Small Liberal Arts Colleges

Hello All:

I'm dedicating this blog to something that is very important to me: service. I am so fortunate and grateful that DePauw University, a small liberal arts college, also believes in giving back. Of all the colleges and universities of Indiana, I am certain that DePauw University is the only liberal arts school with a Winter Term option, let alone all of the options we have.

We must complete 3 out of 4 winter terms and the options range from internships, interesting on-campus classes, independent study projects or a diverse group of faculty led trips. My sophomore year I went to Spain for one month with two DePauw University professors and a group of students. This past winter term, I tried doing a service trip versus a more education or tourist themed trip.

25 students and I, along with 2 professors and a doctor went to El Salvador to work in a small coffee co-op in the mountains. The co-op is run by ex-guerrilla soldiers who fought during the Salvadorean civil war. We lived with individual families and worked along side the people. We also hosted 3 separate medical brigades, underwent a cultural restoration project, built and set up an internet cafe, taught English classes as well as computer classes. . . all within one month.

CoCoDa, the organization that we went through, was founded by 2 DePauw University graduates and it is based out of Indianapolis, Indiana. It was a very fulfilling experience and through this opportunity, I am that much more sure that a life dedicated to service, foreign travel in Latin America and teaching are all in my immediate future. This small liberal arts college transcends state and country boundaries, and that is why I love my university.




Until next time, future tigers! Servicio en las Americas application deadline just passed! And this weekend is for programs of distinction! It's getting close to decision time and I'm excited to meet all of you! Good luck!

Peace&Love

Saturday was State Day. State Day is where all the chapters of the Sigma Chi Fraternity in Indiana come together in Indianapolis for a day of leadership building and celebration. In total there are eight Sigma Chi chapters in Indiana. The day starts with a basket ball tournament in the morning. Our chapter, named Xi Chapter, got third place overall, not quite as well as we would have liked to perform Next, the majority of the day is spent in leadership workshops for the pledges of each chapter and each chapters' executive board. Alumni members as well as people from the international headquarters come to facilitate the various workshops.

At night is a big banquet and celebration. It is held at a banquet facility in Broad Ripple (part of Indianapolis). At the banquet many awards are presented. We won the philanthropic award for most outstanding philanthropy efforts for last year. In addition, our past president won the Balfour award which is the highest honor our fraternity bestows on an undergraduate member. It recognizes undergraduate members for academic performance, community service an leadership both in and out of the Fraternity.

This past weekend I also started studying for the comprehensive economics exam that all econ majors have to pass in order to graduate with a degree in economics. The test is not until March 17 but it cover a lot of material I have not studied since Sophomore year. I am going to try and study a while every few days. This test feels like the last big academic hurdle in my collegiate career.

Today has been super busy!  We discussed some works of a couple of Argentinian writers in Hispanic Lit today.  In about an hour is the pit orchestra rehearsal for the opera that will be performed next week-- The Marriage of Figaro.  Tomorrow is our first rehearsal with the cast.  I'm excited to hear/see the production.  Working with vocalists is always an adventure.  The nice thing about small liberal arts colleges like DePauw, is there are no graduate students.  That means that just about everyone who wants to perform has the oportunity.



After rehearsal this evening I'm attending a panel discussion about love.  Some of the questions that are going to be asked are: Has the word "love" lost its meaning because of overuse and misuse? When people say they love someone can that love be real? Can it be pure and untainted by passions or lust? If love is to be completely unselfish or not self seeking, is it possible for humans, who are naturally concerned about their own well being, truly love someone?


I'm looking forward to what other students have to say on the topic, because these days we use "love" as an adjective for just about everything, from a particularily delicious meal to significant others. 











After that I'm going to a recital.  The famous cellist Lazlo Varga will be performing.  He was principal cellist with the New York Philharmonic for 12 years and now tours all over the world.  He's going to be playing on a five-string cello, which is quite unusual because cellos usually only have four strings.







Clearly, with so many events available to students, DePauw is one of the best liberal arts colleges out of all of the Indiana colleges and universities!

