THE VISUAL LEARNER
The visual learner is one who learns best by being
able to see and visualize what it is they are trying to
grasp. This individual is probably very good at
remembering what someone was wearing before
they can remember what someone said. They need to
take detailed notes so that they can go back and see
how their brain was processing the particular lecture.
This learner will quietly take in their surroundings
and will work best in environments where they can
focus. They often take mental photos of their sur-
roundings and are very good about remembering
details or colors of what they see. They may read for
pleasure and can often remember the placement of
something on a page. It is difficult for the visual
learner to work in a noisy environment, take action
on something before seeing what needs to be done,
just listen to lectures with no visuals and concentrat-
ing in rooms with fluorescent lights. This individual
can easily navigate a map and often doodles while
they work.
TIPS FOR STUDYING
Breakdown images
Redraw/rewrite pages from memory
Replace words with symbols or initials
Memorize placement of important items on the
page
Study ALL the material.
Make flashcards
THE AUDITORY LEARNER
The Auditory Learner learns best with sound or
music. They may generally have a good sense of
pitch or rhythm and will often notice the music
that is playing in the background of restaurants,
movies or commercials. This learner learns bestwhen they are talking aloud or listening to a
lecture. They are very attentive listeners and
enjoy discussing what theyve just listened to in
groups. This individual is very quick when it
comes to speaking on their feet or remembering
names of people he/she may meet. However,
they wont remember their face or what they
were wearing. The auditory learner may be a
slower reader, will have difficulty in just reading
rather than hearing directions, may be distracted
by sounds, has a hard time always seeing the
details, and may be quite anxious to interrupt a
professor to be able to talk.
TIPS FOR STUDYING
Go back and listen to recorded lectures (your
notes may not be as detailed because of your pre-
ferred style)
Read summarized notes or textbook aloud
Explain/teach your notes to someone else
Join a study group
Read with a pointer of your finger so you do not
skip over key words or phrases
THE KINESTHETIC LEARNER
The Kinesthetic Learner is more sensitive to the
physical world that surrounds them. It is not
unlikely for them to notice and appreciate colors
or textures. They like getting their hands dirty
and becoming actively involved in what they aredoing. This individual likes to be active and can
often burn off stress by exercising, taking a
walk, or playing a sport. They learn best by
doing. They enjoy things like field trips, lab
work, or small group discussions. They often
take breaks during studying and can be easily
distracted. They are often naturally good at
sports, dance, or competitive activities. The
Kinesthetic Learner may have problems sitting
still in class and constantly fidgeting. They may
have poor handwriting and difficulty listening to
lectures or speakers. They wont always remem-
ber what they saw or what they heard but can
easily recall something that they did.
TIPS FOR STUDYING
Use study groups
Use flash cards
Use memory techniques that require movement
or hand gestures.
Change your study location each time you take a
break.

My Mom keeps calling me uncivi-lized because I dont know theproper way to set a table. Canyou explain to me the correct
way?
The hardest thing about settingthe table is remembering wherethe silverware goes. Luckily,theres a simple solution. Knifehas five letters in it; just like theword right does. That beingsaid, the knife goes on the rightside of the plate (blade facinginwards). Spoon also has fiveletters so it goes on the right as
well. For the sake of aesthetics,the spoon goes to the right of theknife . Fork has four letters asdoes left, so it goes on the left
side of the plate.
Looking at what we have so far,we have a fork on the left and thespoon and knife on the right.There are two items to the right ofthe plate so it seems only fair tohave two items on the left as well.Place a folded napkin underneaththe fork on the left side. For moreformal occasions the napkin isfolded and placed on the plate.
Lastly, place the cup to the rightof the plate, above the knife andspoon.
Now youhave aperfectlyset table.May younever becalleduncivilizedagain!

Take a Moment By Amanda DAvila
As I was sitting at my com-puter with a blank Word documentin front of me, I reached over andgrabbed a Dove chocolate. I openedit and read the quote in the wrapper(the best part of chocolate if you askme) and it said: Appreciate the peo-ple around you and share. Simple
as that. However, this short quotemade me stop and think about howimportant these words really are andthe role they play in my life. Withmidterms, papers, projects and labsconsuming the majority of our livesthis week, we seem to be sowrapped up in all our school
stresses, not to mention our sororitycommitments, that we forget totake the time out of our days toshow appreciation to those thatmake our lives so amazing. Take aminute to think about one personcurrently in your life that alwaysgoes above and beyond to make
your friendship unforgettable. Thisweek try and do something to showyour appreciation for that specialsomeone, whether it is taking themto coffee or just giving them a bighug and a simple thank you for eve-rything you do for me. It feels sogood knowing that you are appreci-
ated and that your efforts of kind-ness and caring dont go unnoticed.So take the time this week to findthat special someone that lights upyour day, your week, your month oreven your year, and let them knowhow much they really mean to you!

