Sorority Recruitment at Vanderbilt
Dec. 6, 2019—It’s that time of the year again. I’m not talking about the holidays, finals, or the first snowfall, but rather, I’m talking about sorority recruitment.

This way, freshmen can navigate new coursework, a new state, new...

Being a Non-Greek Life Student at Vandy
Nov. 27, 2019—In movies about college, why do they always show the sorority girls as the hot, popular it-girls? And that fraternity brothers rule the school? Totally false advertising.

It was truly a great experience,...
