By: Tom Healy, CAMPUSPEAK Speaker The best advice I was ever given about college came just a few days before my freshman year at Ohio University, when someone bluntly said to me “do not let your classes get in the way of your real education.” The message was clear: for you to thrive personally and professionally, […]

Hazing, Recruitment
Over the years, I’ve found members are more likely to ask me questions like “is this hazing” or “can we do this with new members”?
