This also means I am one of two girls in the entire house. Having a two to five ratio of girls to boys the house gets a little hectic, and when I say gets a…

David Sedaris has a superb piece by showing the story’s point, the overall mood and tone, and how the story has a lasting effect. Sedaris’s point of this story…

Although we are technically considered adults when we turn 18, most of us begin to transition to adulthood much sooner. For me that transition has come through challenges, challenges that have forced me to be independent and responsible for myself, and my little sister. I can easily say that my little sister Kylie and I have had our love hate relationship from the start. Kylie has always been the biggest pain in my butt. She has always been a follower and the person she follows the most happens…

In 447BCE, Pericles began the project he is most famous for: the building program on the Acropolis. The program's chief aim was to restore various Athenian temples and build more temples and other great buildings to glorify Athens. Furthermore, it offered Athenians the chance to display their imperial might through their architectural achievements. In 447/6 BC, work was begun on building the Parthenon.

Why are you applying for this position? I think the new member education program is essential for the transitioning new sister in determining if Delta Zeta is the right fit for her. If the process goes the way it is supposed to, it will make the young women excited to wake up and call herself a sister in our chapter. For myself, it’s crucial to be a part of changes that influenced yourself in some way. For just going through the process myself, I think the program was great; however, I want to…
