Why Going Greek Is The Best Decision

Going Greek is something I would have never seen myself doing, however, it has been one of the best decisions I could have ever made! It has come with so many rewards that I never expected to happen!

1. Support Systems and Friendships

One of the main reasons individuals decide to join Greek life is to meet more individuals on campus! Once you join a chapter, you will be spending so much time with the rest of the members that will be going through the same amazing times and hard times that you may be going through. Going through this with other individuals will be a sure sign of building amazing support systems and lifelong friendships!

2. Connections

Many chapters are considered to be national which means that you have sisters and brothers on the other side of the country that you may never meet! Which does sound a bit terrifying but is also very exciting because when you put on your resume or tell someone that you were apart of Greek life, the individuals reviewing your resume, or that you are talking with, may have been in Greek life as well! That is a plus for you!


3. Leadership

Whether you take on a position within your chapter or are just an active member you will improve your leadership skills in so many ways. You will have a leadership role whether you take on a position, decide to run an upcoming event, or just taking the extra step to get your chapter more involved. This is a great quality that graduate schools and future employers will notice in you!


4. Academics

When it comes to academics while at college it can be very beneficial to have a group of individuals that you can trust their opinion or even know you better then you may know yourself and are able to give you helpful advice. They would be able to give you guidance with choosing what course to take with which professor, best way to take notes for that course, and how to study!


5. Life Skills

You are learning life skills every day without even realizing it and when in Greek life that happens even more! You are constantly communicating with other individuals your chapter and outside of your chapter that you practice communication, public speaking, planning, organization, time management and so many more that will help you for the rest of your life!

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.

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.
