The Treatise of The Greeks

We keep on rolling, The Black Community, and we find ourselves in the midst of NPHC Week. Hundreds of potential hopefuls will attend all the events, convinced that they will be making a good showing to some organization, only to be slapped in the face with the unexpected: There is no Greek reward for attending the events! You’d be better off playing hide and go seek with interest meeting flyers around campus. One event, however, intrigues us “True Life I’m Greek: The Miseducation of Black Greekdom & This Title’s Too Long” Hosted by Lauryn Hill. We predict a heated debate, full of high emotions and weave throwing. Here’s our take on the event to come.

Salute Your Shones

It’s been a crazy 3-day weekend, The Black Community. We hope everyone had a great time making terrible alcohol-fueled decisions and clogging their arteries with Publix Fried Chicken. Arguably the best Fried Chicken in the world. THE WORLD. No Kanye West. We’re right at the start of the Football season, and that means a side hustle by selling tickets, and getting five shades darker in The Swamp as a drunk Chad and Lacey scream in our ears. As we come into the Football season we take a moment to give recognition to some of the real heroines of the era, the Football Shones.

Chuch!

Welcome back, The Black Community. It’s been two weeks into the semester, and everyone is settling back into the swing of things. Today we look at a topic near and dear to The Black Community, Chuch! It's the event we see flood social networking sites every Sunday, that one element that we all take and mold to our will, and unfortunately, the one object that is used so improperly, that the only response is a good strong SMH.

Back At It: #FirstDaySightings

UF Back. UF Back. Welcome to another school year, The Black Community. We come back from a wholly entertaining and eventful summer, to a rather tame first day of the Fall Semester. Could this be a sign of things to come? Regardless, the first day of class is a great day to watch and predict the outcome of the semester, as well as get a feel for the people we'll be crammed into STATUS with. Let's take a look at what happened on the first day back.

TSID's Ultimate Back to School Guide

We’re two days away from the start of the Fall Semester, The Black Community, and now is that time to get back in the school mode. Everyone is out making their final preparations for REAL school to start again (Summer doesn't count), by consuming copious amounts of alcohol, making terrible decisions, and spending late nights with ISIS, constantly spamming the refresh button until "History of Jazz" opens up. That class is crucial. Kinda. As the semester approaches, we return from sitting on the couch all day during Summer Break to impart some imperative tips to ensure adequate preparation for the upcoming school year. We present "The Set Is Dead's Ultimate Back to School Guide". In four paragraphs, mind you.

Gainesville Sickness?

Summer B is over, The Black Community, and we have 2 weeks to ourselves until the Fall semester comes and we actually have to start learning again. All over Facebook and Twitter there are status updates about “I’m so ready to leave stupid Gainesville”, followed by “I’m bored”, all within 24 hours (LOL). It seems as soon as you get home and realize your hometown is deserted, we're all yearning to be back in Gainesville again. We’ve said it before; Gainesville has a gravitational pull. Hell some of us can’t even make it out of Gainesville in the first place.

Moving Days

It’s move-out week, The Black Community. That time of the semester where you clear out your apartment that you’ve been living in for 4 (Maybe 5 or 6) years, and put all your cherished memories into cardboard boxes. Damn. It’s time to kick out that creepy person who subleased your room and did all sort of unspeakable stuff in your apartment while you were away. All of The Black Community is packing their bags, ready to move in to Campus Lodge next semester (LOL). If you haven’t yet picked your living situation for the fall (you’re slacking), we’ve complied a list of potential options and what to expect from each one.
