The not-so-typical greek life community When one thinks of greek life, they think of all-night ragers and parties galore. UNC's greek life is out to disprove the stereotypes, and do some good while they're at it.

By Julia Grooms news@uncmirror.com

Walking into Sigma Kappa's Sig Kap and Cheese, or heading to Café Mexicali to support the UNC Student Public Relations Network club there will always be someone with Greek letters on their chest or hat.

The Greek life community at the University of Northern Colorado is unlike any other.

Many universities pride themselves on the community and safe space that Greek life and its members create on campus, and UNC is no exception.

With Greek life being prominent in many areas throughout campus, and members continuing to be involved throughout other areas of campus, the Greek life community is strong in itself as well as with other campus members.

From the Multicultural sororities and fraternities, to the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils and even the business fraternities on the UNC campus, students in Greek life are connected and involved in many ways.

Many students involved in Greek life at UNC have said for years that the UNC Greek community is truly stronger than stereotypes and outsiders would think.

Going through recruitment for Greek life, all throughout the country, can be a timely and exhausting process for everyone involved.

Each fall, and for many the spring as well, each Greek chapter plans and executes their own recruitment process to find their new members who will fit in and help diversify and create a stronger chapter, in and out.

Through these recruitment processes each chapter shares what they love about their own chapter, but at UNC there is one other aspect shared with anyone who chooses to go through the recruitment process.

Payton Rodgers didn’t know that joining one sorority would mean joining a community of hundreds of members from each Greek chapter, from the members in Lambda Theta Nu that attend Alpha Phi's philanthropy events to the fundraising nights at Café Mexicali for SPRN. “UNC has a Greek life unmatched from others, there are so many different people and different chapters that make up this community and there is no way we could all be anything but a family," Rogers said. "Everyone is each chapter supports every other chapter and their members in a way I never expected when I joined Sigma Kappa. I didn’t just join my sorority but I joined an entire Greek commu-

nity,” Rodger said.

Movies and other mediums help promote stereotypical ideas about Greek life.

Things such as judgment and competitiveness between both the chapters in Greek life and against anyone not involved in Greek life on campus are prevalent in the media, but they are simply not true, according to Caleb Cornell, a junior member of Kappa Phi. “I remember each day of recruitment from over two years ago," Cornell said.

One person I talked to told me about our philanthropy, another would tell me about brotherhood, and another would say how much he loved our chapter house, but every single guy I talked to told me about our Greek life community."

Cornell said he was told of the strong relationships many fraternity members make with each other throughout their time in Greek life, and especially with men from other fraternities.

“I have been in Pi Kappa Phi for almost three years and I have made amazing friends from my brothers, and guys in different fraternities and men from across campus, and every member of sorority life and throughout every chapter has my respect and support, just like my own chapters members,’ Cornell said.

Most stereotypes would say that each fraternity on a campus has it out for the others. Constant competition and judgment between all the chapters is supposedly rampant, and that is said to also impact anyone not involved in Greek life as well.

UNC has fought these stereotypes, and created a strong community.

Rebecca Ingraham is the Program Coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life.

Her position is to advise Greek life and help create a strong environment for students on campus, and help Greek life create relationships with other organizations.

They strive to unite members in relationships throughout each chapter, all of Greek life, and the entire UNC community.

Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Northern Colorado exists to foster growth and development among students while forming lifelong bonds through academic, personal, social, and service-based programming.

Suzie Benoit, a senior who joined Alpha Kappa Psi, a business fraternity, at the end of her freshman year, just a few months after being initiated into Sigma Kappa, didn’t expect the relationships between each of the chapters to be important or even a something to worry about. She shared about her relationships in both her sorority and business fraternity.

“Since then I have learned so much about the connection between each chapter and how all of Greek life at UNC is connected and so supportive of everyone else,” Benoit said.

Activist tackles climate change at UNC

By Kaila Ward

news@uncmirror.com

On Friday night at the Garden Theatre, Student Leadership for Environmental Action Fund brought a young climate change activist, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, to speak about his experiences and views on our changing climate.

Martinez began with a keynote address, followed by a concert from his new album, “Break Free.” UNC senior Kaleigh Berry, environmental sustainability major and a major member of the Leadership for Environmental Action Fund, explained the choice to bring the young activist to UNC. “We saw what Xiuhtezcatl was doing in the community for climate change and we thought there was no better person to bring here,” Berry said.

