So students at the University of Wyoming showed up to a Board of Trustees public comment session to talk about Greek life. Not just to talk about it - to advocate for it, push back on it, and air out grievances in front of the people who actually hold the budget strings. And honestly? Good. That's exactly how this is supposed to work.

Sorority life has not always been Lululemon and bid day YouTube videos. Take a trip back in time through this photo gallery that includes photos of sorority chapters from each decade since 1880. It's fascinating to see how not only how fashion changed throughout the decades, but also the changes of the poses and general mood of the photos. Apparently, the first time a sorority girl smiled in a photo was in ...

You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college.

Picking a major inside Greek life isn't just about what you're passionate about. It's about what you can actually sustain when your chapter has a full social calendar and expects you to show up for all of it.

When news breaks about a fraternity member dying, the first thing most people do is scroll past it, chalk it up to "Greek life being Greek life," and move on. I'm not doing that this time.

It deserves more than that.
