Bruce Lee meets Brady Hoke

“One does not accumulate but eliminate. It is not daily increase but daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.”- Bruce Lee In a world full of clutter, shiny objects, and excess, isn’t it refreshing to hear that simplicity still has a place?  The question I have for you today is this:  “Is [...]

I have a dream…

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t have a plan, he had a dream. He had a vision. MLK probably had no idea how the change he was advocating would take place, he just knew what he wanted. The thing is Martin Luther King Jr. did not need a plan. Why? Because he knew how [...]

Wikileaks is coming after your Alpha

It’s 4:31am. I’ve recently been awakened by some noisy, over-served coeds outside my host Brother’s apartment in Raleigh. I sleepily scan the room to try to remember where I am (this happens frequently).  Three lights capture my attention: the red glow of the surge protector, the piercing neon green of the digits on the cable [...]

We just want to pump [clap, point] you up!

by Brad Beskin Since the turn of the calendar year, I have had a very difficult time finding a parking spot at the gym.  Now, I’m not the walking paradox that needs a front door parking spot before my hour of cardio…but it’s cold outside.  My assumption, based on who I see in the gym once [...]

Step away from the Chunky Monkey

Recognizing a Chi Psi Hero

Since 1841, Chi Psis have made their mark on our nation’s history.  And while the experiences and influences of our many nationally-recognizable Brothers vary, we are always proud when one of us makes a difference for others.  The time has come for us to recognize one of these Brothers…a national hero who took a stand in [...]

Why Don’t My Brothers Stay Active?

At the CO we just finished working with our Alphas on roster adjustments. During the process it got me thinking, or as the #23 Sam Bessey would say “it got that little redneck hamster turning the wheel in my head.” So as the hamster was working hard and just a turnin’ that wheel, I thought [...]

Lessons to Learn from Russell Wilson

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! College Football is back and there were a lot of great games this past weekend (if you missed anything this past weekend check out ESPN’s College Football Weekend review).

Can your Alpha replace its Steve Jobs?

-Teri Forsythe, Development and Communications Coordinator As someone who studied advertising and public relations in school, I have long admired Apple and the innovation they bring to not only their products but the way they market those products. Like many other Apple admirers, I was shocked to hear that Steve Jobs, the fearless leader responsible [...]