At only 16-years-old, Martinez is one of the world’s youngest climate change activists, but his age does not

stop him and his family from going to great lengths to protect the planet.

“My mother started an organization in 1992 called Earth Guardians,” Martinez said. “In this world it can feel like young people’s voices aren’t heard, but really we want to get involved.”

As the night continued, Martinez emphasized his personal connection to the Earth through his Indigenous, Aztec tribe heritage, in the name ‘Meshika.’

“Being Meshika, we have a connection to the land,” Martinez said. “As people we have the responsibility to protect what gives us life because we all depend on the same planet.”

Martinez shifted gears to specifically enlighten the UNC community on issues in Weld County. Martinez highlighted how Weld County alone has over 20,000 fracking wells, and proposals are in for two new wells to be built only 500 yards away from Bella Romero Middle School. With this information, Martinez quickly issued a call to action.

“If climate change contin-

ues at this rate, by the end of the century climate change will displace one billion people,” Martinez said.

After the presentation, Martinez and his sister, Isa, performed “Tick Tock” and “Magic” off his new hip-hop album, “Break Free.” The music got the large audience on their feet as the siblings blended hip-hop rhythm with deep messages on climate change.

During the event, Berry emphasized a fundamental principle of the climate crisis.

“I was lucky enough to grow up in a healthy environment, but I still saw what was going on,” Berry said. “I like to stress that everyone has a personal stake in climate change.”

Tristan Kosinski, a sophomore and business management major, also took away many insights from the event.

“I learned a lot more about the environmental crisis we are currently in and how we have to fight back against it,” Kosinski said.

To close the night, Martinez spoke about his involvement in a national lawsuit against the Trump administration on the basis that the government is not protecting basic human rights.

“Our government is supporting an industry that is poisoning our communities,” Martinez said. “People need to rise up to protect our Earth,” he said.

Dorothea Langue’s visual activism

By Joshua Alexander arts@uncmirror.com

Last Wednesday, Linda Gordon, the 2017 UNC William E. Hewit Distinguished Professor of History, presented “Visual Democracy: The Photography of Dorothea Langue.” Free and open to the public, and hosted by UNC’s history department, Gordon discussed the impact and legacy the work accomplished by famed Depression-era photographer, Dorothea Langue.

Gordon originally trained as a Russianist, a person who studies Russian culture and language, graduated from Yale University with an MA and PhD in Russian History in 1970. She’s the recipient of numerous awards and prizes for her books, including the Bancroft Prize, the Beveridge Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Her topics and themes range from welfare politics and racial ideologies to birth control and photography in general.

Gordon’s most recent book, “Dorothea Langue: A Life Beyond Limits,” which examines closely how gender works, evolves and generates the life of the individual through the portrait of a forceful personality.

Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, Dorothea Langue, was an American Depressionera photographer and photojournalist. She is most famous for her work conducted while employed under the Farm Security Administration, humanizing the sufferings and consequences occurring at the time of the Great Depression. Her efforts as a photojournalist helped influence documentary photography for future generations.

Fritz Fischer, a UNC history professor, explained his thoughts on Langue’s work.

“As a highly skilled photographer, Langue captured the emotional essence and impact of the Great Depression in her photography, exposing how serious and damaging it was in the hearts, minds and souls of Americans,” Fischer said.

At the age of seven, Langue contracted Polio, which affected her tremendously throughout life. This disability, however, did not every stop or hinder Langue from succeeding in life. In fact, Gordon mentioned that while slow, Langue was extraordinarily strong and resilient, and had a unique way in photographing her subjects.

“She felt a need and desire in getting her subjects to relax in their natural body language,” Gordon said. “She went about this through means of conversation and demonstrating sensitivity with these individuals. This was absolutely central to her photography.”

Another quality that made Langue stand out was her portrayal these individuals overall, having a talent in making her subjects suffering appear beautiful.

“Langue was quick to see beauty in people you would not distinguish or recognize at first as beautiful,” Gordon said. “She had a special talent for making suffering seem and appear beautiful, lovely, and captivating.”

Not only did she photograph the unemployed, downtrod men and women wandering the streets or plains during the Depression, Langue also photographed migrant workers, Japanese internment camps and African-Americans as well.

