“I was standing there look-ing at the house, and there was hundreds of sets of eyes on me, and I was like I don’t know what I’m doing either,” Frisby said.

New to her position, Frisby quickly evacuated more than 60 women from the home, called 911 and kept everyone calm while their house, a hub for all things Alpha Gamma Delta, was on fire. At the time, Frisby was afraid, unsure of herself in her new position but still determined to hold everyone together.

Now, almost eight months to the date the house caught on fire, Frisby and the women of Alpha Gamma Delta are still feeling the effects of the fire, many of them liv-ing in Cate Center instead of the house located at 930 Chautauqua Ave.

And things aren’t that bad.Although the group’s mas-

cot is a squirrel, the story of Alpha Gamma Delta’s house fire is more reminiscent of a phoenix, rising from the literal ashes of an attic fire. Since the fire, plans are in the works to renovate the Alpha Gamma Delta house to be the biggest sorority house on campus — at around 40,000 square feet. Even without a house, Alpha Gamma Delta’s pledge class clocked in at

around 60 women, to Frisby’s relief.

Big plans for the ‘nut house’

Make an ‘L’ with your left hand. That’s pre-fire Alpha Gamma Delta house.

Now hold up your right hand to make a backward ‘L.’ Put your hands together to form a ‘U.’ That’s post-fire Alpha Gamma Delta house, which should be completed in Sept. or Oct. of 2015, Frisby said. The renovation is pro-jected to cost $6 million.

The extension will add about 4,000 square feet to the house. Each new level — from basement to third floor — will add around 1,000 square feet, Frisby said.

Ever ything ab out the h o u s e w i l l b e b i g g e r, including:

• a larger chapter room that can seat about 300 peo-ple, which is almost the chap-ter total for the organization

• bigger bathrooms and separate makeup rooms, so women aren’t using elec-tronics near sinks

• bigger dining room• a grand entrance in the

center of the house — as op-posed to the left — that opens to a staircase

Bigger is better, Frisby said,

because the chapter was outgrowing its old house. If the house didn’t catch fire, prompting the renovation, Frisby said the organization would have outgrown its chapter room this year.

“So it kind of worked in our benefit that way,” Frisby said, laughing.

Recruitment without a house

When fall greek recruit-m e nt b e ga n, the Alp ha Gamma Delta women were ready, but their house still wasn’t.

So much of what a soror-ity does is done within the house. It’s a hub of activi-ty, from chapter meetings, to officer meetings, to study groups, to meals and group TV watching sessions — and

that’s just everyday living. Recruitment is a completely different scenario.

The recruitment pro-cess is mostly ritual, from the way members line up to rally women to the house or the decorations they use. Without a house, the routine changed.

“I was really worried be-cause nothing was the same,” Frisby said.

This recruitment, Alpha Gamma Delta used the Pi Kappa Phi house, arriving there early during work week and leaving late each night.

Throughout recruitment, Alpha Gamma Delta women made the Pi Kappa Phi house their temporary home, even bringing in Mike, the cook from their old house.

DANA BRANHAMNews Reporter @danabranham

From now through Oct. 10, students can register to vote in the upcoming mid-term election at the Student Government Association office.

The campaign, called OU Votes, is part of Campus Compact, a statewide com-petition between other pub-lic universities and colleges to determine which can reg-ister the most students to vote.

This year OU will be com-peting against Oklahoma City Community College, Oklahoma State University

and the University of Central Oklahoma.

The upcoming midterm election will be unique in that both Oklahoma senate seats as well as the gov-ernor’s seat are up for election.

S o o n e r s should register to vote not only to win the com-petition but also so they can voice their opinions in the upcom-i n g e l e c t i o n , said Matt Epting, Student Government Association president.

“We want students to know that they have a voice at the local, state and federal level,”

Voting competition beginsEpting said.

