Sigma Alpha Epsilon is in the news once again, but this time it is on Clemson University’s campus in South Carolina. The fraternity is officially on disciplinary probation from now until Feb. 7th, 2017, as reported on by WYFF 4’s website. Ouch. In a statement, Clemson spokeswoman Cathy Sams announced that SAE received this punishment after hosting a party on Dec. 7th, 2014. The fraternity was cited by the Office of Community and Ethical Standards for violating regulations of alcohol, failure to comply with official request and student organizational conduct. So what was it about the party that violated organizational conduct? The fraternity decided to do something quite common: host a theme party. The theme? “Cripmas,” which meant college students would end up dressing in gang attire and taking offensive pictures.
An Open Letter To The Hot Guy In My Lecture: I Love You
Dear Hot Guy Who Sits In The Back Row Of The Lecture Hall, When you walked into class on syllabus week, I knew that taking this stupid Gen Ed would be worth it. Something in the way you casually walked with a book bag on your back and smile on your face made my heart melt. Because of you, I actually went to every class, which is rare for somebody like me. I also began reading the textbook, hell I even started doing the optional readings. All of this effort so that I could raise my hand in class with the hope that you would notice me and fall in love with me the way I have for you. What can I say? I’ve become a changed woman because of your chiseled chin — I cannot thank you enough for being so beautiful. I think I speak on behalf of my
Hangover’s “Alan” Impersonator Rakes In $250,000 A Year
Everybody always talks about being yourself and staying true to yourself and blah blah blah. I totally get that and I totally agree with that, but sometimes it is fun to be somebody different every now and then. Take Thaddeus Kalinoski. After losing his job as a hotel manager and being left by his wife, Kalinoski was not really loving the skin he was in. To switch it up, he gained 200 pounds and grew a massive beard. It was after a long look in the mirror that Kalinoski had an epiphany: he looked exactly like Alan, the lovable character from The Hangover trilogy, played by Zach Galifanakis. In an interview, Kalinoski said, “…[A]fter not shaving for several weeks I looked at myself in the mirror and thought ‘wait a minute – you look like Alan.’ People started telling me when I was out at night that I looked like him. So for
An Ode To The Hot Professor
There is nothing better than encountering somebody who is both facey and intelligent. It is like Miley Cyrus said back when she was just an adorable little Disney star: you get the best of both worlds. Lectures can be boring as hell, reading case studies can make you want to drop out of college all together and do not even get me started on studying for midterms. It is easy for a college student to lose some motivation and gain some frustration during their undergrad years. How have universities combatted these negative feelings? By recruiting hot professors and graduate students to teach their classes. Sure, the university probably hired them for their stellar credentials, but there had to be a moment during the hiring process where the recruiters noticed how hot they were on their LinkedIn page and thought, “Wow, I’m sure the ladies will show up to his class.” There is not

Whether you are going somewhere exotic and fantastic or you are kicking it with your parents for the week, Spring Break is just about all college students can talk about right now. If you are experiencing this heavy case of Spring Fever, then these thoughts have crossed your mind at least once while you have been spacing out during lecture. We will start with the travelers…. 30.) “I cannot wait to get tan.” 29.) “Would it be too risky to not even get a hotel in hopes of finding a Spring Break hook-up who I could shack with for the week?” 28.) “Wow, I am going to be so broke after this trip.” 27.) “I cannot wait to sleep all day and stay up all night.” 26.) “In fact, maybe I just won’t sleep at all.”
