The Season of P.O.T.H.

The Season of P.O.T.H.

Welcome to March, debatably the biggest, jam-packed month for fraternities and sororities. Although big/little reveals may be different weeks and date parties may have different themes, one thing remains the same: P.O.T.H. And for those of you who are wondering what this even stands for, it's Putting On The Hits. For those of you who are still unaware of what this is, it's the largest philanthropy event held on campus by Delta Zeta.  

What is so intriguing about P.O.T.H you might ask? Well, almost every sorority and fraternity on Miami University's campus participates in the philanthropy for St. Rita's School for the Deaf. Each new pledge class creates a dance (most are themed) which are performed to a list of songs chosen by the fraternity or sorority. After a very VERY entertaining night, a winner is chosen: one from the fraternities and one from the sororities. 

As a member of Delta Zeta, I experienced P.O.T.H. last year and have to say it was one of the most memorable nights of spring semester. The dances were put together well and even hysterical at times. But the most memorable part of the night was when the students from St. Rita's performed on stage. You could tell that the students loved what they do and loved every minute on that stage. And we loved watching them. 

The sign for "clapping" is to wave your hands. In that moment, everyone in the audience started standing and waving their hands while they were on stage performing. 

Most of the fraternities and sororities even try to incorporate sign language into their performances for the kids from St. Rita's. 

Whether you're a member of Greek life or not, P.O.T.H. is something definitely worth going to, especially when you get to watch your friends either act super serious dancing, or make complete fools of themselves. 

*P.O.T.H. is Wednesday March 11, 2015 at 7 p.m.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