So, it's Monday. Wait, no. It's Tuesday. That really just happened. Time is flying! It's hard to wrap my mind around it. These past three years have literally flown by. Apparently the week has also flown by. I remember filling out the application for DePauw as a senior in high school trying to decide between a liberal arts college or a huge university. I obviously chose the private liberal arts college because it fit me better.

This is me as a senior in high school and there's a pic of me as a junior: I'm now 2 full semesters from graduating! I am most amazed by all opportunities that I've had at DePauw, a small liberal arts college with so much to offer its students. For example, I went on the servivio en las americas trip to Ecuador my freshman year, and almost 3 years later I am leading the trip to a brand new location this summer. Only at a small liberal arts school do professors form these types of bonds with students and present them with opportunities such as this one. It's just nice to feel appreciated on such a bright and bustling college campus. We have really close relationships withour professors, faculty and staff. They seem like they really care and the results are evident with retention rates. Kind and thoughtful professors only add to the top 50 liberal arts college status that DePauw is a part of.














I suppose that is all for now. I will be updating you future tigers on the servicio en las americas trip as well as the status of my study abroad application. In the mean time, good luck and I hope to meet many new future tigers at the spring open house!

Until next time: peace&love,

Second Semester is officially underway! How do I know this?? Because I have been doing homework all day (Sunday)!!

It took awhile to feel like school had started because during the first week back from Winter Term I participated in Rush for my sorority Alpha Phi. 
               DePauw has a large Greek community, which I see as a very big plus for the school!!! The Greek Life at DePauw is not exclusive or about partying, but it is a way to bring together amazing people to live together and be even more amazing together! For example, Alpha Phi raises money for the American Heart Association and does many philanthropy events throughout the year. Greek Life is also just a way to bond with a group of girls or guys and form a big support system at school. 
          If students are not interested in the Greek system, there are soooo many other living situations and groups to get involved in, so Greek life does not dominate at DePauw, but it is just an added bonus! 

Rush for girls is 3 rounds, and last Sunday was our Bid Day. Bid Day is when our new class of girls find out that they were asked to join Alpha Phi. Current members (me) all dress up CRAZY and stand outside and wait for the new members to run over. I have a picture of Bid Day and a picture of the beautiful new Alpha Phi pledge class.

Now that Rush is over, I have been able to start focusing on my classes. This is my last semester (CRAZY) so I do not have a horrible class load, I wanted to be able to enjoy my last semester and to have time for Track and for looking for jobs. I am taking Media Law and State and Local Government with two of my favorite professors! That is what is so nice about going to a small liberal arts schools - you get to know your professors are a personal level!
I am also taking Intro to Religions, which should be really different than anything I have taken.

I will keep you updated.
Back to homework, and I like to get to bed early on Sundays!

Cheerio! Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm sitting here in the warm library of my snow-covered liberal arts college thinking about the long months ahead of me. Second semester is in full-swing, and syllabus week is over. Tear.

It's so funny because I have this 2 week period every semester where I feel stuck and cannot remember how I survived the previous semester. How did I manage to get all of my homework done on time, study for exams, take great notes, participate in extracurricular activities, go to the gym and still have a life? The negative side of going to a liberal arts school is that the options are endlesssss. literally. Well, maybe it's not negative, but it can be overwhelming.

I suppose this semester is different because I only have 2 more semesters after thin one before I graduate. Scary. No? This is the time to re-apply for scholarships, think about graduate school, and hopefully come up with some tentative life plan. 

Wish me luck. I'll need it.

Buuuut, enough about me! How selfish of me! I hope the college search is going well and that things are all falling into place. I know this may seem silly now, but trust me when I say that picking a college is not the make or break decision of your life. Think back to high school when that was the most important decision EVERRRR, but not really. ahaha. I guess I'll take my own advice and remember that what graduate school will not define me as a person, it's just a  matter of what I do when I get there. You know?

I guess the best thing about going to a top 50 liberal arts college is that we have the opportunity to explore and in the words of Miss Frizzle "get messy, make mistakes" DePauw University encourages exploration and dare I say it MISTAKES! Really, it's built into the graduation credits. They know that we won't be great at everything, but we at least have to give it a try.

So whether you choose a small liberal arts college, another top private university, or a college of Indiana, remember that it's about the journey not the destination.

