Do Sports and Greek Life Mix?
Mar 11, 2022
Many people grow up having dreams of playing collegiate sports; later down the line, these same people also learn about joining Greek life, which is very popular amongst first-year college students. Both sports and Greek life offer their own social groups—the opportunity to become a leader, and the chance to develop lifelong skills that can benefit you even after graduation. As someone who is involved in Greek life and sports on campus, I can say that it is possible to have the best of both worlds.
Numerous student-athletes have gone through recruitment for a fraternity or sorority; luckily recruitment isn’t the first week of school, so athletes can get a feel for their practice schedule
to see if they would also want to be a part of Greek life. Of the three fraternities, Kappa Alpha Order has the most members involved in sports varying from soccer and lacrosse to baseball and volleyball, and out of the two sororities, Zeta Tau Alpha has a few more members are involved in athletics compared to Chi Omega.
Since there are so many athletes involved in every Greek organization on campus, it makes it easier for the Greek organizations to schedule events around practice and game schedules. Many student-athletes can be very involved in their Greek organization, Hayden Weber, a member of Kappa Alpha, and Mitchell Lulich, a member of Kappa

Sigma, have both been able to serve as presidents of their fraternities while also being members of different athletics programs at Centenary. A staple of success for being involved in both Greek life and athletics is time management. Not only do you balance athletics and Greek life, but you must also make sure things are going well with your classes.
Student-athletes not only need a certain GPA to be eligible for their season, but every member of a Greek organization must also maintain a certain GPA to continue membership within their respective organizations. To stay eligible to play in the NCAA, athletes . . .
E-Sports: CLG v. 100 Thieves Recap
Mar 11, 2022
The new season for League of Legends eSports is underway, folks! Over the past weekend, Computer Logic Gaming went head-to-head against 100 Thieves. Locked in with a strong offense on both sides, CLG
went with Gnar, Jinx, Viego, Tahm Kench, and Viktor; 100 brought in Tryndamere, Lee Sin, Ahri, Aphelios, and Thresh. Champions locked in, the game began!
The early laning phase was slow, but not without a few close calls. Viktor was brought low by Ahri (an expected outcome—given where he is in the meta at the moment), but no dice for the spirit fox as Viktor managed to stick through and hold out just long enough to snag his first item. This acquisition was pivotal for his performance! However, Viktor's lack of mobility left the dragon wide open to Lee Sin, who took it early in the match.
Meanwhile, in Bot Lane, Jinx and Tahm Kench struggled behind their turret, allowing Lee Sin to come from behind and secure the kill—granting his team first blood. At this point, CLG's Bottom Lane was utterly wiped by 100, but not without suffering a casualty of their own, for Thresh went down to Jinx seconds before she was eliminated as well. This loss left Tahm Kench very low on health to fend for himself; things were tense, but a clutch shield at the very last second allowed him to survive. Here Viego rushed in and took out . . .
