David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and Vittorio Orlando were appeasing him by accepting the points as formal war aims. In an effort to gain support from the Allied leaders, Wilson tasked the House with lobbying their behalf. As the Paris Peace Conference began in January 1919, Wilson quickly found that actual support for the Fourteen Points was lacking on the part of his allies. This was largely due to the need for reparations, imperial competition, and a desire to inflict a harsh peace on…
One of the most popular sports conspiracy theories to come out of the past Century will probably go down in history as the deflate gate . It entails the fact that the Patriots were accused of deflating footballs in the AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. Many believe that the Scandal has married a lot of holes and that is not fully born to be convicting Tom Brady quarterback of the New England Patriots of any wrongdoing. Though the Patriots have had a history of some sport…

Their perfect one hundred and eight game streak and four back to back national championships has earned them the title, Dynasty.

On my sixteenth birthday, I realized how fleeting all of the things I thought were permanent could be. I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to be living in Valdosta, Georgia up until college, which was neither good nor bad. I didn’t want to stay in Valdosta until leaving became a real possibility. Early in the first semester of my sophomore year of high school my mom broke the news to me. My mom came and sat on my bed with me after I got home from school. I remember how surprised I was to…

In Arizona, Northern Arizona University is by far the best university to get educated from. Everyone looks for…

To be apart of the All Iowa Honor Dance Team is the greatest honor any high school dance team member in the state of Iowa can receive. The honor team is created of 250 girls that outshined the other 500 that auditioned for a spot on the floor. Nothing is more nerve racking than only being allowed two minutes to prove to a panel of judges, without a retry. It’s not a basketball game where a time out can be called and one can try the play again, and if the play fails and the game is lost, another…
Will the absurdity that is Deflate gate ever end? Not for a while, it appears. In the latest turn of events, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman on Thursday overturned the league's four-game suspension of star New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, which the league imposed on Mr. Brady for his alleged involvement in a scheme to slightly deflate the footballs in the first half of last season's AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. After eight months, millions of dollars and…

Most members join through the prosses of formal recruitment. This process is run by National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), which was started in 1985 and is comprises of 26 sororities…
Sororities, also known as “fraternities for women” started to form in the 19th century when students began secretly meeting to discuss and deliberate material that was considered inappropriate to universities. Gamma Phi Beta was the first organization to use the title “sorority”, although there were other groups that followed similar traditions.
