Summary: In “Examining the Benefits of Greek Life.” Nicole Glass explains why she believes that Greek life is a great opportunity for students in public universities. Nicole gives multiple examples of famous people in history that were in sororities.

The author points out that the sororities/

The Greek people had many things they were proud of for evolving as their era began to pick up steam. The things they were well known for were their religious beliefs and their philosophies. Though both were pivotal for the Greek people, these two areas were very different. Greek Religion To the Greeks, religion, was a major part of their private and public life every day. Greek religion was big on public rituals, community festivals, showed great community pride, and was big on their heritage.

Those outside of Greek Life may not be aware that our sororities and fraternities on campus are run like businesses. As an Alumna of a former sorority, I have an actual inside look on how organizations like mine are run. Unfortunately, sororities and fraternities are stereotyped as these groups of partiers that have no respect for anyone that is not a part of their organization. Although there are some bad apples that have ruined the outlook on Greek Life, many outsiders do not realize how high our

ultimate god to the Greeks, and was worshiped by all. He was one of the three major gods, all of whom appeared in day to day life. Along with his brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and children he ruled all aspects of Greek life. Poseidon was one of the gods with the most children, so in some ways, he had more influence outside of his domain than other gods. However, despite his sheer awesomeness, Poseidon had a horrible temper. Poseidon’s stories and image have affected life for hundreds upon hundreds

Nowadays, we live different lives compared to the Greeks. We have different problems that affect us in our day to day routines. We value different things. We wouldn’t value Hercules’ traits because we have a different way of dealing with conflicts than the Greeks did. If Hercules were alive today, we wouldn’t value his trait of redemption, or revenge, because he would be a very unstable person. He would be unstable because he tried to get revenge, or redeem himself, a lot. An example of this is when

Greek life is something that has always stuck out to me. I have family and friends that have pledged. Although all of them did not pledge the same thing, they all have a profound love for their organization. As I got older, I started thinking about pledging on a more serious level, especially when I came to college. Alpha Kappa Alpha always appeared to be incomparable when it came to other sororities. The standards, values, morals and how these women carried themselves is all the more reasoning

V. 4 Verse four says, “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men” (John 1:4). This tells people that in Jesus is Life. Now, there are three Greek words for life that John could have used in this verse: bios, psyche, and zoe (bios; psyche; zoe, New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology). Bios is the root that we get biology from. It speaks of in the present time, the duration of life (bios, New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology). Psyche indicates two things.

Greek Life, also know as Sorority and Fraternity Life, is perceived to have a bad reputation. Sororities and Fraternities are often judged by the stereotypes that many people perceive from movies and television shows. They are usually portrayed as rich, snobby kids who only care about partying. Some people even go as far to say that its just paying for your friends. Many think Sororities and Fraternities should be banned from colleges because they believe it encourages hazing, discrimination, and

Greece. A place where history was born and beauty that would mesmerize any man or woman. Athens, the capital that continuously glistens with ancient Greek pillars telling our tales of the foremost gods. Taking the noble throne was a king loved by his people- an affectionate man who people felt up most respect to at any given moment. The kingdom was the homeland to some of the world's most esteemed farmers and scientists, under the reign by King Hephaestus. War was thought to be of a disgrace to their

Greek’s Influence on the Roman Way of Life It is no secret that the Greeks have made a huge impact on how the Romans lived their life. The Romans very much admired the way the Greeks did life, and did a fine job of adapting it. “Rome showed an extraordinary talent for adopting and adapting the best of other cultures: Etruscan and Greek” (Fiero 165). Time after time, we see that the past cultures have effect on future cultures and the way of living. The past cultures is sort of like a trial and error
