Sorority Recruitment – unofficial advice

Today’s Daily Deac offers some advice for parents of female students who will be participating in the sorority recruitment process (formerly called “rush”) the first week of January.  The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life did a webinar about the recruitment process (for both men […]


What it’s like when your Deacs aren’t here

When 3,000-4,000 people who’d been here a few days ago suddenly are all gone, it is noticeable. Campus is very still, and very quiet. The stillness manifests in the student parking lots (empty but for a parked few cars), the sidewalks (no one on their […]


A peek behind the curtain

Yesterday I was fortunate to receive an email from an intrepid Daily Deac reader with a picture taken by her Deac.  This is a picture of the Farrell Hall Living Room at 2:02 am, when senior Colton Bina (’17) realized he was the last […]


It’s very quiet

Today is an unusually cold day – highs in the mid 30s (I know it is colder in many of the places where Daily Deac readers live, but this cold for us). This morning I had the pleasure of driving down to the Benson Center […]

Today is a bittersweet day on campus.  Our Deacs went to the College Cup finals in Houston and they played their hearts out.  The game went to two overtimes and then penalty kicks.  Stanford edged us on the PKs and got the victory.  While I […]


LDOC

Today is LDOC – Last Day of Classes.  Depending on your perspective, this could be a blessed day: *finally* you are finished with some class you needed to take but wasn’t necessarily a great love (I had one of those this semester, so I feel […]


Late Night Breakfast this coming Monday

Longtime Daily Deac readers know that I talk about Wake being like a smorgasbord buffet – and the more bites you try of all the campus has to offer, the richer your experience will be. This coming Monday we have a real buffet for your […]


College Cup events in Houston

Today’s Daily Deac is going to be a quick one.  This message went out to the WAKEHouston Community, but I have no idea if we have soccer parents or family members who read the Daily Deac, or if there are fans who just plan to […]
