Dear Rho Chi, Here's The Thank You Letter You Deserve, But Probably Never Got

Although you're really only under their grasp for a week, your Rho Chi's have the potential to be a mentor and friend for life. So whether it was running away from them on Bid Day to your new home or through a disappointing phone call in your room, if you never got a chance to say thank you, this one is for you.

Dear Rho Chi, Here's The Thank You Letter You Deserve, But Probably Never Got

Dear Rho Chi,

It may seem a little much since it was only a week, but for some of us, rush has been a dream waiting to happen our whole lives. For those growing up in the South, it's making friends from across the country and finding those people that make for a perfect home away from home, and that includes you. From playing songs on the stereo and jamming out on the hot breaks between houses, or always having a smile on your face when we entered and exited the houses, thank you is not enough.

Personally, I've gone through rush twice and had two different Rho Chis in my small group and 10 in my groups total. Every PNM and friend that I've talked to said they probably could not have gotten through the week without the aid and guidance of their Rho Chi. Going to dinner after a long day on the row, even though it's not required, just because they want to socialize with you and answer all your 50 questions about sororities and the university or offering buying you Starbucks and talk after they had to make that dreaded phone call early in the morning that you got dropped means more than you know. So thanks Rho Chi, for taking off your letters and giving them to us for a week, we can't wait to maybe one day give back to rushees like you gave to us.

Sincerely,

Your forever PNM

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
