AUM Cross Country

BY: Allison Stewart Beep… beep… beep… It is 7 a.m. and your alarm clock goes off. You wake up and get ready. For the next two and a half hours, you will be running and working out.

What is Panhellenic?

BY: Morgan Thayer You see them in front of Goodwyn Hall every day asking if you are interested in going through recruitment, but have you ever wondered what exactly they are talking about? Recruitment is a process in which undergraduate women join a sorority. It is a procedure that includes a number of themed rounds in which potential new members learn about the things that make up a sorority. We have three chapters on campus; Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta, and Zeta Tau Alpha. These chapters create a community built upon the leadership, involvement, benevolence, and high academic standards held by the chapter members. This association is made up of a diverse group of young women, each with a passion reaching far beyond this organization alone. Each chapter o...

Twenty Years Later

BY: Caitlin Gallagher The year was 2005, and I was just coming into my seventh-grade school year. Dying to make a good impression, all I wanted was a pair of Clarks’ Wallabees. When I told my parents I HAD to have the shoes, they informed me that those particular shoes were in style when they were teenagers. There was no way we were talking about the same shoes. But we were. This is when I learned about the “20-Year Nostalgia Theory”. Although the most prominent recurring trends are typically fashion, all trends make revivals. From music to decor, television shows and even scents, we are constantly surrounded by nostalgia from eras past. It’s no secret that the last few years have been a tribute to the 90’s. Kurt Cobain, Doc Martens, Cucumber Melon and Lisa Frank‒ these were t...

Hot Girl Semester

BY: Kaleria Jackson The theme for Summer 2019 was “Hot Girl Summer”. This summer’s theme came from up and coming rap artist, Megan Thee Stallion. Megan Pete, better known as Megan Thee Stallion, came up with this phrase to encourage women to be confident in themselves while looking good and having fun. This summer was filled with beautiful women who expressed themselves freely by showing their confidence. Along with trying to promote confidence, Megan’s music has given women the right type of confidence. As summer comes to an end, the trend does not seem to be ending. With the fall season beginning, the new theme is “Hot Girl Semester”. Megan is a third-year college student at Texas Southern University, and she is trying to promote education. While Megan is getting her deg...
