Taking A Look At The New oneGreek App

It seems that most pictures of Greek life are limited to Instagram and Facebook, but the new oneGreek app is on a mission to create a more in-depth way for Greeks to post and comment on pictures with one another not only from their campus, but from around the country, as well. The app is free, and no additional costs are required for any features included.

The app may seem similar to Instagram at first glance, but there are some differences. The first, and most important step when the app is first downloaded is to get verified. This is meant as a way to prevent non-Greeks from using the app. A person that is already using the app can get others in their chapter verified by texting a link to their phone. If you are the first person from your chapter to use the app, then you may have to contact the developers to get verified via email. Once you do, your chapter will appear in the app and you can begin adding others from your chapter. Anyone that is verified can verify others from your chapter if they want to join.

The second unique thing is that oneGreek will show how many likes are from guys vs girls, and also from which chapter and campus they are from. Additionally, there is a chapter page that displays all of the your chapter member's names and pictures posted as well as a campus page that displays every fraternity and sorority currently registered. This allows for users to browse pictures from users from around their campus. The app also has a search function, which allows anyone to have the ability to search for specific hashtags, campuses, and chapters from around the country.

Anyone can customize their feed by pressing the "tie" button on a chapter's page. This will provide a customized feed that only shows the houses that you have tied, such as your house's fellow chapters across the country, or different chapters on your campus. The more likes your chapter has, the more likely it is to be seen by others in the main feed. This is driven by how many likes and comments your chapter's pictures have.

Since oneGreek is new, there are going to be lots of updates to iron out some bugs or to add additional content and features. In its current state, the app looks very promising and many chapters at Michigan State's campus are starting to use it already. You can download the app for free on the Apple App Store or Google Play.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
