Did you know that you can access the University Archives? That you can access every single article that The Lantern has written since its inception in the 1880s? Well, I am here to tell you that you can.
If you go to go.osu.edu/archives and click on Lantern archives, you can search different things related to Greek life at Ohio State, and you can learn so much about your particular fraternity or sorority.
Currently, I am working on creating a Panhellenic-wide newsletter called The Panhellenic Post. As a part of the newsletter, we are trying to feature fun facts about PHA since its inception. Oh, its beginning. Right, when was that exactly? Great question. No one on Panhellenic, myself included, knew that answer. We had no idea when our organization began at Ohio State. So, what did I do? I looked today on the Lantern archives, searching words like "Panhellenic" <OR> "Pan-hellenic" <AND> "women". What did I find? The rich history of our organization which began in 1904. Yep, there you have it: PHA has existed for 107 years, for more years than my chapter has on campus. That is something incredible to behold, right? Exactly.
So, I encourage you to do the same for your chapter. Find out fun stories about its history, and, while doing so, find out more about yourself! :)
That's really cool! I didn't know they had archives like that or that you could look up stuff like newspaper articles. That's awesome :)
