Most everyone at TCU remembers learning about Froggie Five-0 while touring campus. Moms nodded in approval as a guide explained how the service would keep their daughters safe when walking across campus at night. The boys grumbled in the back as they were told that the service is only available to female students but that they are welcome to apply to be drivers.

Somewhere along the lines, that translated into: "Only girls can use Froggie, and only boys can be drivers."

To set the record straight, anyone can drive for Froggie, but only female students can ride.

Most students look forward to spring break as a time to relax at home or hit the beach. But this year, some TCU students chose to spend their week off giving back, either locally in Fort Worth or out of the country.

He said he heard the fear in their voices and violence in the background in daily Skype video chats with his family.

"You just hear helicopters going everywhere and shooting going everywhere," he said. "So all I hear is that they're scared and I just try to stay on Skype with them as much as possible."

Facebook truly embodies the meaning of the word "frenemy."

Although Facebook is meant to help us "stay connected," researchers from Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland concluded in a recent study that the more friends a user has, the more social anxiety that person experiences, according to a Feb. 21 article from the Dallas Business Journal.

It turns out, Froggie Five-0 has a feminine side.

Jill Pollock, a junior psychology major, is one of four female drivers for the student escort service and disproves the belief that women cannot work for Froggie Five-0.

"That's everybody's first assumption 8212; that Froggie is all boys, and I'm like, "Well, hello. I work for Froggie,'" Pollock said.

Students often expressed their concern about females driving for Froggie Five-0, she said.
