"Let people enjoy things!" Well, I enjoy critical thinking and over-analysis, so enjoy listening to me thinking too hard about things most people enjoy.
The views expressed in this episode are those of Riley and Emily alone. They do not represent the views of any organizations they are affiliated with, nor do they claim to. In the event of a runoff election, the statements made by Riley and Emily were believed to be true at the time of recording and any information to the contrary was not available to them at that time. Additionally, Riley and Emily are not in any official capacity involved or affiliated with any campaign outside of casting a vote in the VSG 2021 Presidential Election.
This episode Emily and I dive into the events of this past week in Vanderbilt's political arena. We address the three (more like 2 and a half) campaigns that were running and reflect on the larger campus culture that created the environment for the most contested elections in recent VSG memory.

Is Greek Life Obsolete?
A lot of conversations have been happening recently regarding the role of Greek Life on a college campus.

In this bonus episode I work through my feelings about Greek Life as someone who has never been Greek. (No I did not get a bid, I didn't even rush.)

The United States has Daddy Issues
In turbulent times, people often ask "What would the founding fathers think?". I personally think this question is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what the founding fathers thought, only what they wrote in what would subsequently become the United States' founding documents. On this episode, I look at the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to look at what the founding fathers cared enough about to write into law.
