Total Sorority Move

No matter where I go around campus, there's at least one group of friends talking about fraternities in general. One day, I heard someone obsess over Delta Chi's Christmas room, and an idea came to me--which is how we all ended up right here. After receiving some feedback from various people in Greek Life, this is the general consensus regarding each fraternity as a holiday:

Acacia

Christmas Eve..

Alpha Tau Omega (ATO)

Labor Day--grilling. 'Nuff said.

Beta Theta Pi (Beta)

Thanksgiving: there's nothing better than coming to Beta for dinner.

Beta Sigma Beta

Hanukkah: if we could stay for eight days straight, we would.

Delta Chi (D Chi)

Christmas... They dressed like Santa for Halloween this year, and who hasn't gotten a picture in their incredible Christmas room?

Delta Sigma Phi (D Sig)

Mischief night: they're always scheming.

Delta Tau Delta (DTD)

Columbus Day: an incredible discovery.


Delta Upsilon (DU)

Presidents Day: you don't always remember that it's coming up, but when it does, you're ecstatic that you have the day off (time to daylong).

Kappa Delta Rho (KDR)

Memorial Day because, "they fought long and hard but we still lost them."

Phi Psi

Election Day: because we're all going there for a champagne brunch to drink our sorrows away after this election.

Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike)

Easter, because being with Pike is like being with family.


Pi Kappa Phi

Mardi Gras, 'cause they don't care.


Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE)

New Year's Eve: if you're there on a Thursday, you're sure to get a kiss at midnight.

Sigma Alpha Mu (SAMMY)

4th of July: it's the most fun if you're outside (in the pit).

Sigma Chi

Valentine's Day (they're sweet, and if you get invited to one of their dated functions, you're a lucky girl).

Tau Phi Delta (Treehouse)

Earth Day (because Treehouse, obviously).

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.
