In the wake of fraternity hazing at West Virginia University, many schools are looking into their own hazing procedures for Greek Life and other campus organizations. At Elon University, the Student Conduct Policy defines hazing as "any activity that would interfere with a person's emotional, intellectual ability to perform academically regardless of their willingness to engage in it." Shana Plasters, Director of Greek Life, says hazing is an honor code violation, but it doesn't just apply to Greek Life. "Hazing's an honor code violation and so that's how we would look at it regardless the student group or the athletic team or whatever might be involved," Plasters said. According to Assistant Director of Greek Life Jordan King, preventing hazing on campus is a challenge. "I think getting through to students that that's not okay and giving them a voice to really be able to communicate that to people," King said.

Like many people our age, I suffer from a little thing called FOMO (otherwise known as the “Fear of Missing Out”). This fear is what drives me to sacrifice sleep to spend time with friends, binge-watch every show someone recommends to me on Netflix and attempt to check out handfuls of books every time I go the library — I want to experience it all. Perhaps it was this fear that drove me to do Semester at Sea in the first place.

Danielle and Chanelle Smith saw “Phoenix” and instantly thought of Arizona. So after meeting volleyball coach Mary Tendler, the twins were convinced she was recruiting them to come play at Elon University in Arizona. “We had to do a little background to find it was in North Carolina,” Danielle Smith said.

In the corner of a dim T-shirt warehouse in Burlington, N.C., surrounded by buckets of colored dye and paint-splattered rotating machines, are rows of broccoli sprouts, barely an inch tall. They lean toward the sliding door in front of them, where, on the other side, a handful of chickens nervously peck at company shop fruits and vegetables that didn’t make it to the register in time. Back inside, Eric Henry, wearing a gray shirt reading “TS Designs,” works on a PowerPoint at his desk.
