8 CRAIGSLISTDO’S AND

DON’TS

Decorate for cheap—without gettingmurdered!

DO Stick it to the man (i.e. Ikea) andsnag a secondhand sofa on thecheap. Cheers to not dealing wi

bullshit Swedish directions!

DON’TWhen it comes to some things,you just shouldn’t opt for “used.”Don’t buy that mattress unlessyou can perform a Room Raiders-

esque black light test first to avoidunwanted bodily fluids on yo’furniture, ya feel us?

DO Need a roommate? There areplenty of other shockingly norm

people on the site looking forsomeone to split rent with too!We suggest you…uhh…actuallymeet them first, though. (Maybe

at Starbucks? Everyone becomefriends over Frappuccinos! )

DON’TNeed some action? Sorry, we

don’t condone Craigslist unlessyou also want to get Chlamydiaor killed.

DO Selling your old, outdated décois a great way to make a littleextra cash. After all, what’re

you really going to do with thatinflatable armchair from 1999?

DON’TOvercharging when selling yourold stuff is a total don’t. Go by thirule: If it’s furniture you inflate, itain’t worth more than eight. (Or

something like that.)

DOGo old school and utilize the buddsystem on your pick-up trips forsafety…and so you have someone help you carry that coffee table.

DON’TNever venture alone into anunknown apartment—no matterhow fabulous that $5 futon is.

MORGAN ODOM:CHAPTER LIFEVICE PRESIDENT,ALPHA XI DELTA

What are your contributions to

your sorority?In 2013 I was o ered the position of

Chapter Life Vice President, which is

my current position for the Beta Alpha

chapter. My job as Chapter Life includes

planning all of our date events and sister-

hood events, but—on a more serious note—I also side as our

risk management person.

How are you influential within your campus’s

Greek community?

Being as involved as I have been in Alpha Xi Delta has o ered

me a plethora of opportunities in Greek Life as a whole at

UT. As the coordinator of all of our date events, I get to planevents that my sisters choose who to bring to. I may be a little

partial to my own awesome date events, but I would denitely

say fratties want to attend them. I know I get asked to my own

date events so guys can guarantee their spot at our formal or

our infamous Crush.

What would members of your sorority say

about you?

If you ask the girls I have not only been so lucky to call my

sisters, but also my best friends, they will tell you I’m the crazy

girl that will wake them up in the middle of the night to ask

if they want to go to San Antonio just to get away from thestress of school. But regardless, I think they will unanimously

agree that I am probably one of the [people] most dedicated

and passionate about bettering not only our chapter, but Al-

pha Xi Delta nationally.

What advice would you give girls going through

rush?

BE YOURSELF. Every girl is nervous, but ultimately every-

one is placed in a sorority that they will t right in to! So

wear comfortable shoes, stay hydrated, and enjoy recruitment,

because in the end, the sisterhood will all be worth it!

mittee of the University Panhellenic Coun-

What would you say is your

greatest accomplishment?

Planning and organizing the events that

raised $109,300 last year that will go to St.

every dollar can help cure patients and lead

them one step closer to happiness.

chapter this year?

Our plans are to be in the top ve fundrais-

ing chapters in the nation and to plan more

exciting events that promote philanthropy

and sisterhood!

What’s your favorite part of being

in a sorority?

My favorite part of being is a sorority is the

unique friendships and experiences you share.

Essentially, it is my family away from home.

service events on campus. is past school

year the Mu Rho chapter, which was char-

tered at UT in 1980, was recognized as the

Best Black Greek Male Organization by the

the amount of members.

What would you say is your

greatest accomplishment?

ROSHAN SHARMA:Secretary, Alpha Tau OmegaWhat are your contributions toour fraternity?