“Langue had an enormous assemblage of images related to people of color, making up roughly a third of her entire collection,” Gordon said. “Not one of these photographs, however, were ever distributed or published by the press. During the time, the argument went that only whites could emote sympathy for support in Roosevelt’s New Deal Policies.”

The larger message and overall theme behind this presentation, however, dealt with the notion of visual democracy and how photography impacts the political climate surrounding everyday Americans.

“The main theme of Gordon’s presentation covers the idea of visual democracy, revealing how important photographs and images can be in terms of shaping, determining, and changing policy,” Fischer said.

Gordon also explained how Langue wasn’t as much a political activist as she was a visual arts activist.

“She had a very calm and patient outlook in trying to expand democracy to include everyone, making possible full citizenship in participating within our representative democracy,” Gordon said.

In short, the message was showing how documentary photography could impact policy, in this case, being mostly New Deal policies and regulations during the era of the Great Depression. Corinne Wieben, UNC assistant professor of medieval studies and history, shared her thoughts regarding Gordon’s presentation.

“Gordon excelled in incorporating a variety of perspectives and considering her life in multiple different contexts, while presenting it all in a cohesive narrative,” Wieben said. “She never ceased to tell a story and her message can resonate with any audience.”

Gordon’s presentation expressed how imagery and still photography has the power to invoke feeling, influence sentiment, and drive emotion in individuals, enticing them to act in whatever way. Fischer even mentioned the ruthless and cold-blooded chemical bombings of Syria by President Bashar Al-Assad, which had an impact on the Trump administration’s decision-making. Trump’s decisions, in other words, were determined by images and photojournalism.

“As a historian, Gordon’s talk did a number of things for me,” Wieben said. “For one, her analysis really made me rethink the sources I use and read. She clearly consults history as a continuous and endless phenomenon, also borrowing from art historical theory exceedingly well.”

Gordon concluded the night by opening an opportunity from questions by the audience, including what she would ask Langue if she had the chance.

“There are tons of questions I would ask her,” Gordon said. “For one, I would love to know more what she thought regarding the women’s movement during the 1960s and 70s, since she seemed surprisingly conservative in rhetoric, when asked about it, which is, at least to me, uncharacteristic of her.”

“Her life was simply photography,” Gordon continued. “Langue demonstrates how documentary photography can be art.”

Bringing languages of the world together

By Paige Murray arts@uncmirror.com

The University Center was crowded with high school students at this year’s annual World Language day, an event UNC has sponsored for the past 47 years.

Over 20 different high schools throughout Colorado and Wyoming, such as Mountain Vista and Frontier Academy, and over 1,000 students attended World Language Day to celebrate and compete in different challenges.

Some schools came as far as Durango to attend the event.

All the competitions had specific rules on how many participants each school could allow and how long each perfor-

mance had to be. Scoring was based on fluency, pronunciation, creativity and various other criteria. The requirements were based on the type of competition they were in.

UNC students and professors helped judge all the events. The events ranged from telling stories, to sharing heritage, poetry, show and tell, skits and much more.

This year the event consisted of six different languages: German, Japanese, Chinese, American Sign Language, French and Spanish. This was the first year that the ASL was in included in the event. UNC junior Andrew Moline, currently minoring in ASL, helped judge a few different competitions.

Screening of Ethiopian

By Wilhelmina Jackson arts@uncmirror.com

The International film series screened “Lamb,” an Ethiopian film directed by Yared Zeleke, last Wednesday.

“Lamb” follows the story of Ephraim, a young boy, who leaves his home village with his father after his mother dies. Ephraim leaves with his mother’s lamb and only friend, Chuni, to go to a relative’s home in the next town. In hopes of giving his son a better life, Ephraim’s father heads to the city to find work.

Not only is Ephraim left in a unfamiliar place, but his uncle announces that he will kill Chuni for an upcoming holiday.

Desperate to go home and protect his friend, Ephraim thinks of a plan to save his lamb and go home.

Even though the movie focused on the life and challenges of Ephraim, it also touched on social issues like poverty and gender roles in Ethiopian culture. The film also clearly illustrates Ethiopia’s chronic poverty.

The film also explores the

strict nature of gender roles in Ethiopian culture. Ephraim is able to cook, which is frowned upon in his culture because men usually do farm work and provide for the family, while women do the housework. Tision, Ephraim’s cousin, is hounded in the film for not having a husband at her age.