OU Votes is a collabora-tion between the SGA and

the Carl Albert Congressional and Research Studies Center. Lauren Schueler, staff administra-tor for OU Votes at the Carl Albert Center, said she believes it’s es-pecially import-ant for young people to vote on and be aware of the issues fac-ing them.

“It’s really important for young people to vote. It tends to be a lot of older people turning out for elections, and there are a lot of issues that affect college students,”

Schueler said. “I think that they don’t realize sometimes that the state legislature is making laws that affect their life and they should be more involved.”

For students who want to register to vote, SGA will table in the Oklahoma Memorial Union every Monday and Tuesday and will be available in their office from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday until the contest’s deadline.

SGA will have forms for Oklahoma and Texas voter registration, and they can direct students from other states who want to register to the appropriate forms, Schueler said.

Members of AGD Sydney Patrick, Haley Mowdy, Kati Harris, Raquel Osorio, Libby Millsap, Bonnie Franklin, Micah Mccoy, Camila Moreira, Jessa Miller and Emily Norris meet in Cate Center this August. The sisters found alternative places to meet while their house underwent repairs.

And Mike made all their favorite meals, which in-clude such delicacies as breakfast scones and muf-fins — and squirty chicken.

“This is kind of gross,” Frisby said. “Did you guys ever hear about squirty chicken?”

They hadn’t.Squirty chicken, collo-

quially known as chicken kiev, is one of Mike’s spe-cialt ies. The chicken is rolled around in garlic but-ter, breaded and fried. It’s a staple of the Alpha Gamma Delta kitchen.

Fletcher and Bourquin said that although Alpha Gamma Delta didn’t have a house when they went through recruitment, i t didn’t bother them. They chose Alpha Gamma Delta because of the women they met, not because of the house they lived in — but the house they’ll have in the future certainly didn’t hurt their decision.

“We’re going to be the biggest (sorority) house on campus. It’s the newest and the best,” Bourquin said. “I can brag about it.”

Bourquin said she knew Alpha Gamma Delta was the house for her by the third day of recruitment, al-though she felt drawn to the house on day one.

CORRECTION:

In Thursday’s edition of The Daily in a page one story about an OU associate professor discovering a new species of primate, we errone-ously said OU associate professor Cameron Siler discovered a new spe-cies of primate while vacationing in the Philipines. He wasn’t vacationing when he found the primate. In the same story, we also erroneously stat-ed that the Biodiversity Management Bureau in the Philippines can pass resolutions. They can’t. They can only gather information to present to governing bodies, which can then pass legislation.

“I just got this feeling, like, this is where I belong. I just knew that this was home,” Bourquin said.

She didn’t mean a physi-cal home.

Fletcher also mental-l y c o m m i t t e d t o A l p h a Gamma Delta on skit day.

“It just clicked that day,” Fletcher said.

W h a t m a d e F l e t c h e r feel the best was how the

women in Alpha Gamma Delta seemed to want her in the organization just as much as she wanted to be in it.

60 Alpha Gamma Delta women were displaced. While OU officials offered

t h e w o m e n u n i v e r s i t y housing in places like Cate C e n t e r a n d T r a d i t i o n s Square Apartments, the months after the fire were hectic, Frisby said.

Without the house, the women realized how much they relied on it. It was the place they received their mail, where they ate their favorite meals, where they studied. It was home, and they couldn’t go back.

“Last semester was a hot mess, emphasis on the hot,” Frisby said.

This semester is better. Around 60 Alpha Gamma Delta women live together in two Cate Center hous-es, Neill and McSpadden. Aside from the resident

advisers, the women have the first through fourth floors to themselves.

Like their old house, the women congregate in Cate Center even if they don’t live there.

“ I ’ m a l w a y s t h e r e ,” Bourquin said.

A time for reflectionFrisby’s term as Alpha

Gamma Delta president started with a fire. However, it was Alpha Gamma Delta that helped Frisby become the type of person who could lead an organization through a fire.

