The Jacqueminot Ball

It has become somewhat of a tradition for Phi Psi to spend their Spring Formal in Culver, Indiana. Culver, made famous by it’s apparently very legit military academy, is a small town on a lake- meaning that our hotel/formal is on a lake. This is...

Mi Cumpleaños

I had the privilege of going to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for my Spring Break. I was extremely excited to go because I had yet to have the typical college student MTv generation Spring Break. My Break, however, was far from typical. I was going to Cabo with...

TANtalizing

I am going to Cabo, Mexico for Spring Break. I am Scotch-English. Together these two things could make a very red, itchy, rashy, sunburned vacation. So about a week ago I sought preventative. That’s right I went the same route many male models,...

All my Single Ladies

Many people would say that your joy on February 14 th directly corresponds to your relationship status. I don’t agree with this, but I kind of do. I am extremely single. I say ‘extremely’ because there are very clear degrees of singularity...

Tips for Formal Recruitment

I am writing this because I wish someone had given me a little advice before I went through recruitment. Take things with a grain of salt- Keep in mind that everyone loves their own house and you should not get caught up in how much they like their house...

HRC how big I am!

It’s true that I love Modern Poetry and the Indianapolis Museum of Art, but that has no effect on my instinct to be meaty. By ‘meaty’ of course, I mean great large in muscle mass and small in personality/feeling. Gettin’ meaty...

Noros are People Too!

In case you are not aware, the Norovirus (Plague) has been taking down Butler’s campus for about a week now. Hundreds of people (Noros) have been infected and because I like to exaggerate and have no loyalty to ‘facts’ I am going to...

Give me a Break

Thanksgiving Break is here. I was very much looking forward to it. Not only because of its definite interruption of the daily grind, but also because I have not yet been home this semester. For Fall Break I went to my room mate’s house. There is a short...

I Never Thought I'd Go Greek

Many people cannot wrap their heads around why anyone would want to join a fraternity. I can’t say I could either. I grew-up beside ‘big’ Greek Life- the large university scary Greek Life that ends up on the news. Because of this when I came to Butler...

Butler's Big Secret

It has long since been rumored that a system of secret, sealed-off, underground tunnels is plunging through Butler’s underground. This rumor is simply a rumor; a true rumor. Yes, Butler does in fact have an underground tunnel system and I, BUJoe, Blogger...

What does the Speech Team actually Do?

I am a proud member of the Butler Speech Team so I was pleased to go to the Bradley /Illinois State University Swing Tournament. A swing tournament is when two schools have two tournaments in the same place. For example we may have one tournament all...