Other than serving as Pledge Class Presi-

ent, I was able to serve as Secretary for two

ears and create two philanthropic events for

ur chapter. One day while studying at a cof-

e shop, a woman next to me noticed I was

udying for medical school and we got to

lking. Her 5-year-old son, Cash, has a rare

isease called Galactosemia, and because this

such a rare disease, there is no cure. I imme-

iately wanted to help and decided to throw

bene

t concert in Cash’s name.

e event,oncert for Cash, would raise money to help

und research to nd a cure for Galactosemia.

With the help of my chapter, I booked a ven-

e, contracted ve bands, and made t-shirts. In

ur rst year we were able to raise over $3,000.

e second event I created for our chapter was

alled ATO World Cup. Both of these events

ontinue to be annual events.

How are you influential within yourcampus’s Greek community?

Joining ATO, I became heavily involved

in not only my fraternity, but all aspects of

Texas Tech. I served as a Senator for Student

Government, an Ambassador for the Rawls

College of Business, a Chancellor’s Ambas-

sador, and was selected into Mortarboard,

which honors the top 50 seniors at Texas

Tech University. Being a leader in these other

organizations has given me the opportunity

to step up for the Greek community.


chapter this year?

While our chapter currently sits somewhere

above 120 members, one of our main goals

every year is to recruit a solid pledge class in

the fall. Another top priority is Gatorfest, a

benet concert held in the streets of Lub-

bock that raises money for the Susan G. Ko-

men Foundation. In only three years, we have

raised over $30,000 for this foundation.

MICKEY BARTON:President, Zeta Tau AlphaWhat are your contributions to

your sorority?

I have served as Alumnae/Collegiate Rela-

tions Chairman, Ritual Chairman, and now

am lucky enough to be President. I have

learned so much from these experiences. Allmy sisters are such blessings.


campus’s Greek community?

Being president, I get to meet a lot of people

in the Greek community, and have a strong

relationship with advisors of both my own

sorority and the Panhellenic advisor. I also

am part of Order of Omega, and have as-

sisted with Greek Week and many other

activities they plan, which helps you meet

successful and driven members of the otherGreek groups, both men and women.

What would members of your

sorority say about you?

ey would say I am a good leader because

of my respect for them and others as well.

I respect them, and in turn, I have ea

respect over the years. I also know how

have a good time with all of them in a

sponsible way. I am a good communic

as well, which helps people understand

most inuential decisions. Sororities stru with change, and we have gone through

of it recently. I hope they would say it

been a little easier to get used to becaus

my leadership.


chapter this year?

My plans for the sorority this year are,

and foremost, to work hard and recruit

best girls coming to Texas State this

We are growing so much as a university,

these new members are going to make huge portion of us. After this, I want to

all the girls in a direction of personal suc

I want every individual member to striv

be a better person in all areas of life.

PERLA MOLINA:Fundraising Chair, Zeta Tau AlphaWhat are your contributions toour sorority?

As a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, I am highly

nvolved in all the di erent activities that we

o. One of the major roles I play in my so-

ority is raising awareness for breast cancer.

Coming from a family that has had many

women pass because of breast cancer, I am

ighly motivated to raise awareness and

make a di erence in the lives [of] many

oung women and men.

What would members of yourorority say about you?

One of the things I know they would say is

hat I am a loyal sister. In every situation and

osition that I am in, I make it a point to

reat others how I would like to be treated.

ey would also say that I love to be the cen-

er of attention and LOVE to make people

augh. e person the probably nds me the

unniest is myself. Ha!

What would you say is yourgreatest accomplishment?

I would have to say it is the simple fact of

who I am today. Not only graduating in 3

years with a 4.0, but also managing a full-

time job and a sorority while keeping a social

life as well as a family life. at would have

to be one of my greatest accomplishments.


chapter this year?

My plans for Zeta for the school year 2013-

2014 would be to raise money for our philan-thropy, breast cancer education and aware-

ness. And to make our pink-out events even

bigger and let the community know that they

can make a di erence in nding a cure!

What comes to mind when you

think of rush?

An OVERWHELMING feeling of joy! I

have the honor to meet many amazing girls

while bonding with my sisters and making

memories that will last a lifetime.
