Nerds and Sorority girls. They go together like a John Hughes movie and the 80’s.Which is probably why Washington State’s Linux Users Group (the university’s largest computer club) has decided put out a memo to all the sororities on campus: “Make us over, and we’ll do your homework.�
In an effort to attract more women to the computer science program (and get a free haircut), the “nerds� of WSU’s Linux Club plan to host a “nerd auction�.
“You can buy a nerd and he’ll fix your computer�, their website explains, “help you with stats homework, or if you’re really adventurous, take you to dinner!�
But before the computer loving dudes go through with the auction, they’re looking for a few good sorority girls to make them more appealing.
“If anyone’s going to bid on us, we’ll need some spicing up. And who better to help with that than sorority girls who like nothing better than a makeover?�
While the whole “Beauty and the Greekâ€? event is still in the planning stages, WSU’s computer program has garnered national attention because of it. Read More »

If I was still in college right now, I’d be peeing my pants with excitement over this awesome new development in alcoholism.
The Portopong!
Yes, yes, the summer is almost over (10 days and counting) but if you have access to a pool and a group of fun-loving friends, the Portopong is where it’s at. What college student doesn’t love a good game of pong? And in a pool no less? Yea, how about no less than amazing.
Just to make sure, we’re talking about this kind of pong, not this kind. Read More »

Being in a sorority I have my reservations about ABC Family’s new show, “GrΣΣkâ€?, since whenever a portrayal of us is attempted it’s almost always negative. Not to mention that it always drives me crazy when people spell “Greek” with sigmas in place of “E”. Every Greek knows that while “sigma” might LOOK like ‘E’, it has nothing to do with the letter; “epsilon” does. Of course epsilon is just represented by a plain ‘E’, so it’s not nearly as swΣΣt looking.
Anyway another concern I have is that this is the kind of show I would have expected from The CW, not ABC Fam. Aren’t they supposed to be strictly PG? But I guess it is what it is. They even have an odd advertisement gimmick where you can “rushâ€? the frats and sorors of the show on the website. Anyway, I can admit that sororities and fraternities have done a lot over the years to warrant a negative image, but it’s still a very present and ever thriving community on most college campuses, and its members are really sick of the constant fire we’re put under, personally and publicly.
I often feel like our campus does everything in their power to downplay our Greek societies, including our very own Greek office which disbanded a sorority this past spring. I think that often times our administration forgets that this is college, and these are sororities, not the Stepford Wives. As a result all of this Greek life is only about 3% of our school body, at a school which constantly complains about the lack of community on our campus. Oh the hypocrisy is endless. Read More »
