I am not affiliated with any Greek organization; I am, however, an alcohol awareness speaker for universities statewide and a UF junior.
In a shocking development, one of UF's Greek chapters has done it again. As Ben Franklin once put it, "In this world nothing is certain but death, taxes and UF Greeks getting into trouble."
The bats living near Lake Alice seemed a little more erratic this week, didn't they? The winds rustling the leaves of trees were a little bit creepier. And the moon is full tonight - don't be surprised if your hairiest friends go missing. Yes, it's that time of year again: Halloween.
While I understand that it is a great accomplishment for a sorority to donate thousands of dollars to breast cancer awareness, this does not cancel out the fact that the Zeta women (or their dates) caused damage to a cultural icon in Tampa.
No one should be surprised at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's report on the recent Tasering of Andrew Meyer at UF.
The fact that Zeta's national office has offered to pay for the damage caused at the Columbia Restaurant does not reflect a "common ideal of responsibility," as stated in Mr. Escribano's letter.
College is all about preparing students for the real world. Through rigorous courses and specific major tracks, students have the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to land a job that will support a decent house, a big family and a couple of dogs.
"Way to embarrass all of UF"? Seriously? Am I really reading this?

Finally, there's peace. The dust has cleared. We're putting the horror and the carnage of war behind us. Seventeen Magazine has called a cease-fire in the war with our body images.
The Independent Florida Alligator should know its own history. The whole reason behind the "independent" in its title is because it could no longer associate itself with the university administration due to its commitment to investigative and unrelenting reporting on controversial issues in the 1960s and '70s.
Ah, the circus is in town.
I'm extremely disappointed with the publicity given to Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority in Wednesday's Alligator.
Way to embarrass all of UF.
I'm starting to notice something here.
You may want to rethink that fabulous Halloween party you were planning - or at least make sure the Facebook invitation states "BYOP" - that's Bring Your Own Pumpkin.
I have spent nearly 16 of the past 24 hours discussing the situation regarding the report and recommendations of the Student Conduct Code Review Committee.
I am writing in response to the DART issued Friday to protesters who didn't show up at the policy forum regarding Andrew Meyer's Tasering.
It's already time to register for classes, and we're all too busy with this semester to care about the next.
Planning on getting wasted in Jacksonville this weekend for the Florida-Georgia football game?
