Should You Join Fraternity Sorority Life?
Moira McCarville

There are so many different ways to get involved on campus rather it's a community college or a state university. The most basic way and well-known aspect is Fraternity and Sorority Life.

This is something that is huge on campus and a lot of the reason why events happen such as Homecoming Week and Greek Week.

There are so many different aspects and perspectives on this topic and personally, I never thought that I would be one writing an article about how much I love my sorority and how much I've gained out of it but, I guess here we are. :)

From dressing up to signing and dancing to going to big events, this is always best done with your sisters and/or your brothers. This makes you feel so connected to the university and allows a super-easy way to get involved in your school and on campus. Being involved is something that I never put too much emphasis on when you're in college but it is just as important in college than it is in high school, if not more.

Universities are huge, and it's so easy to get lost in the swamp of people and not go to class or not do anything. By being involved in a chapter on campus, this is a way of holding your self accountable to get out there and do something.

Another big reason why I joined FSL life. Everyone thinks that when you join your grades are going to start going downhill. In reality, it's the exact opposite.

FSL life cares about your grades and usually make you do study hours and study tables to make your GPA get a lot higher. They acknowledge that college is hard and that you may need time to step away from life and just focus on your needs.

Overall, it's ultimately your decision to get involved in Fraternity or Sorority life. It is a big task and part of your life that you will need to take part in. It was personally a very good decision for me.

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.

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.
