OPINION: Greek life: It needs to change

As the sorority events pile up in the spring semester, the buzz of Greek life always dominates conversations of Elon, my own included. While we recognize the issues of Greek life in passing comments or brief conversations, the narrative continues to not only exist, but thrive, that Greek life reflects an intrinsic value about people.

OPINION: Rise Up Elon, let's talk about on-campus sexual assault

In Greek mythology, a Phoenix looks like a harmless bird from afar, but as soon you get closer, you realize the creature is much bigger and more horrifying. Sexual assault has a similar connotation on campus. From afar, you don’t think there is a problem and that it would “never happen to you,” but as you get closer, you realize that the problem is much bigger and already burning in flames.

Usually there’s only one at a time. That Saturday, there were well over 200 — and it was terrifying.
