The purpose of this paper is to review and analyze student cultures in the book Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities, by Alexandra Robbins. The book provides a glimpse of the historically white national sorority system and investigates their secret group behavior. In the United States and Canada, approximately 800 institutions host social Greek Life on their campuses (Long, 2012). These chapters within the Greek Life system promote the ideals of scholarship, leadership, service, and friendship. However, in the Robbins’ book and narrative of a sorority illustrates sorority life and negative realities of that system, such as rush, bid, racism, pledging, initiation, Greek Week, breaks-up and sexual assaults.
While instructing at Tillotson, Prosser would showcase her leadership and teaching skills, as well as truly committing herself to the psychological and educational development of African American students. During her time at Tillotson, between 1921 and 1930, Prosser was able to work her way through the ranks to become the registrar. A short time after becoming the institution’s registrar, Prosser would obtain the position of Dean, as well (Benjamin, Henry, McMahon. 2005). In 1930 Prosser was offered employment at Tougaloo College in Mississipi. The position included administrative duties as well as a teaching position.

Crisp, the university’s vice chancellor for student affairs said that “he was unaware of the American Eagle effort on his campus” (839) and that “They are not supposed to be using the opportunity to help people move in as a way of forwarding commercial ventures” (840). These anecdotes also have satire, with the words like “commercial ventures” and the way “effort” was used. These together also create pathos, because they make it seem like these students are rebelling against the authority in these colleges. This makes it seem like a worse thing than it is, especially because “commercial ventures” has a negative connotation, usually do do with a someone misleading someone. Singer also used bandwagon in her essay, to show how the companies choose only certain kids based on popularity.
Iowa State University is home to many astounding buildings that have tested the sands of time. As you walk through campus you may see the Old Farmhouse building that houses a great museum or the grand buildings of Beardshear and Curtis halls, but one building that you should direct your attention to rather than just walk by every day, as I had done in the past, to truly understand its history and meaning, is Catt Hall. This building has gone through many decades of change and accomplishment and is one of the most important buildings on campus through its help of Women’s suffrage with Carrie Chapman Catt, changes in departments, and withstanding demolition wishes of its amazing architectural design. Catt Hall is one of the oldest buildings here on

The title of the most ‘Disorganized, Sporadically Planned, Disaster of an Event of the 2016-2017 School Year,’ must sadly be granted the 2016-17 National Honor Society Induction Ceremony. As a brand new National Honor Society Inductee, I was honored with the chance to attend this prestigious event and found myself leaving dissatisfied and disillusioned. The National Honor Society is a well-respected and important organization in the academic community, one that students work hard to achieve enrollment in and colleges view with respect and admiration. The Induction Ceremony is meant to honor these students dedication and scholastic work ethic and pay homage to the Honor students that have come before us. I had much been looking forward the event as a way to show my family how much effort I have poured into my highschool career.
Within any particular system, there is present an underlying motive for success in every sense of the word. While in some scenarios, that motive can be hidden beneath the desire to fit in, above all this, the idea of prosperity is the main factor in motivating individuals toward their goals. Susan Faludi, the author of “The Naked Citadel”, explores how at the all-boys college, students are pressured into conforming to the “Whole Man” standard where they develop brotherhood, a sense of structure, and belonging. When these men are able to develop such strong bonds with one another, several flaws come about. The majors issues at The Citadel, lie in their denial of women into the school, and the traumatic hazing new students endure.

Despite of the fact that Vale and Centennial College belong to different sectors (private and public), more differences come up when considering the industries, mining and education respectively.

In one of our earliest Honors Colloquium discussions, we were asked to consider the purpose of a Liberal Arts education, as well as the priorities and concerns confounding the millennial mindset, especially in the present sociopolitical climate. In my initial reflection, I merely scratched the surface in what I surmised from the Liberal Arts chronology, and what it carries to the table for us, as students at Saint Michael’s College. Whilst it has its own imperfections, I said, there is no better way for us to attain the wider breadth of knowledge, reserved not simply to our respective fields of study, but allowing for furthered collaboration across the board. From here, the sources we read brought clarity through shedding light on the pivotal balance between the arts and the sciences.