Reality: We are in college.We are young and we are
trying to live it up before we
are forced into the real
world. College is the best
years of our lives and we
are here to seize the mo-
ment. But as college Greeks,
we are held up to a higher
standard.
We all know how it goes the
minute we begin to have
fun: Loud. Belligerent.
Sloppy. Outrageous. Weve
heard this all before, and like
it or not, Greek letters
comes with baggage: want-
ing to have fun versus want-
ing to be taken seriously.
We need to remember that
we have chosen to be a part
of the Greek community.
That choice entails the re-
sponsibility of maintaining a
balance between leadership
and fun. Keeping that bal-
ance in mind, we can break
out from the stereotype and
still have fun.
Val Beltran, a member of
Delta Gamma, shares with
me her balance of fun and
leadership within the Greek
community
[Knowing of the sororitystereotype] I was unsure if Iwanted to join a group thatcontained a negative conno-tation. But now that I aminvolved I have gained a newfound respect for Greek indi-viduals.
She believes that Greeks areheld to a higher standard inall areas of their lives: sports,internships, academics, and
outside clubs- not onlybuilding their resumes, buttheir character as well.
Val shares along with us theexperience of being placedin the Greek stereotypeIt is one of those things that
in order for an outsider to
gain full respect of fraterni-
ties or sororities, they must
learn from experience. I tellthem that behind the stereo-
types is another UCI student
who has several priorities and
experience under their belt-
something that most outsid-
ers cannot fathom.
She says that the best part of
being in a sorority is the so-
cial and academic opportuni-
ties. She has had the privilege
to apply for positions within
her chapter and the Greek
community. She takes advan-
tage of networking within this
community, which is one of
the many positives that
comes with being involved in
a Greek Organization.
Val Beltrans experience in
being a part of Delta Gamma
and the UCI Greek commu-
nity is one of the many exam-
ples of the opportunistic posi-
tives the Greek community
holds.
After being in a sorority for a
year and half, "I would say
that I have
Being able to balance the fun
aspect of Greek life with thehigher responsibilities we
have chosen to take on will
only help us to grow as indi-
viduals. If we face the realiza-
tion that fun is still fun, even
in balance and moderation,
we can stomp out the Greek
stereotype. Lets keep up our
already amazing work, and be
the positive influences that
people know us to be.

Dolphins have been viewed as
somehow magical for millen-nia by humans. Theyre one ofthe only animals that appearto play, leaping out of the wa-ter and doing tricks, and thebottlenose dolphin evenseems to grin widely at every-thing. It was inevitable thatsuch a remarkable animal alsocollected a remarkable my-thology that extends throughtoday.
The first culture that seems tohave mythology associatedwith the dolphin was the Mi-noan, a seafaring people inthe Mediterranean. They leftfew written records, but theydid leave beautiful murals onthe walls of their palaces, mu-rals that show the importance
of dolphins in their mythol-
ogy.
Because they were stronglyassociated with Poseidon bythe later Greeks, this probablyexplains why the sea god wasso often surrounded by dol-phins. In one myth about Po-seidon, dolphin messengerswere sent to bring him anymph he loved, who he latermarried. As a reward, he set
the dolphin in the sky as a con-stellation. And he was con-stantly accompanied by dol-phins among other sea crea-tures.
This wasnt the last time the
Greeks associated dolphins
with romance. Aphrodite is
often depicted with dolphins,
riding them or being accompa-nied by them. Later, the god
Dionysus transformed the way
dolphins were perceived in
Greek literature. He was set
upon while at sea by a band of
pirates. Instead of simply de-
stroying the sea raiders, he
transformed them into a pod of
dolphins, charging them to res-
cue any distressed sailors in the
ocean. Dolphins, in Greek cul-ture, were often rescuers of
humans, probably because
they like to bring things to the
surface and, well, because
theres some really good evi-
dence that they do indeed
purposely rescue people in
danger.
