Greek life enhances UIC college experienceBrian J. Egerton
When you hear the word “fraternity” or “sorority,” what is the first thing that pops into your head? Unfortunately for many, the Greek System may have a negative stereotype. Some negative stereotypes or Greeks are perpetuated through films like “Animal House,” “Revenge of the Nerds,” to the more [...]
One way to combat anti-Greek sentiment is to not let published statments go unchallenged. One of “the good guys” offers a rebuttal to the Michigan Daily article (we posted it on Wednesday).
Viewpoint: Greek bashing baseless and shamefulBy Alex Prosperi on 9/21/07
Since freshman year, I have been a proud and active member of Sigma Phi [...]
In September of 2004 I started taking courses toward an MBA at the University of Phoenix. Fortunately they have ground campuses in Houston (four of them!) so I was able to to everything in a classroom setting.

Ben Stein is the droning-voiced pundit who shows up on “CBS Sunday Morning” from time to time. Those of my age remember as the boring economics teacher in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (”Bueller?…Bueller?….”).

We have all heard the great myth of college fraternities: when you graduate all you have to do is waltz into the office of “Mr. Bigbux Alumni”, slip him the secret handshake, and immediately you are on the fast track to fame and fortune. That may happen in some more perfect world than this, but [...]
Well, as Forrest Gump said, “Life is just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.” I am really surprised that there was actually any notice or concern about my recent post regarding my response requesting an Alumni Dinner ticket only (like I have been able to do before).

Is it all undergraduate? by David L. Woods
Most of the writing on Lambda Chi Alpha celebrates the undergraduate institution. While this is logical, is it correct?
You also advised to write about CURRENT matters! Yet I wonder if the majority of members really have much CURRENT connection with our fraternity? And without an “occasional sojourn into [...]
The official colors of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity are red and purple. Gold is utilized essentially as trim, but is not an official color. While gold is used on SigEp chapter flags for Greek letter chapter designations and as striping, it is NOT an official color of the Fraternity. While gold is [...]
