What is Panhellenic?

What is Panhellenic?

Campus
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…

Twenty Years Later

Twenty Years Later

Opinion
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…

Hot Girl Semester

Hot Girl Semester

Opinion
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…

Auburn University at Montgomery Makes Official Switch to NCAA

Auburn University at Montgomery Makes Official Switch to NCAA

News, Sports
BY: Allison Singleterry Auburn University at Montgomery recently became a full Division II member of the NCAA in the Gulf South Conference. Jessie Rosa, AUM’s Director of Athletics, says it has been about a 10 year process to fully make the switch to this division and conference. This process started years ago by first having at least 10 sports participating for the university. From this point, they had to get approval from the Auburn University Board and the NCAA. Once they had the approval they needed, they were able to move forward in the process. From this point, it took…

Steve Irwin Memorial

Steve Irwin Memorial

News, Opinion
BY: Cory Donde We have all had a science teacher at one time or another, but unquestionably one of the most passionate biology teachers to grace the world was Steve Irwin. Steve Irwin taught an entire generation about wildlife and the importance of preserving the beautiful creatures that we share Earth with. Today marks the 13th anniversary of Irwin's death, and it's difficult not to feel melancholy at the loss of such a legend, but it is also a disservice to not remember him for what he has done for the world. His legacy stems from The Crocodile Hunter which…

Kodi’s Cinema Criteria: The Cable Guy

Kodi’s Cinema Criteria: The Cable Guy

News, Opinion
BY: Kodi Robertson This critique will contain spoilers: believe me, this will be a good one! What can you expect when it comes to Jim Carrey? Do you expect to laugh? Do you expect to see his face stretch? How about him making a slight innuendo that your 7-year-old cousin wouldn’t catch? All of these things are what make him a phenomenon in the early and late 90’s (I would even argue it’s what makes him still incredible today). Yet, among all the films I’ve seen him in, nothing compares to his work in The Cable Guy. If you saw…

What Makes Empire Strikes Back A Good Movie?

What Makes Empire Strikes Back A Good Movie?

News, Opinion
BY: Kodi Robertson Just fair warning- this is my favorite movie therefore: Spoilers alert! From the very beginning, The Empire Strikes Back takes audiences through a dark journey in a galaxy far, far, away. Back then in Hollywood movie scripts were passed around according to Mark Hamill in an interview with ABC in 1983, but this script was special. Up until the most climactic scene of the movie, the famous “No, I am your father…” scene, most of the actors like Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher didn’t even have the real final copy of the script. It took George Lucas…

Kodi’s Cinema Criteria: Blow

Kodi’s Cinema Criteria: Blow

News, Opinion
BY: Kodi Robertson As with all my critiques, this one contains spoilers. You have been warned: Blow is more than a street term for a life killing drug, it is a play on the word of feeling beaten when your life spirals out of control. It is a film about passion. Ted Demme’s Blow is a biopic unlike any other. Demme uses a palette of colors and camera shots/angles that tell the story as if he himself was recollecting it all from memory. Hazy screen effects help us establish that George Jung (pronounced as spelled, I sometimes got it confused…

5 Tips for Your Daily Skin Care

5 Tips for Your Daily Skin Care

News, Opinion
BY: Brittany Vallely You’ve had a long day and you’re ready to go bed, but then you remember you need to wash face.  Skin care is important for one’s personal health, but it's a routine that requires multiple steps and can be tedious. While hot water and soap is the easiest opinion, that process is not always favorable. Everyone has different types of skin and sometimes others require more attention— especially if you are a girl who wears makeup throughout the week. Skin can also be sensitive so it is important to know what kind of products are best for…
