I stand my ground as another TCU student in favor of a non-Greek way of life. I have nothing against any particular sorority group, I simply value other organizations and my academics over a forced sense of "sisterhood." I pity the fact that a majority of students at this school view going Greek as the only means to a social life. Greeks may seem prevalent on campus, but in reality, only 40 percent actually pledge. Students have the skewed perception that TCU is mainly Greek, causing certain others to believe that non-Greeks have nothing to do on campus.

I know that, as women, we are described as the fairer sex, but we have come a long way to be accepted in an equal light with our male counterparts. So I was surprised to learn that some women on this campus were against the idea of a female Froggie-Five-O. What can she do for us, some asked. It's like walking with a buddy, or I would rather have a man, said others. Wait! Did we just step back in time? Because the last time I looked it was 2005.

Everyone knows that college isn't just about the classes.Sure, going to class, learning how to do things that you might - or might not - use in the real world in hopes that you might someday be able to earn a living, perhaps even in a field you enjoy, is the primary reason for coming to college. After all, in today's world, a bachelor's degree or higher, is practically a requirement for finding a decent job.

POWs, MIA deserve respect

Every September, military services gather on campus to honor some of our nation's most respected heroes: prisoners of war and those missing in action.These individuals make sacrifices that enable us to have the freedoms that we enjoy every day.

Some POWs have to endure inhumane torture to give up information, whereas others are simply held captive. Sen. John McCain and many others were held under horrible conditions in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" during the Vietnam conflict. However, they did not give in to the pressure of their situations.
