Rainy rush!

Everyone has a house

By Gaia Zol on January 17, 2013

There are just two reasons why girls scream: excitement and anger. When girls are angry, they can scream untill they lose their voice, while when they are excited, they can scream until they start speaking in falsetto. This past Sunday, Jan. 13, the girls were so excited that on Monday, all of them talked in [...]

Rush, rush, rush

By Lauren Schultz on January 16, 2013

Joining Greek life is great way to get involved and meet people on any college campus. This past week was the biggest event for Hanover’s Panhellenic community: formal recruitment. During this time, each of the four sororities opens their homes to unaffiliated women and recruits new members for their organization. Last year, as a freshman, [...]

The gift I finally got!!

Finals and my final post of the semester!

By Twisha Balasubramanian on December 10, 2012

It’s about that time of the semester. I’ve survived Dead Week, mainly because I only had classes and no presentations or tests to make up. Although, I’m pretty sure everyone else had at least one presentation or a test this week. My Dead Week officially starts after this weekend or rather this weekend itself, so [...]

Tandem-ing

By Lauren Schultz on December 4, 2012

Bum, bum, bummmmmm (Cue ominous music here)! Dead Week has officially arrived on Hanover’s campus. Students are scurrying from class to the library, their backpacks laden with books and laptops. Most students, like myself, are just glad Monday, Dec. 3 is complete! Most of my big exams and projects are now out of the way; [...]

Semi-formal, pre-Dead Week and my first all-American Thanksgiving!

Semi-formal, pre-Dead Week and my first all-American Thanksgiving!

By Twisha Balasubramanian on December 3, 2012

I know you’ve been hearing loads about Dead Week, which starts today, and that dreadful finals week! But I’m going to lighten up the mood a little. My sorority just had its semi-formal this past weekend, and what other way to relieve some stress than to dress up classy and have a good time with [...]

This is what a lot of students' lives feel like during dead week.

Pre-Dead Week

By Dakota McCoy on November 30, 2012

Dead Week is a common topic for students this time of year, and with only a few days left until that fateful week dawns, the stress is setting in for a lot of people. Dead Week, which is the week before finals week, is usually mistaken by freshmen to be a week where nothing happens. [...]

Hello there Han Han (my version of Hanover), I’m back with stories to tell!

Hello there Han Han (my version of Hanover), I’m back with stories to tell!

By Twisha Balasubramanian on November 16, 2012

So, I know I’ve been off the blogging circuit way too much this semester. Sorry guys, sickness has gotten me good this year! This post will mainly entail some of the stuff that has happened over these four to five weeks and what is happening, yep the good, and the bad, maybe even the ugly. [...]

This is the badge that I hope to be wearing after this week.

I-Week!

By Dakota McCoy on November 16, 2012

I write this from the basement of the Sigma Chi house on campus, in the midst of my I-Week. For the last nine weeks, I have been a  Sigma Chi pledge, but in only a handful of days I may be lucky enough to be a Sigma Chi for the rest of my life. The [...]

Stepping it up at Hanover College

By Ashley Malloy on November 5, 2012

One of my favorite movies has to be “Step Up.” Not only do I love the main character in the movie, Channing Tatum, but also the dancing that takes place throughout the movie. When I had the opportunity to experience the step show hosted by our own Hanover team, I did not hesitate to attend.  [...]

Greek life isn’t necessarily what you think

By Rudy Uhde on October 19, 2012

Greek life isn’t for everyone. Some people want to be a part of a fraternity or sorority and others don’t. I assumed Greek life wasn’t for me and was completely against it my freshman year. I thought it meant associating yourself with only one group of friends, wild parties and being a tad bit stuck [...]
