For most of my life, I have been skeptical of Greek life. My judgment was influenced by popular television shows that only portray sleazy parties, ruthless hazing and harebrained women thoughtlessly backstabbing one another.
Singles were able to toss away their worries of being alone and having no plans on Valentine’s Day because Singles Awareness Day, an event held by the Campus Activities Board.Organizers gave single students a chance to celebrate themselves and feel involved on the predominantly couple-oriented holiday.
I have never been a fan of Greek life. I went into college not wanting to rush or pledge for any sort of sorority. I wanted to make my own way on campus and make my own friends.
Greek Week has finally passed and the fraternities and sororities can relax and do not have to worry about endless practices and gaining points for the week’s awards.
Alpha Omicron Pi, the latest sorority addition to Greek life at the University of La Verne, was once only an idea, then a colony and now after much hard work and dedication from its members is now a full fledged chapter.
