Going Greek

Revenge of the Nerds, Animal House, and Old School are three great movies. What do all these movies have in common, aside from describing what the AU campus is like; all three movies focus around Greek life on campus.

As mentioned before these movies actually have no similarities to Aurora University. If you walk around our quant little campus you will notice there are no fraternity/sorority houses on campus. Don’t become discouraged so quickly, there are fraternities and sororities you could join. I would guess that the initiation process doesn’t consist of the binge drinking, the hazing from older members, and the other random acts that are required for you to prove yourself worthy. But hey, the good thing is after whatever exhausting tasks you are asked to perform you can relax at the frat/sororities meeting place. Which depending on what rooms are being used on campus could possibly be the McDonalds down the road, no doubt you be loving it.

It is all AU’s fault however, like most private school a lot of the money they need to help improve the campus comes a lot from donations. When your top donator decides he is going to give the school an insane amount of money, if they do not allow any Greek life housing on campus; how could the school say no? Let’s face it, it’s not like they also requested that all the buildings on campus have red roofs…..

A valuable lesson can be learned from all this, to take your degree form AU and become as successful as possible, then donate it to the school and make your mark on campus. Who knows? Everyone says skies the limit, maybe one day student will attend Alfano University.
