Love in the time of Facebook

By Rachel Skybetter · Friday, May 23,2008 8:53 p.m.

I remember my first introduction to the notion of Internet flirting. I was in sixth grade, and I was innocently perusing a Hanson chat room when I was singled out: “Hey GoalGirl42, A/S/L?” (Age/Sex/Location, for those of you not fluent in chat pick-up lines). I don’t remember my response, but it was probably an exaggeration. “A/S/L?” has since given way to AIM, Xanga, MySpace and obviously, Facebook. We are both the leaders and victims of the Internet generation – and what may be the end of romance entirely.

Going greek: Is it right for me?

By Sara Amato · Friday, May 23,2008 8:47 p.m.

And although I’m not sure why students devote so much of their time worrying about rush and other aspects of greek life, I do know that thinking about going greek is not an option that should be taken lightly.

Looking past the ‘best four years’

By Michael Reschke · Friday, May 23,2008 8:10 p.m.

I’m supposed to share the things I’ve learned in college with the incoming freshman class in this column. I’m not going to tell you college is going to be the best four years of your life because I don’t believe that. If that was true what would be the point in living after college?