Here's another picture from El Salvador. When I have a good hour or so, I'll do a full blog on my trip. Until then, stay up people!

Peace&Love,

Well, I did it!  I survived the first week of the second semester of my sophomore year at DePauw, the private liberal arts college.  I'm actually quite pleased with how everything turned out.  My two classes outside of the School of Music seem like they're going to be very fascinating.  My Spanish professor so far has been enthusiastic about the subject, even when we were just going over the basics of what a narrative is on the first day.  Class is always much more enjoyable when the professor like teaching as much as my classmates and I like learning.  Modern Latin America is also going to be a good time.  The professor for that class is really intense, yet laidback in his approach.  I know I'm going to like learning about Latin America, but there is a TON of required reading!  I bought four or five books for just that class.  The book we're working through now has about 250 pages, and we're going to be done with it in I think two more class periods.  And it's not exactly easy reading, either.  As I'm reading, I'm recognizing an SAT word in almost every other sentence.  The word that really stood out to me was "tantamount" for some reason.  It's kind of tough, but I'm thankful for the many quiet study spots around campus. 

This past weekend was different from most other weekends.  It was the last weekend of Rush.  Saturday night the guys found out which fraternities chose them and Sunday morning the girls found out which sororities deemed them acceptable.  I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before in this blog, but I'm Independent.  That means I'm not in a sorority (by choice, I didn't rush last year).  To me, if you join a sorority, you're automatically going to be perceived a certain way and associated with that sorority's stereotype.  I bet some Greeks would disagree, but really if you asked anyone what the Kappas are like or what the Pi Phi's are like, you'd receive an almost identical answer from each person polled.  The same goes for the fraternities.  And honestly, I like being an individual.  I like having my own voice.  I like being able to talk to whoever I want, when I want during Rush week.  But that's just my opinion.

Sunday I made cookies and brownies at my friend Phil's house.  Phil is also independent.  DePauw offers a variety of living situations for non-Greek students.  I live in a dorm, some people live in 5-8 bedroom apartments, and Phil lives with (I believe) five other people in a six bedroom house.  There's a kitchen, a dining area, and bathrooms, just like regular houses.  So, yesterday I made the most amazing cookies and brownies in his kitchen.  It's been a really long time since I've had gluten-free cookies.  DePauw is really good about working with people who have food allergies, I think it's one of the benefits of attending a small liberal arts college.  I can go into the Den or the HUB, and the people who work there know not just my name, but a little bit about me, and I've gotten to know them, too.














So, I definitely had a busy week and weekend!  It was fun!

The first week of classes at our Small Liberal Arts College has already come and gone! This semester I am taking Spanish Literature, Art History, Intro to Philosophy, and my Honor Scholar class where we are going to be combining literature (the classics) and history.  I can already tell that my social life is going to suffer greatly, but thats how it goes at one of the Top Private Universities in the country... everyone gets his/her turn at having a really hard semester.  I guess for me it is not so much that it is a hard semester, more that it is going to be very time consuming (being in multiple Lit classes).
I have found myself a regular at the Percy L Julian Math and Science Center (Julian) where I will spend hours just reading for classes. This in my opinion is the most comfortable place to study on campus because there is always a bustle in the background and you don't get nasty looks for talking! (My kind of place.)

This week also marks rush week! The first round of rush was last Sunday, and tonight is Round Two. Tomorrow is Round three, and Bid Day for girls is on Sunday! This week is always very stressful for everyone because of the anticipation of what's to come, so it's great that it is almost over!! And I know that all of the sororities and fraternities are so excited to be able to welcome new members into the houses! Just one more thing to make this Liberal Arts College even more exciting!!!

It's been a little while since my last post. I spent the Christmas holiday at home in Chicago with my family and friends. It's time now that I return to the business of my dear old liberal arts college. It's been fun, but I know that it's not all fun and games at DePauw, one of the top 50 liberal arts colleges in the country.

I only spent a few days at home, about 2 weeks because I set sail for El Salvador for my first ever Winter Term in Service, a unique experience for adventure seeking students of private liberal arts colleges. I spent one month in Las Marias, El Salvador. I will devote a few separate posts for that purpose.