The purpose of the International Film Series is to screen movies that people typically wouldn’t be exposed to. Senior English major Jeremy Smith, co-student director of IFS, explained how showing movies like “Lamb” democratizes film.

“It kind of still allows them to say what they want to say with their life and career,” Smith said At some point in the movie, Ephraim left his lamb in the care of a shepherd. When he went back for the lamb, it didn’t want to go with him; the lamb leaving Ephraim symbolizes him finally being able to depend on himself.

Two visitors from China, Cuimin Xia and Xia Wen, came to see the movie. They both thought the movie was touching. Xia Wen said the movie was encouraging and that the symbolism of the lamb in the film was good.

That hit came in the bottom of the ninth inning on a three-run, twoout walk-off home run.

Jackson magic continued for the UNC Bears baseball team Friday afternoon against Metropolitan State University. Seven runs in the final two innings were capped off by a walk-off two-run home run from junior catcher Alex Kiel.

The win gave the Bears much needed momentum going into Saturday’s doubleheader against the Roadrunners.

“I told those guys, if this is how we want to do this year, I’m fine. Ill drive the bus, I’ll fly the plane, I’ll skipper the boat, I got their back,” coach Carl Iwasaki said. “If we’re going to live this way, it’s going to be a challenge.”

The 8-6 victory for the Bears came at a perfect time. With the march to Mesa almost halfway over, the Bears needed a big time win to not only boost their confidence but also give the players a chance to sharpen their knives.

These non-conference games also give head coach Iwasaki a chance to play with some different lineups and pitchers to see exactly what he has to do to improve his 4-5 conference record.

In the third inning, UNC junior starter, Aaron Hamilton, gave up his first run after a wild pitch scored senior Jake Thurston and allowed junior Trent Maloney to reach second base.

Maloney would score two pitches later on a RBI single from Junior Cale O’Donnell.

UNC left four runners on base in the first three innings but were able to squeak home a run in the fourth after back-toback doubles from junior Brett Minnick and freshman Matt

Burkart.

The Bears could have tied the game but Burkart was thrown out at home plate after the sacrifice squeeze bunt from junior Dean Lawson landed directly in front of Metro starting pitcher Jake Roley.

The wheels started to come off for Hamilton in the fifth inning. Out of the three runs he gave up that inning, two were unearned. It ended up being Hamilton’s final inning of the game, and put the Bears behind 5-1 with only 12 outs to work with.

The Bats were silent in the sixth and seventh inning, but in the eighth, the Bears would get the rally started.

Sophomore Jack Pauley took the first pitch of the inning and sent it over everybody’s head for a solo home run. That home run sparked the energy for the Bears bats.

They rallied off another three runs in the inning to put UNC back in the game with a chance to win it in the ninth, the deficit was only one, 5-4.

“We always find a way in the late innings to get back in the game,” Pauley said. “I don’t know what it is, but it just gets contagious and once one person gets it going we all get going.

In the top of the ninth, the Roadrunners got what they thought was the insurance run that was going to keep the Bears from completing the comeback, pushing the lead to 6-4 going into the bottom of the ninth.

Metro senior closer Josh Moore couldn’t find the zone to start to the inning, hitting junior Evan Johnson on the arm to leadoff.

Cole Maltese also got a free base when he didn’t lift his bat off his shoulder, walking on just four pitches.

Both runners ended up in scoring position when Moore threw his second wild pitch of the inning.

Johnson cut the lead to one when he scored on a sacrifice fly from Pauley. After a Minnick strikeout and a walk for Burkart, it was down to Kiel.

Moore started the at-bat by stealing a strike on the outside corner. Kiel didn’t like the call from home plate umpire Andrew Torfin but he wasn’t going to leave the game in Torfins hands.

When Moore tried to steal another strike, Kiel made him pay for it, sending it over the left-centerfield wall.

UNC’s bench was in disbelief

as they made their way to home plate to celebrate. Kiel rounded the bases with his hands up and when made it to home plate the team drenched him with water and Gatorade.

“All day I was swinging through the outside pitch, so I was just taking deep breaths and just trying to hit a single honestly, but it just happened to go out,” said Alex Kiel. “I haven’t hit a home run in so long I forgot what the feeling is like.”

After a doubleheader at Metro Saturday, the Bears are back in action Tuesday at 3 p.m. when they host UCCS at Jackson Field.
