This extra festive atmosphere made me wonder, "Hmm...What's this all about?"

After seeing the procession of all the seniors, I saw the point to this tide of originality.

For so long, women were forced to play a part; a part that stripped them from the right to be an individual and to essentially think for themselves. The mere idea of a woman wanting to learn more than what was expected of her was something very threatening to the male gender. The only question that can arise from this archaic mentality is why? Perhaps it’s because men sensed that women are just as capable of making a change, if not more so, than the average man and the thought of sharing the spotlight with those of an “inferior” nature was utterly unthinkable.

A Connection with Sigma Alpha Epsilon!
The stormy weather which brought a barrage of tornadoes that struck the south in April, hit a chord with me because of the fraternity SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON which was started 155 years ago in TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA. Of all those locations in which tornadoes touched down in the south, Tuscaloosa was one of the most heavily hit. My connection was a blog I posted earlier this week about a son and father - Mark and his dad John – who had each joined this very frat ...

“Matching” Certificates Framed and Preserved
“Years ago when my father passed away, I found his fraternity certificate in his papers.
