Final Exams


Greetings!!

I will begin with a complaint; I do not understand why final examinations have to be within the same week. Who came up with this rule? Not only do institutions of higher education immensely stress students by scheduling multiple examinations at the same time, but the professors within them give us extra work as if we have nothing else to do and then feel some type of way when students do not perform to the highest of their potential.

It is very frustrating.

Life must go on; and so I study away. And write away. And anxiously await the day that I am finished. I have a cumulative environmental science exam, a cumulative ancient philosophy exam, and a 4-year cumulative PR portfolio for my PR Management class. Sound simple? Not. At. All.

It is still a bitter-sweet moment because I realize that I am one semester away from saying goodbye to SU. I had a conversation with my sorority sister and we listed all of the invaluable opportunities and privileges that we have as SU students. The list is immeasurable.

Back to studying...

Greek Week


Greetings!!

The Greek Community on campus has been preparing for Susquehanna University's annual Greek Week for the past few weeks; Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., Kappa Delta, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Delta Pi, and Zeta Tau Alpha are among the sororities. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Mu Delta, Phi Mu Alpha, and Theta Chi are among the frats.

Each day of Greek Week will feature a different activity. Events include: The Mr. and Mrs. S.U. Pageant, Airband, a Banner Contest(this years theme is 90's cartoon),and the Greek Olympics, among other events and competitions.

Each fraternity and sorority is in charge of setting up one of the daily activities, along with Greek Week chairs and Susquehanna Greek Advisor Andrea Hoppenjans.

Points will be awarded to the fraternities and sororities in proportion to how they place in each competition. Five points will be deducted for organizations that do not participate.

Bragging rights are the point of Greek Week to the organizations. Competition is fierce and every organization puts hours and weeks of hard work into competing.

Airband, in my opinion, is the most looked forward to event. Members from each organization perform a routine, to music, and adds a theme to the performance. Last Year, Sigma Gamma Rho scored second place in Airband. Because our mascot is the French Toy Poodle, out theme was Pretty Poodle School.

We look forward to bringing it one this year. Best of luck to the rest!