Thinking back on her time in Alpha Gamma Delta, Frisby said she remembers one day during recruitment very vividly, the day her soon-to-be sister’s mother, Jamie Harms, planted a seed in Frisby’s mind that Frisby couldn’t help but nurture.

“On the second round of recruitment,” Frisby said. “When I was going through, someone said, ‘I could see you being a leader of this chapter in the future.’”

Frisby had been in lead-ership positions before, but she was from a tiny high school, and didn’t feel like those positions on student council had much merit. Those feelings didn’t stop her from trying. Throughout her years in the sorority, be-cause of the people she met and the opportunities she had because of it, she found the courage to step up and lead.

A few years later when she was elected president, Harms called Frisby to say, “I told you so.”

While Frisby will graduate before Alpha Gamma Delta’s new house is complete, she plans to be there when it opens.

Fletcher and Bourquin plan to be there too, except they’ll be among the first women to live in what will be the largest sorority house at OU.

“We’re going to make his-tory,” Bourquin said.

O U P r e s i d e n t D a v i d Boren announced Friday a five-year, $500 million campaign to raise funds f o r s c h o l a r s h i p s, c a m -pus updates and faculty endowments.

The “Live On, University” campaign’s primary goal is to raise funds for student scholarships. Over the past four years, the amount of private scholarships has d o u b l e d , b u t t h e “ L i v e On, University” campaign

intends to add another $100 million to that number, Boren said.

The campaign also in-tends to raise:

• $25 million for class-r o o m a n d l a b o r a t o r y updates

• $20 million for housing for sophomores, juniors and seniors

• Faculty endowments that combined total just over $34 million.

Before closing his speech with the singing of the OU chant, Boren explained the meaning of the phrase “Live on, university,” which appears at the end of the chant.

“These words at the end

of the chant, ‘Live on, uni-versity,’ they’re not words of assurance. They’re words of determination. They are words to which we are chal-lenged. They challenge us that this university should live on, stronger, better and with more opportunities than ever before,” Boren said.

FOOTBALL

Sooners win against Volunteers

DILLON HOLLINGSWORTH • FOOTBALL BEAT REPORTER

The fourth-ranked Sooners continued their hot start to the season Saturday as they took

down the Tennessee Volunteers. Here are the top five takeaways from the Big 12 vs. SEC showdown.

DEFENSE DOESN’T DISAPPOINT

KNIGHT KNOWS THE SECThe Sooner defense has

been impressive so far this season, and against its

toughest opponent yet, it con-tinued to be as good as advertised.

Mike Stoops side managed three take-aways, including senior cornerback Julian

Wilson’s 100 yard interception return for a touchdown. Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley was sacked five times. The Volunteers had negative rushing yards late into the third quarter before two big runs brought them into the positive.

Sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight eclipsed 300 passing yards

in a game for the second time in his ca-reer — the first since the Sugar Bowl win against Alabama, another SEC foe. Knight finished 20-33 with 308 yards and a touchdown and one hard luck

interception. The pick came when a pass bounced off freshman receiver

K.J. Young’s hands and landed in the arms of a Tennessee defender. Knight also picked up a touchdown with his legs, his second rushing touchdown of the season. The San Antonio native is starting to devel-

op a reputation as a big game per-former and an SEC destroyer.

Quarterback Trevor Knight

RUN GAME RUMBLES ON

It wasn’t the same show the three-headed monster in

OU’s backfield put on in the first two games, but the Sooners picked up

146 yards on the ground against a much stiffer run defense than they had faced up to this point. Freshman Samaje Perine led

the team with 67 yards and sophomore Keith Ford, who has

established himself as the team’s fea-ture back, picked up 56 yards and a touchdown.

3.

