Daily Deac

Where to eat?

Happy end to the short week, Deac families! We’ve got an abbreviated Daily Deac today. I have gotten a few questions from families with students here in summer school re: which food venues are open this summer. There is a website called Deacondining.com that is […]


Up and coming

It’s a new week, Deac families. Let’s get after it! Am hearing anecdotal reports of a lot of winter illness. This is something that tends to happen every winter, when students are all back in close quarters and there are germs floating around. Good reminder […]


Clarification

It is really cold here, and last night the wind was fierce. For any students already here on campus, bundle up. I got a message today asking for some clarification on when residence halls will be reopening. Here is the exact language that was used […]


Sorority Recruitment is about to begin

Today’s Daily Deac offers some advice for parents of female students who will be participating in the Panhellenic recruitment process (formerly called “rush”), which begins this week. Here is my annual disclaimer: I have no dog in the fight about sororities. I neither want to […]


Events miscellany

Tonight there is a Secrest Artist Series event – Jenny Lin, pianist, will be performing at 7:30 pm in Brendle Recital Hall. Once again this is a situation where I’d ask how many times in the future will your students have access to free, […]


Greek recruitment for upperclassmen/women

I am traveling today and tomorrow for our last New Student Reception (hello, Nashville!), so I am sharing some information from my colleague in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. ———————- Fall fraternity and sorority recruitment events are just around the corner!  Because first-year […]


Stuff Our Students Are Doing

A couple of audience-participation kinds of posts today. A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from a Deac mom who was justifiably proud of the philanthropic work our students are doing on campus. She mentioned that the Sigma Chi fraternity (along with several sororities), […]


Lots of energy

The students are back, and there is a lot of energy back on campus with them. Today is Bid Day for sororities, which means at 3:45 pm, groups started gathering on the Quad (or at their lounges if at other residence halls off the Quad) […]


Reentry is hard

We’re gearing up for the return of our students. First it will be the young ladies who are participating in sorority recruitment (what we called “rush” when I was in college), then the rest of the student body. The start of the spring semester brings […]


Final Grade Reporting, and Greek information

It has been insanely quiet on my part of campus. Lots of staff have already left town. Of note, final grades were due yesterday. Your Deacs will be able to access them in WIN. Especially for our P’21 new families, please know that your student’s […]
