Let me save you the trouble and the headaches. Don't look now, but the two Chicago baseball teams are off to fast starts. But don't let guys like Eddie Williams or Domingo Ramos fool you—they're not going to lead the Sox or Cubs anywhere. Not like this...

The Sigma Chi fraternity is sponsoring an all-campus food drive today to assist the Salvation Army's efforts to feed DeKalb's needy. Other organizations taking part in the project include all IFC fraternities and sororities, all Black Greek Council organizations,...

To statistical addicts like myself, the opening of baseball's regular season means one thing—the box scores count. Spring training is just a polite way of teasing fans. During the exhibitions, the players pitch the ball, hit the ball and boot the ball...

In the early morning of Friday, March 24, members of Phi Sigma Kappa watched as a fire began at their fraternity house. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. This fire left extensive damage to the house leaving 54 members without a place to live. On...
