What's Happening Now

Are you ready for Greek life's biggest basketball game of the year? 

Sigma Nu and Fiji will face off in the annual Nuji game on Sept. 20, at 2 p.m, in the old Stillwater High School gym. This is Nuji's eighth year. The game will be played in a larger gym to fit the growing crowds. Every year the gym is packed with screaming girls and fired up guys. The freshman not playing in the game, paint-up and stand on the sidelines supporting their fraternity. The Oklahoma State men's basketball team even attended the last game. 

The game costs $5 to attend and all proceeds go to the Stillwater Junior High athletic program. Grant Newton, Fiji coach, explained that this is all the money the program receives for the year and that, "it's awesome we are able to help the kids out." 

Sigma Nu philanthropy chair, Seth Housley, said that they held tryouts before school started. Housley went on to say, "The freshman rivalry is super intense and everyone else really gets into it." The record is 5-2 Fiji, right now, but Housley is hopeful about this year.  He played as a freshman and said "It was the most fun atmosphere that he had ever played in. Newton also played as a freshman and said "It was my favorite memory of last year and I'm excited to get to be a part of it again." 

Whitney Bruneau, Kappa Kappa Gamma, who attended last year said, "I had so much fun supporting two of my favorite fraternities and I can't wait to go again this year!"

Housley and Newton hope everyone comes out to support the Stillwater Junior High athletic program and have a great time. Who is going to come away with a victory this year?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
