '14, and participated as treasurer of the fraternity for a year. Goff maintained all of this while managing his school work, and also holding down a fantastic job at Orbx Simulation Systems, where he is a flight simulations developer.

Men of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity are lead to be better men who will build a better world. This is what, in the end, also spoke to me. TKE strives to enrich the men in its bonds and hold the core values to heart. I never thought I would join a fraternity, but to see the members strive to better themselves is truly inspiring. To see Goff excel and embody the ideals we all hold is truly meaningful, and it makes the experience worthwhile for me.

So, thank you, Alex Goff, for everything you do. Here at The Odyssey, we wish you the best of luck and encourage you to keep exemplifying the Greek community's values!

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.