In the meantime, I want to remind all seniors to apply for the Servicio en las Americas program through DePauw. It's a service-learning based immersion program for incoming freshmen. Students will spend 3 weeks on campus taking language classes, doing service, and getting to know Greencastle and campus and 2.5 weeks or so in Costa Rica doing service and putting into practice all that they learned before. I really support it. Only at DePauw, a small liberal arts college, can such experiences come about.

That is all for now. Signing out future tigers! Good luck with the application process.

I dreamt of a fever,
one that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart.
with heat to melt these frozen tears
burned with reasons as to carry on.

Winter term has come and gone already! My last Meditation class was on Tuesday.  Usually we only meditate for an hour each day, but for the last day we had a two hour long meditation session.  The two hours were optional, and since I was having a really off day I decided to jump out after the normal one hour session! 
Tons of people are starting to get back from their DePauw UNiversity  off-campus winter terms. It's so great to see all of my friends again!!

I've been living this winter term in one of the dorms that are usually just for the first-year students of our small liberal arts college campus, but I get to move back into Kappa Kappa Gamma tomorrow!  Tonight I will be spending the night at the luxurious Walden Inn.  The Walden Inn is a lovely little Inn located right on campus.  It's not too expensive, and so it is a great option for parents to stay at while visiting their children.  The beds are so fluffy that it's impossible not to have a great nights sleep.  ALSO (it gets better) in the shower the shampoo is no low-quality stuff..  the conditioner, shampoo, and soap are all from bath and body works!  Coconut Lime: my favorite!!!  I would expect nothing less from the Inn on the campus of this Top Private Liberal Arts College.

Wow already the 20th of January! How time flies by!!! Last week was somewhat uneventful. I turned 20 last Tuesday, so that's exciting! My birthday was a good day. I hung out with some of my favorite people here at DePauw University.  I trekked over to Sigma Chi Fraternity where I played some video games which is always a favorite pastime during Winter Term since it's so cold outside! Then went to Phi Delt where I saw some of my other favorite people. It was excellent.

Last year during winter term, some First-Year students went sledding down the hill that's right behind the dorms. There were no sleds so we borrowed some trays from the dining hall. They were, of course, returned after. I overheard some freshmen talking about doing the same thing a couple days ago so that made me happy. Imagination runs freely here at this Small Liberal Arts College! It's necessary too when Greencastle really isn't near any big cities, and the students here are always creating new ways to have fun.

Since during winter term there aren't as many people here, the campus has planned activities each night of the week. MLK day was Monday, and although we were one of the few Indiana Colleges and Universities to have class, there was a speaker that all were encouraged to attend.  Although I personally did not attend, I heard it was great. DePauw University always seems to bring great speakers to our Private Liberal Arts College Campus.
My friends and myself like to eat in order to pass the time.  A restaurant on campus is called  "the Fluttering Duck" Here's a picture of us eating there...

Yeah, It was simple in the moonlight
now it's so complicated

SO, I have arrived back on DePauw University's campus following what seemed to be a very short Winter holiday break! It was great to see my family and friends from home, however I cannot deny how wondrous it feels to be back on this Small Liberal Arts College.
   I began my winter term 2010 class yesterday!!! It was very exciting and quite mentally stimulating. I am a part of the Meditation Winter Term class here at DePauw University.  It takes place daily at the Barlett Reflection Center at the Prindle Institute for the Ethics which is located on the DePauw University Campus, however is a little bit of a stroll off campus.  Students are able to drive their own cars to this locations, but there is also a public transportation opportunity.  There is a lovely Rural Transit bus that students are able to take advantage of in order to reach this destination.



 There are a few of my best friends in the class with me, so it should be a good time!  Today the class was cancelled due to severe weather. THere is a ton of snow!
HEre are a couple random pictures of the reflection center, one from the outside, and the other is the



My good friend Alicia also just back to the Private Liberal Arts College from Hawaii, and leaves for her Winter Term in Brazil on Saturday.  Despite the bad weather, I made the journey to the Indy airport in order to retrieve her.  It was a nice calming drive, and not many cars were on the roads probably due to the nasty weather.

