As someone who is new to the world of media professionals, I still have a lot to learn. However, I have learned a lot of important lessons from both good and bad experiences that I have had in the last year. Media professionals, whether photographers, reporters, columnists, videographers, editors or the like, all work very hard to produce the ... [Read More…]
Creating community between social clubs
Social clubs are not doing enough to cultivate community among each other. I can only speak for women’s clubs, but one of the biggest things women say when looking for a club to pledge is they want to find community. I want to say to current pledges and those considering pledging, that you can find and create community in any club. It doesn’t have ... [Read More…]
Social clubs go way back in history
Homecoming is such a beautiful time for ACU. Alumni come from every state to come back to their alma mater, the home of special memories and great friendships. Even the celebrations of multiple class reunions from their 15th, 25th and 50th that take place. One of the most anticipated events of homecoming that many look forward to is the ... [Read More…]
Why pledging is becoming too soft
Pledging at Abilene Christian University is about a third of the way done and there are two things that have come to mind: First, pledging is being critically diminished by those who control what clubs can do and secondly, more and more pledges are pledging with false expectations. Hazing and pledging laws are important to the well-being of ... [Read More…]

Problems with the NCAA targeting rule
We all know football is a dangerous sport. I even thought that when I was playing growing up, until I stopped playing in high school. I’ve seen my fair share of big hits which in my opinion is all apart of the game. You’re always taught to keep your head on a swivel, but recently we’ve seen the “targeting rule” get tweaked season after season in ... [Read More…]
Time to reevaluate mandatory student attendance
They don’t make college easy. If you’re reading this, you probably already know that. I believe I am doing well to keep on top of my school work and maintain a good GPA, but why do attendance requirements have an affect on how well I do in my classes? On average, college students take 15 hours of classes and work at least one job. If they aren’t ... [Read More…]
On-campus residence halls need renovation
As a high school senior, you take several things into consideration when you are finalizing your decision about what university you want to attend. You go over the list of majors offered by the university, check out the cafeteria to make sure that it is up to par and probably the most important thing is to check out the dormitories. Incoming ...

Here’s a thought: both political parties stink
American citizens (a significant portion of them being college students) are becoming increasingly hypocritical when it comes to political standings. Since Barack Obama’s second election to office, the thrift between red and blue peaked once again. Conflict between Republicans and Democrats is not a new concept, but anger rose again by the 2012 ... [Read More…]
Mental health is something to care about
Two recent students are gone too soon by their own hand. Both of these gentlemen were talented, driven, passionate and loved by so many. They left their imprint on ACU in many positive ways. However, they were also quietly suffering and felt that taking their life was the best way to end it. For those of you who are not aware, the month of ... [Read More…]
