Of the 1,840,000 Bachelor's degrees earned in the U.S. between 2012-2013, the majority were in the business field, according to … [Read more...] about Whats the rush to be in school?

There are over 150 variety of clubs and organizations to choose from here on campus, something to suit everyone. There are many benefits that come with joining a sorority like Alpha Delta Pi, for example, or fraternity like Sigma Nu, such as expanding your social life, attending parties, living in campus housing or gaining post college networking connections. I use to think of those in the Greek life as party animals or troublemakers, but not anymore. "I wanted to join for the … [Read more...] about Get college students to the Greek