AIRING IT OUT

The first two games the Sooners played this season were high-

lighted by a monstrous rushing attack. Tennessee focused on taking that away Saturday. The Volunteers loaded the box

and stuffed the run, putting pressure on Knight and daring him to beat them

over the top. Knight accept-ed the challenge and made

it happen with some help from his receivers. Junior Sterling Shepard

had his second consecutive game of over 100 receiving yards as he picked up 109. Junior Durron Neal continued to estab-lish himself as a reliable number two option and senior Blake Bell proved that he can be a receiving tight end. Ford also showed off his hands as he hauled in the team’s lone receiving touchdown.

4.

SOONERS READY FOR CONFERENCE PLAY5.OU performed as well as it could have hoped throughout its non-con-

ference schedule. The Sooners compiled convincing wins against Louisiana Tech, Tulsa and Tennessee. Oklahoma’s hot start sets up well as it heads into a tough stretch of four games away from home. Taking down an opponent from another power conference is a solid way to close out the first portion of the season. The next step is a trip to Morgantown to open up Big 12 play against West Virginia.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

This will be a year of many changes. Some may take you by surprise, but will turn out to be rewarding. Donʼt be afraid to take a few detours along the way. With an open and accepting attitude, you will enjoy the new experiences that await you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Itʼs time to budget. Use discipline to avoid making impulse purchases. Keep close tabs on your bank account. Your funds may not be as plentiful as you thought.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Welcome a change of scenery or shifts in your daily routine. Whether you take a day trip or make improvements to your home, it will give you a fresh new outlook.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Look for diverse ways to fi nance a business idea. Study the market for useful tips. Make investments that will help you be more fi nancially independent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A romantic relationship with someone who works in the same fi eld as you will give you a professional boost, as long as you ignore the meddling of your peers. Modify your schedule to suit your needs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Refrain from making major changes. Consider the long-term effects fi rst. Circumstances are bound to change unexpectedly, leaving you in an awkward position. Your strategy must be concise, with every detail executed impeccably.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Let bygones be bygones. Your identity and experiences will shape your future. You have a lot going for you, so make the most of it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Say what you feel. You will be off the mark if you try to tell others what you think they want to hear. Honesty is the best policy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Reach out to those less fortunate than you. Dwelling on your disappointments is unproductive and detrimental to your health. You have a lot to offer, and will gain much from helping others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be emotionally vulnerable today. Your heartfelt outpourings will make others uncomfortable. Say whatʼs on your mind, but use diplomacy and discretion in order to avoid discord.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Personal problems wonʼt go away unless you address each situation head-on. In order to relieve stress, deal swiftly with any issue that interferes with your daily routine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will discover an opportunity to put your special talents to good use. Make helping others your top priority. Your assistance will net you approval, recognition and rewards.vvv

The OU Symphony Orchestra rehearses Friday afternoon in Sharp Hall. The ensemble is preparing for its first concert at 8 p.m. tonight.

MICHELLE JOHNSTON Life & Arts Reporter

OU Symphony Orchestra will kick off its first con-cert of the academic year Monday with pieces from the German romantic era, one of music’s most popular periods.

Individuals can buy tick-ets for the event at the Catlett Music Center box office. Tickets are $9 for adults and $5 for students, faculty and staff. The group will perform beginning at 8 p.m. in the center’s Sharp Concert Hall.

OU Symphony Orchestra is composed of graduate and undergraduate students in the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts. The group is designed to give stu-dent musicians experience performing, said Jonathan Shames, director of orches-tral studies, music director and conductor.

In the orchestra, mem-bers will learn techniques

that will help them play most types of music they’ll en-counter in their professional lives, Shames said.

T h e c o n c e r t w i l l i n -clude Johannes Brahms’ “Variations on a Theme of Haydn,” as well as the “First Symphony” — also known as the “Spring Symphony” — by Robert Schumann.

Opening the program will be Sergei Prokofiev’s “Montagues and Capulets” from his ballet “Romeo and Juliet.” Shames will conduct the piece.

“The program abounds in music of gorgeous mel-ody, beautiful orchestral color and a kind of exalted excitement. The short work of Prokofiev’s with which we open the concert, his depiction of the Montagues and Capulets from ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ is a justly beloved work as well,” Shames said.

