Why Rushing Pi Kappa Alpha Was One Of The Best Decisions I Had Made
Pi Kappa Alpha

1. You always have someone to hang out with.

No matter what is happening on campus, I have always been able to call up one of my brothers to hang out or get some food. At any point of the day, I could find someone to relax with, and that is not something everyone just has.

2. There is always an event happening of some sort.

Pi Kappa Alpha members at Methodist have their hands in many many pies. I can just meander around the campus and see anything from a group of guys hanging out by the cars, to a pie eating contest impromptu being held on Sink Field. Regardless of where on campus one goes, you are bound to see a Pike doing something worthwhile and doing something fun. Join in if you want, the more the merrier.

3. Pike puts a good foot forward on campus

Pikes don't just know how to have fun, but we also know how to help our community. We engage in amazing involvements, Cycle For Life being one of them, as well as Habitat for Humanity and many other community service projects. Pike men believe in bettering themselves through their community. We do that by any means we can, whether it involves heavy lifting or simple fundraising.

4. Pikes hold each other to a higher standard

Members of Pi Kappa Alpha live in the effort to become better Scholars, better Leaders, better Athletes, and better Gentlemen. This means we have told not only push ourselves in our studies and personal lives, but we also must push each other to be better. Without the support, I'm sure I wouldn't have succeeded as much as I did in my freshman year.

5. Amazing opportunities beyond university

When I'm wearing letters, people recognize me as a member of a greater organization. They don't just see Greek symbols, but they see something bigger, a group that has spent many years attempting to better the world around it and creating individuals of the finest caliber. It reminds me that I don't just have brothers while I am at school, but that I will be a part of this for the rest of my life, and that is something that I can truly take pride in.

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.

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.
