A New Round of Brothers

-
A building at Affinity East, a housing complex for
sororities and fraternities at Ohio Northern Univeristy.
As this new semester gets started, all the students are getting used to their new professors, getting back into the routine of doing homework and trying to remember how to survive on their own. On top of all of this, Ohio Northern's fraternities are running their spring recruitment schedules. During this time, fraternities plan a handful of events that people can attend to meet with the people in that fraternity and possibly get a bid, or an invitation, to join that fraternity.

Ohio Northern currently boasts five fully fledged fraternities. These fraternities are Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Pi and Theta Chi. One fraternity went out of there way the other day to tell me about their spring recruitment events and let me enter a raffle for $100. This fraternity is Sigma Pi. It looks to me like Sigma Pi is running very good public relations right now by making sure they cater to their audience: poor college students.

It looks like Sigma Pi has an interesting line up of events coming up these next couple weeks. They start off with a coney dog party on Jan. 31 from 5:30-7 p.m. This is followed by a Super Bowl party on Feb. 4. Sigma Pi will also have dinner and Viva Maria's, a popular Italian restaurant in Ada, on Feb. 8 at 6  p.m. Their last public event will be a bowling and pizza party at Norada Lanes on Feb. 10 from 2-4 p.m. This will be followed by an exclusive invite only party on Feb. 13. This is all the description I can give about this last event because I am not in a fraternity and it is shrouded in mystery.

I thought about joining a fraternity when I first arrived on campus, but then I was way too scared to interact with these older strangers by myself so I never went. Everyone I know who is in a fraternity or sorority loves it, so I think I may give it another try this semester!

An Easter Snapchat Review

-

In my house, Easter is a time to get together with extended family members. If you're anything like me you can only take so much of this. You must understand, I do love my family and I am very glad that I got to see all of them, but when you wake up at 8 a.m. for church and then don't stop seeing family until 6 p.m, it takes its toll on you. As an extremely weary millennial, I turned to the aide of social media to distract and comfort me. After checking up on my Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr pages, I hopped on over to my favorite new platform: Snapchat. It appears that Snapchat threw quite the Easter party on their app featuring challenges and many fun filters. For this week's social media blog post I am going to review some of these special features, so sit down with your remaining Easter candy and enjoy! The Great Snapchat Egg Hunt Inspired by the Pok é mon Go craze of a couple years ago, Snapchat released one million decorative eggs to be discovered u

My Experience Being a Part of a Theatre's (Public Relations) Benefit

-

While some people spent their spring breaks going on cruises or taking vacations to some warm, sunny beach in the South Atlantic states, I spent my break rehearsing for and performing in a Cleveland theatre's annual benefit performance. The theatre I am referring to is Near West Theatre, and their last benefit was entitled, "40 Seasons of Love," and occurred on March 10, 2018. I have done three shows with this theatre since the summer of 2017. I was first involved with their production of Steven Sondheim's "Assassins," and instantly fell in love with the theatre and the people there. It was at this theatre I fell (deeper) in love with the art that is theatre and began to understand the impact it has on everyone involved. Whether you were a part of making the piece or if you were just in the audience, good pieces of theatre leave an impact on you. Following "Assassins," I was in their winter production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technic

An extremely talented group of ladies at Ohio Northern University (ONU) are less than a week away from opening the show, "The Wolves," by Sarah DeLappe. The show premiered off-Broadway at The Playwright's Realm in 2016. It was met with rave reviews and received a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in drama. DeLappe's new play was found last year on a website called, "New Play Exchange," by ONU acting professor, Brian Sage. After contacting DeLappe's agents, Sage was able to put the play in the 2017-2018 season. ONU is one of the first places to put on this piece since the New York City premiere. The show is summarized by the New Play Exchange's website with the following:  " A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for nin
