All in with Althea

I am so tired, actually, scratch that, I am EXHAUSTED. I know I sound dramatic, but recruitment took everything out of me. It also doesn't help that once again, I got sick at some point during this time. As mentioned several times throughout my blogging journey, I am no stranger to not feeling 100% healthy a lot of the time. I swear it's from a million combinations of potential answers, but meeting so many new people and being constantly surrounded by people, not only in class but also in the recruitment, my immune system was bound to become overwhelmed.  Besides getting sick, recruitment was so much fun! I got to meet and talk to so many amazing people throughout this recruitment season. I love the ONU Greek life community so much, and every girl I've met is so sweet.  Getting sick wasn't the only thing that went wrong for me because that's just my luck. If you know anything about me, I am the most clumsy and uncoordinated person ever! Saturday morning, I was walki...

As the fall semester starts, there are many opportunities to join new clubs and organizations, and sorority recruitment is my personal favorite.  I personally love it because to me it gets me out talking to new people and learning about others, which I wouldn't normally do. If you're not familiar with our sorority recruitment works or how it works here at ONU, I will break it down. Rush here consists of three nights of going to different houses and talking to the girls already in the sorority. The three rounds consist of Philanthropy, Sisterhood, and Preference rounds in that order. Philanthropy round is the most chill of the three formal nights; each chapter shows a video about their national philanthropy, and it's a good night to start getting to know the PNMS (Potential New Members) as they all make their way to each of the four houses, whereas the next two nights get more serious as both the PNMs and sororities drop each other and figure out where they see themselves fo...

         Greek Week. The most exhausting but fun week on campus especially for the members of Greek Life. Greek Week takes place every year on Ohio Northern's campus. It is a whole week of sports and activities for each sorority and fraternity to compete for their respective trophies and become that year's Greek life champions.   This year's schedule includes:  Monday: Greek Sing  What is Greek Sing? Greek Sing is where each fraternity and sorority has to complete a ten-minute performance with dances and lyric changes to fit ONU and Greek life.  Placed: 4th Tuesday: No Events :(   (Honors Day) Wednesday: Pandora's Box  What is Pandora's Box? Pandora's box could literally mean any event the Greek Week co-chairs can pretty much think of. Last year it was a game of Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. In years past one Pandora's box event was to see who could build the highest tower out of marshmallows and uncooked spaghetti ...