The concert’s theme is the connection between Brahms and Schumann.

Schumann and Brahms were great fr iends, and Schumann, the older of the two, did much to establish

Brahms’ career. Shames said their works are mas-terpieces of the Romantic Era.

“Hearing two of their great works side by side allows us to experience the great similarities of these two friends and col-leagues,” Shames said.

P e r c u s s i o n p e r f o r-mance senior Christian Parnel l , an orchestra member, said students should come to the con-cert with an open mind and leave pre-conceived notions of the music they know at home.

“The event gives you a chance to hear music you don’t get to hear much around this part of the country,” Parnell said.

Tickets can be pur-c ha s e d at t h e Cat l e t t Music Center box office. For more information on upcoming concerts, visit www.ou.edu/finearts/music.

EDITORIAL

Club provides outlet for thought

The Oklahoma Daily is a public forum, the University of Oklahoma’s independent student voice and an entirely student-run publication.

Letters should concentrate on issues, not personalities, and must be fewer than 250 words, typed and signed by the author(s). Letters will be edited for accuracy, space and style. Students must list their major and classification. To submit letters, email dailyopinion@ou.edu.

Our View is the voice of the Editorial Board, which consists of nine student editors. The board meets at 2:30 p.m. Sunday and at 12:30 and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday in 160 Copeland Hall. Board meetings are open to the public.

Guest columns are accepted and printed at the editor’s discretion.

Columnists’ and cartoonists’ opinions are their own and not necessarily the views or opinions of The Oklahoma Daily Editorial Board.

TONY RAGLE/THE DAILY

Our View: We believe SGA’s new book club will facilitate critical thought and exciting solutions for issues facing the U.S.

We are fans of book clubs. In fact, we like every-thing they stand for. People coming together to build knowledge and understanding through the shared experience of reading the same book — what could be better? Which is why we’re excited about OU’s Student Government Association’s new initiative, “One Campus, One Book.”

Most book clubs attract like-minded individuals or are limited to a group from the same generation. However, SGA’s book club is designed to allow a diverse group of participants and is open to all faculty, students and staff for a $5 sign-up fee. We believe this will allow for truly constructive discus-sion and are excited to hear the solutions generat-ed by the group.

The group will read “Time to Start Thinking: America in the Age of Descent” by Edward Luce, a book handpicked by OU President David Boren. The book is a critical look at the problems facing America, with each chapter representing a different issue, such as income inequality. Club participants will answer online discussion questions each week and there are no mandatory in-person meeting times, The Daily reported.

While a book club without official meeting times may seem unorthodox, we believe it will actually be more effective in promoting organic discussion. Mandatory meeting times can turn anything into

a chore, even an optional book club. By promoting online discussion and voluntary group meetings, “One Campus, One Book” will encourage its mem-bers to contribute when they want to and have something passionate to say, not just to meet a par-ticipation requirement.

The club begins Sept. 29 and people interested in participating can sign up on the “One Campus, One Book” website. After signing up and paying the $5 fee, participants can pick up the book at the Bizzell Memorial Library circulation desk. And seriously, even if you think book clubs aren’t your

thing, you should give it a shot. How else can you get a $26 modern political science book for only $5? Furthermore, reading a complex text, like a book that takes on all of the major issues facing the U.S., is much more rewarding when you have an opportunity to step back

and discuss the book with people who see the world differently than you.

There are many book clubs at OU — such as the Honors College book clubs — that cater to mem-bers of specific groups. What’s so great about SGA’s club is any member of the OU community can take part. And you do not need to be an English major to benefit from a book club. Engaging in creative, crit-ical thought and putting those thoughts to the test against other club participants encourages intellec-tual growth for engineering and literature majors

The Our View is the majority opinion of The Daily’s eight-member editorial board

alike. We urge OU students to try something new this semester and participate in SGA’s book club. After all, you just might learn something new.
