To the Girl Thinking About Going Greek
Brianna Polka

College, the best years of your life. But why? When you are in college, especially when you come in as a freshman, you can reinvent yourself. You can really be yourself for once. You can find new friends, in a new place, with a whole new outlook on life. Maybe you will even decide you want to go Greek. Or maybe you will think you don’t want to go Greek. Let me tell you something that may shock you, I never ever thought I would go Greek. EVER. But I did, and it was the best decision I have ever made.

College is new and scary, but it is new and wonderful. What better way than to make friends and do good in the world? But why join a sorority then? All we do is party and sleep around right? Well, what if I told you that is incorrect? You would think I was a liar. But being in a sorority is not about finding the hottest party of the weekend. It is about becoming part of something bigger than who you really are.

Joining a sorority is beyond amazing. It is becoming a sister with a group of strangers that you may have never talked to before. It is about coming together as one. It is about being an individual in a group of people that you share a common bond of sisterhood with. It is about loving each other. It is about being the best person you can be. It’s about being there for your sisters and having people to be there for you when you need picked up off the ground.

So, why should you go Greek? Because if you don’t you may miss one of the biggest opportunities in your life. At least get out there and meet the sororities on your campus. If you go and don’t like it, maybe it isn’t for you. But maybe you will walk up to a group of girls and fit right it. Then you may find your home.

Without my sisters, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. They push me to do amazing things that are bigger than me. They push me to get good grades and do good by everyone out there. They love me in the good times in the bad. They love me when I don’t always love them for telling me the truth. I love my sisters, I love my sorority and I stand by Greek life 100%.

GO GREEK!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
