Omega Phi Alpha is a service sorority dedicated to serve the university community, the community-at-large, the members of the sorority, and the nations of the world. Aside from service, this sisterhood does many other things. This organization is not panhellenic, but has many aspects that a social sorority would have. After making life long friends, and finding myself because of this amazing sorority, here is why you should join Omega Phi Alpha.

1. You learn what it means to be a volunteer

Being in a service sorority means doing service. After doing projects, you begin to see how volunteering affects other people, and it feels so good!

2. You meet amazing people

Being in an organization like Omega Phi Alpha, you meet a wide variety of different girls. They all have their own experiences, and they are all amazing in their own ways.

3. You learn professional skills

While most of the things we do are lots of fun, we also learn how to be professional. We meet on a weekly basis and even practice principals like Robert's Rules.

4. You can earn A LOT of service hours

Members in this organization are here to do service, so you end up gaining a ton of service hours!

5. You make best friends

6. You learn what having a sister is like

If you're like me, I grew up with brothers. I never knew what it was like to have a sister, but this organization teaches you the love of a sister.

7. You develop a sense of belonging within a group

8. You may meet your roommates

If you're lucky enough, you will meet your absolute best friends and hopefully have the chance to room together.

9. You will always have someone to go to

No matter what is going on in your life, you will always have a sister to go to when you need to vent or just want to hang out.

10. You get to make cute crafts

Crafting is so much fun, even if you're bad at it.

11. You have many opportunities to become a leader

Being in Omega Phi Alpha, there are so many opportunities to rise up and become a leader. This organization will teach you leadership.

12. You get to be part of a family

This group is a family. We all love each other, and I am so proud to me a member of Omega Phi Alpha.

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.