Hello Future Tigers,

I hope that everyone is doing well and staying sane towards the end of the semester. My small liberal arts college sure is keeping me busy. I have 3 in class finals, a 6 page Spanish essay, a 10 page literature paper, a 9 page anthropology paper and then I am home free.

The nice part about going to one of the best liberal arts colleges is that they teach us how to do a balancing act. I'm actually pretty good with time management. Thanks, DePauw! I am so ready to go home and relax. This is the only real break because for 2 weeks, we don't have any classes to prepare for.

I will be off campus during winter term this year. I'm headed to El Salvador for a service trip. We'll be living with ex-guerrilla soldiers in a coffee co-op, and we'll also work with a medical brigade, and do some creative projects as well. Needless to say, I am very excited. Although we are a college of Indiana, DePauw travels. We go global, and I love that.

Well, until next time my friends. I am getting back to this Philosophy study guide. I will post Christmas pictures, El Salvador photos and I'll let everyone know about the status of studying abroad.

Happy Holidays!

My jury is in two days!!  I've been practicing all week, but it still doesn't seem like enough.  Thank goodness today is Saturday.  There's nothing on the agenda except for bass, bass, more bass, and a little preparation for the in-class Spanish essay, which also happens to be on Monday.  The other day my friend Phil (who also plays bass) and I were joking about camping out in the GCPA all weekend.  Now that doesn't seem like a bad idea! 

A couple of days ago it snowed for the first time this year.  I loved watching the tiny white flakes dance in the street lights.  It's been pretty cold lately, and for this Arizona girl that means it's time for the fluffy scarves and extra-hot tea!  But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since the cold weather is to be expected at all of the Indiana colleges and universities since we're so far north compared to Arizona. 

There's only one week of classes left, then finals, and then winter break!  I can't believe how fast this semester has gone by.  I wonder if time passes so quickly at other small liberal arts colleges.  Probably not.  I think time flies at DePauw because we're all so busy!  Ok, enough of a break.  It's time to head over to the GCPA!


Isn't this an
awesome bass?
I wonder what
kind of sound
it produces.

Hello Everyone:

I just want to say good luck when applying for school, since it;s definitely that time of the year.

This has been a pretty busy week and this college of Indiana is back in full swing. I want to take this blog to promote a new program that DePauw has, that's very close to my heart. The DePauw in Ecuador program started in 2007 and it was the deciding factor in my college decision process. I knew I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, perhaps even a top 50 liberal arts college, so this was just icing on the cake. This year the program is moving to Costa Rica and I suggest that any student who is interested in DePauw, a private liberal arts college, and who has at least 2 years of Spanish, to apply for the program.

There are some opportunities that only come about through the support of DPU alumni and as a private liberal arts college, we are a tight-nit community interested in giving back to the students and the global community. That is what this program is all about. Look it up on the website or contact me if you have any questions, I am the student leader.

Peace and Love Future Tigers,

Danni

This past Saturday was the annual International Bazaar. One of the things DePauw prides itself on is being a truly global campus. This means both having one of the highest study abroad participation rates among small liberal arts colleges and having an ever increasing number of international students. In order to engage in intellectual thought/discussion in today's world, you have to have a classroom made of diverse people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

The International Bazaar is event that celebrates DePauw's cultural diversity though food, dance, music, story telling and more. This year more than 30 countries, from which DePauw students hail were represented through over 50 food dishes and dozens of cultural performances.

I had been looking forward to this event all week and let me tell you, it was totally worth it. I tried all sorts of great ethnic foods and saw some great performances by our students from all over the world. Below is a picture of my girlfriend, Meredith, and I, taken just outside the International Bazaar while we were standing in line. I decided to wear a sherwani I got while completing an internship in India last fall. More pictures from the International Bazaar are available by clicking here.

