Cut, Print, Moving On: Starting Part Two

This week, I had the chance to wrap up the first part of my project: I scanned the last pages of the Phi Kappa Theta scrapbook into the computer and completed the digital book.

I don't know how I feel about this, honestly. I kind of enjoyed the tangible feeling of knowing that I was holding the past within my fingers. But I suppose that it is time for me to work on the second half of my project, and learn about the other dimensions of archival work.

Starting next week, I will begin compiling a list of every Greek organization on Spring Hill's campus and its list of members, beginning with our first fraternity on campus, Omicron Sigma. I'm looking forward to this, since it will (possibly?) give me my first chance to work with sorority life on campus. I'm also excited to see just how much of the student body actually participated in Greek life. The current numbers are around 30% - I'm interested in seeing if this remains steady from the beginning of Greek life's introduction on campus to the present day.

This week's music was an eclectic blend of Fall Out Boy (I still can't shake the fact that all of their songs are extremely catchy) and Rascal Flatts' Rewind. I really love this album - it's super upbeat and great for a mid-afternoon pep talk.
