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!

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