Near a sea of pianos, there were waves of chords
that crashed against the shore in one huge and useless roar.
And there were girls bringing water,
like a dream they came to cure the fever of my brain,
and soothe my burning throat.
And they made me a necklace, hanging beads of sweat on a string of my regrets,
and placed it round my neck


It's almost scary.  It appears to me that almost every person I encounter has an illness of some sort.  Ranging from colds to the swine, everyone is coughing and sneezing. I think this is an important blog for me to write. As illness runs like wildfire in any of the top 50 liberal arts colleges because of the close proximity, it's great to know that we have somewhere to turn.  I've talked to some of my friends recently about the illness at their schools (most of them at huge state schools in Illinois), and the answers for the most part seem to be the same.  There are a lot of people ill, and the waiting list to see a university doctor is seemingly endless. 

At DePauw University we are in luck! Here we are blessed to have the Wellness Center (just a mere 5 minute walk (or less) from basically every point on campus) where it is easy as pie to make an appointment (or counselor if needed) and be able to see a doctor either the day of the phone call, or the next day!  Here's a picture of our M.D....Dr. Scott Ripple.  He is a certified M.D, and got his medical degree from IU.  Very nice.





The wellness center constantly has vaccinations available as well... recently there was a limited supply of H1N1 vaccines, which is awesome! It's great that some people on campus are protected! I was not lucky enough to receive one of these vaccinations, so I'm constantly carrying germ-x in my purse, and forcing all of my friends to "de-germ" before touching me or my things.
 It's awesome how many different types of Germ-X there are.. I have the normal one, but there are actually different scents!! All around campus one is able to find germ-x bottles for student use.  This Small liberal arts college is staying protected and healthy!!

So,

Even though I was technically on the "right" side, I still felt wrong. It was sooo hard to ditch my dear liberal arts college for another. Oh DePauw, I still love you, I swear! Well, as I mentioned in the last blog, I had many of my Wabash friends staying with me for Monon weekend. And boy oh boy, of all the colleges of Indiana, DePauw was certainly the place to be. We tailgated from 9am until game time. I wore red, for safety reasons of course :-) but I had my DPU shirt on underneath. See? >>>>>>>
There is my friend Rachel. Even though she goes to IU, she comes and visits often because she misses the feel of our small liberal arts college environment.

I felt like a traitor... but keep in mind: I took class at Wabash too, and lived with the guys for my summer, so I have a right to be torn. But at the game, I would cheer whenever Wabash was silent, and I got some mean looks. So, DePauw I'm still looking out for you! I risked my life behind enemy lines!







Here is a picture of a section on the DPU side. We surely came out in the masses to be such a small liberal arts school, huh?








And here's a picture of me on the "wrong" side. I had a blast either way, and I appreciate the rivalry. We are more alike than different. HOWEVER, one thing Wabash will never have: girls. Case in point, we win!

Monon: Mission Accomplished.


Forever Black&Gold,

Danni

That's gone and I know that it won't ever come back
  I accept I won't cling to what I had in the past
but life's a slippery slope, regrets the steepest hill
hope for the best, plan for the worst and maybe wind up somewhere
in the middle

So this weekend, as i mentioned in an earlier post, was Monon Bell weekend! It was a lot of fun, to say the least. 
Friday night started with the annual rugby match against Wabash college... It was at wabash, but there was a fan bus that took a group of us to watch t no charge! (another plus of small liberal arts colleges).   We lost, but it was still fun.
Only more fun followed once back at DePauw University! I went over to Phi Delta Theta and hung out for a little bit, before making my way over to see the Asher ROth/ Fabolous concert!  I only stayed for Asher Roth, that type of music really isn't my favorite.  But some of my friends reallllllyyy liked it.
Friday night, three of my friends and myself decided not to go to sleep in honor of monon! 



At 6 AM Phi Delt had a "wakie wakie eggs and bakie" gathering. It was a lot of fun, and having not slept, the eggs were a great treat! Here's a fellow Kappa hangin out at the eggs and bakie.


















Something else that's fun about monon is that the alumni come back! Here are 4 guys that I met Saturday morning! Reliving their
time as a DePauw student, and revisiting their past home in phi Delt. How great!




So, bottom line, we lost the game on Saturday, but it was a great time.  Also great to see that there was a lot of hand sanitizer out... gotta keep that H1N1 under control...  No matter the loss, Monon proved to once again be an epic holiday that could only occur between two Liberal Arts Colleges in the small of Indiana.  Enjoy your bell for the year wabash,  next year we'll be gettin' it back.
