This week I read an article in the Daily Mississippian about the alleged complaints made towards the Sigma Chi fraternity here at Ole Miss. The article was about Derby Days which is a philanthropy event the fraternity hosts to raise money. One of the events is a dance competition that each sorority competes in. This year during the question and answer was going on the sigma chi hosts were publicly asking inappropriate questions and are now being investigated for title 9 of the University and sexual harassment. Personally, I do not agree that the chapter should be potentially kicked off campus but more that there be better precautions for next year and the members that were asking the questions be punished.

I also read an article in The New York Times called “Loneliness May Be Bad for Your Heart” it tells the statistical data of coronary heart disease, stroke, and other heart problems that occurred in people based on the study of isolation. The study shows the being alone can actually break your heart. Many people have an increased risk and development of heart problems when they are isolated or have a strong feeling of loneliness. I have always known that human nature calls for us to have the need to be surrounded by others and love. Although, I never quite realized how important it truly is to have people that love and care about you around in your life.
