Why I Fell In Love With Alpha Chi Omega
Michaela Jensen

Alpha Chi Omega became my home and now is my home. I knew it was the right place for me because of many different reasons. Alpha Chi has offered me more than just cute letters and best friends, but also leadership skills, networking ability and the love for our philanthropy. Here are the reasons I am proud to call myself a sorority girl.


1. Our Philanthropy:

Domestic Violence Awareness, Education, and Prevention. Before Alpha Chi, I never realized how many people are actually affected by this issue. Alpha Chi provides awareness for the issue and we do our best we can to bring attention to the issue. We as Alpha Chi's believe that domestic violence is a big issue, and it needs to be addressed.



2. Our Symphony:

Our symphony reminds me to be the best version of me I can be. It reminds me to appreciate the little things in life and to see the beauty in the normal things of life. It reminds me to keep my life and self balanced, and believe in the happiness, joy, and peace around me.



3. Our Badge:

The Lyre Badge. It reflects Alpha Chi Omega's musical heritage. Our badge reflects a harp because it was important that they stayed true to the musical interest.



4. The Flower:

Alpha Chi Omega's flower is a red carnation. The red carnation was chosen because it shows the sororities color.



5. Open Motto:

"Together Let Us Seek The Heights." This statement means through the strength of our sisters, we will continue to reach the stars. We push ourselves to grow, learn, and develop throughout the sorority.



6. Our Colors:

Alpha Chi Omega's colors are Scarlet Red and Olive Green.


7. MacDowell Month:

February is MacDowell month, and this month members are taught to appreciate the fine arts. Members are encouraged to attend musical events, art museums, and other events that show appreciation for the arts. I love the aspect of McDowell month because music has been a huge part of my life.

8. Hera Day - March 1st:

Hera Day is a day that is devoted to aiding others in the happiness and well-being. We go out in our community and do things that are going to help others just because we love to see others happy.



9. A Second Family:

Alpha Chi Omega has given me my second family. It has given me the friends in college that push me to be a better person everyday. They are the people who always support me and each other, and bring the happiness and joy to each and every person.

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.
