Before coming to college I had many people tell me that I would make my best friends in college. Whenever I told anyone that I was going to Kansas State University in the fall they would rant and rave about how much fun I would have.

I became really excited to get to Manhattan and have a bunch of great friends. I had some really good high school friends

A Mirage of Benefits from Fraternities and Sororities The first Greek letter organization was founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary. This organization was a fraternity called Phi Beta Kappa and set forth many of the modern norms and traditions of fraternities and sororities.

These games that the Romans enjoyed so much are unmistakably a mirror image of a society in chaos. The Ancient Olympic Games however reflect a more respectful society in harmony.

organized games that athletes competed in. The first Olympics, which took place in 776 B.C., followed very unique and precise procedures, however, they have changed in order to adapt to the 21st Century.

They continued for nearly 12 centuries, until Emperor Theodosius decreed in 393 A.D. that all such "pagan cults" be banned (Olympics Timeline). The Pythian Games, one of the four Panhellenic Games

because I could use my hands and feet. I quickly discovered my theory was flawed; nonetheless, the position intrigued me. Observers assume goalkeepers, stationed in the 5832 square feet of the box protecting the 960 square foot net for a 90 minute game, stand idly awaiting the ball. However, goalkeepers are as skilled with their hands as with their feet, which is imperative when a ball is traveling 67 mph towards the net.
