Greeks deal with stress to show pride

By Brooke Murdock

        NSU’s Homecoming is an exciting time for the campus. It brings out the spirit and heart of the campus. 

  For Greeks, Homecoming brings out spirit, but it also brings stress to the members. Along with homework, studying, and the festivities of Homecoming the Greeks have their hands full. 

  “Homecoming week consumes Greek life because we have to build a float, we go to all the events the Homecoming committee sponsors, and we also sponsor a candidate for the Homecoming Queen or if you are in a fraternity King,” said Megan Edmonds, Inola, junior. “It’s kind of crazy sometimes to do all of that on top of school.”

  Greek’s at NSU have dedication and want to make the best out of the week. They spend hours working on floats and hours participating in the activities. Although they know it brings out stress for them, they still dedicate their time to giving Homecoming week all they have. 

  “It can be stressful, but above all it is rewarding because we get to show our RiverHawk pride and the spirit we as Greeks have,” said Jaime Christensen, Gentry sophomore. “We try to make the best out of being stressed.”
