From Toomer’s Corner to eagle flights to game day chants, Auburn adores its traditions, and as August grows near, the campus waits in anticipation for one of its most beloved: Panhellenic recruitment. In only two short weeks, over 2,000 girls will step onto campus to weather long walks in Auburn heat, loud parties and polished conversations all for the promise of sisterhood and lifelong community. Recruitment can be wonderful, but beyond all the fanfare and perfectly coordinated outfits, this process can be equally stressful.

Many of you, readers, are about to enter into the next four years of your university life. Some of you, perhaps, are long past then and have rich and full stories. And others, like me, are preparing to leave these four years behind.

College has not been easy for me. While I know college is not easy for anyone, I think you’d be surprised by some of the stories I have to tell. I transferred to Auburn in fall 2023 from a smaller school, the University of North Alabama.

Some weeks ago, I was interviewing someone for an article about a big project going on in town. When I asked about the origin of the idea, the organizer told me she had gone through a breakup and she “needed something to care about and work on." It made me think about the methods humans use to cope with pain and rejection.

Auburn’s basketball team recently concluded a brilliant season. For only the second time ever, they advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Now imagine that those in charge of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) funding for AU basketball players and for Coach Pearl’s contract announced that they were freezing some of the funding and initiating deep cuts in the funding going forward. When asked why, their response is that there is waste, fraud, and abuse in Coach Pearl’s contract and in NIL funding for the players. When asked for data to prove this contention, none was given.

When you think about courage, resilience and real leadership, General Jim Livingston portrays all of those qualities. He’s a Medal of Honor recipient and a retired United States Marine Corps Major General. However, before all the medals and military accolades, he was just a young student on Auburn University’s campus, building a foundation that would shape his life and the lives of many others.

Having grown up in Alabama, I can tell you that college football, particularly the SEC, was more than just a pastime. The importance of the SEC could not be overstated; even if your team was having a bad year, loyalty to this brand of football in specific was expected. I remember being taught from an early age that even if our team didn’t win, we were supposed to root for the next SEC school.

If you are anything like me, the first colleges you heard about and saw in the movies were Ivy Leagues. Until about my sophomore year of high school, when I learned how difficult the Ivy Leagues really were, I imagined casually strolling the Brown campus on my way to class. Hopefully, the reality check of going to an Ivy League was a universal experience.

I’m convinced that there was no greater stresser in my college years than the second half of an Auburn football game. Not even Spanish presentations, public speaking or comprehensive final exams ever had me as pressed as the Auburn Tigers.

Bruce Pearl was hired as the Auburn men’s basketball head coach in 2014 after the team’s fifth straight losing season. Returning to the sport after three years away, Pearl found himself in a program accustomed to mediocrity, and worse, in a culture that had long since left basketball on the back-burner.

Auburn University is more than a collection of buildings or rolled oak trees. It’s more than a football school or basketball school or southern college town. To me, Auburn is a feeling — a place where stories unfold, where people feel like family and where I’ve grown as a writer, student and person.

If you’ve caught a taste of Auburn’s special identity, you’ll know it’s as blissful as sipping on the world’s greatest lemonade while you watch long strands of toilet paper flow in
the breeze, hanging from the strong branches of luscious oak trees. I love Auburn University, and my experienc- es here will undoubtedly impact me for the rest of my life.

The United States is commonly referred to as a “melting pot” due to immigrants coming in and blending into the culture. However, the metaphor presents itself as dated, as most immigrants don’t fully assimilate to American culture.

Today, 48 states honor the transformative legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Yet, Alabama and Mississippi will instead celebrate Robert E. Lee, a symbol of the confederacy and its fight to maintain slavery.

When was the last time you paused to appreciate the things you often take for granted like your morning coffee, the roof over your head or the people who brighten your day?

November is Native American Heritage Month, dedicated to remembering and acknowledging Indigenous American history and recognizing past wrongdoings against Indigenous communities. However, these issues should not be minimized as being left to history; they remain pertinent and pressing to Native nations today.

On November 2, buzz swirled about recently retired Eagles center Jason Kelce, who took a fan’s phone and chucked it to the ground just before the Ohio State versus Penn State game in State College, Pennsylvania. His action came after the fan commented on Travis Kelce, Jason’s brother, calling Travis a homophobic slur to Jason’s face. Jason’s reaction sparked questions on whether he was right to act out.
