Recruitment at Brown * Recruitment Schedule * Why Join a Greek House? * The Recruitment Process * FAQs
The result of fraternity and sorority membership: a bond that transcends time and space- a friendship that lasts a life time. A fundamental principle of every fraternity and sorority chapter is friendship: a brotherhood or sisterhood that one shares through the good times and provides support during the difficult challenges that come with being a college student. The fraternity and sorority chapter provides opportunities for members to periodically assemble and renew those bonds of friendship: Homecoming, Alumni weekends, newsletters, a chapter web page, and athletic events. Many national chapters have alumni chapters in major urban areas, where alumni/ae from various chapters can continue to create new bonds of friendship.
Career Networking:
The fraternity and sorority experience is not limited to college years, but continues through adulthood. Greek alumni associations are available across the country and the opportunities are endless for career connections.
The Greek Tradition
Since the founding of the first Fraternity at Brown in 1836, Fraternities and Sororities have been dedicated to promoting friendship and personal development, academic excellence, leadership skills, community interactions, and individual responsibility. Reacting to the various needs of campus life, Greek Houses offer a supportive environment for an individual to experience growth and success.
Leadership Opportunities
The Greek system at Brown encourages students to develop as individuals and leaders. Greek letter societies naturally attract many active students: members of the student government, athletics teams, residential counselors, and participants in other clubs and organizations. However, those who tend to shy away from such positions are just as likely to emerge as leaders in the Greek system. Leadership starts in the house itself, where self-governance is more than an abstract idea. Houses elect officers to organize events, plan activities and community service, maintain connections with their alumni, manage finances, and much more.
Living in a Greek Community
Most members of Fraternities or Sororities live together in houses designated by the University. These buildings are situated near each other on Wriston Quadrangle. This proximity helps us build a strong community together. It allows different groups to live together and experience a familiar atmosphere. Most houses have access to a kitchen, study area, and private lounge where they can hold events throughout the year. Advantages to living as part of the Greek community are vast: many groups of friends can live together, broadening the number of connections within the greater Brown community.
Academic Commitments and Commitment to Others
Brown students honor academic excellence, which the Greek environment nourishes and promotes. Greek houses expect you to maintain your grades. Members hold study groups for exams and projects, tutor one another in numerous areas of study, as well as benefit from the wide range of academic experience that each individual contributes to the group.
The Tradition of Community Service
Community service is central to the mission of every Greek letter organization. Individuals and teams of houses work on behalf of projects in Providence such as the Mount Hope Learning Center, Habitat for Humanity, the Tomorrow Fund, Providence Science Community Outreach, the Boys and Girls Club, Fox Point School, Rhode Island Hospital, Hasbro Children's Hospital, and Providence Summerbridge. As a Group, Greeks organize and provide volunteers for Blood Drives, Food Bank Collections, Walks for Breast Cancer Research, as well as Brown Community Outreach Day. Serving Providence requires a tightly knit group of people who work well together and are committed to getting things done. These accomplishments are the Greek system's proudest achievement.
Greek Social Life
It should not go unnoticed that the members of the Greek system enjoy having a great time. On weeknights, houses frequently sponsor study breaks in their lounges for all interested students and faculty. On the weekends, most houses have their own parties, barbecues, tailgates, semi-formals and formals, and campus-wide parties. In addition to individual houses' social calendars, the Greek community as a whole plans such events as College Hill Kickoff, Greek Week, Spring Weekend concerts on Wriston, and sponsors campus-wide events, including parties, famous speakers, and discussion forums. After you've gone to a few of these events, you'll realize just how many different types of people you've met.
Is Greek Life for you? As with most things in life, first-hand experience is the best way to find out. Although the path to joining a Fraternity or Sorority officially starts with Formal Rush, each House holds many different types of events throughout the entire year to get new, interested students familiar with Greek life. Don't be afraid to approach a Brother or Sister with questions you might have - they've been here before, and will be happy to tell you about their experiences.

Show All |
Hardiness Zones 4 - 8The Yellow Buckeye can be expected to grow in the zones shown in color in the arborday.org zone map. View Map
Type of treeOrnamental Trees, Shade Trees
Mature HeightThe Yellow Buckeye grows to be 60' - 75' feet in height.
Mature SpreadThe Yellow Buckeye has a spread of about 30' at full maturity.
Growth RateThis tree grows at a medium growth rate. More about this.
SunThis buckeye does well in full sun.
SoilThe Yellow Buckeye grows in acidic, drought tolerant, loamy, moist, rich, sandy, well drained, wet, clay soils.
ShapeThis buckeye has oval shape.
The Yellow buckeye is a common part of the rich mix of species found from the mountains of West Virginia south into northern Georgia. It is a bottomland species in the northern part of its natural range, but farther south it climbs higher on the slopes. In parks and yards it is a beautiful and dense shade tree, suitable as a pleasing focal point or a visual screen. The word "buckeye" comes from the whitish scar on the brown seeds, giving the appearance of a deer's eye.
With its oval, slightly spreading canopy, the Yellow Buckeye makes a fine tall screen or shade tree. Grows best in full sun. Yellow flowers in May, dark green summer leaves turning brilliant pumpkin in fall. Grows to 60' to 75', 30' spread. (zones 4-8)
Wildlife Value
Yellow buckeyes grow in mature hardwood forests, and provide shelter and nesting sites for the animals dwelling in those forests.
As well as the belief in the good fortune of its storied seed, the buckeye has been held to cure rheumatism and other, more minor ailments. Pioneering farm families also made soap from the kernels of buckeye seeds, and many a child's cradle was carved from the wood of this tree. Before the advent of synthetic materials, the wood was used to make artificial limbs because of its light weight and resistance to splitting. A superb variety of one of its cousins, the Sweet Buckeye, was discovered by George Washington in 1784 on a visit to Colonel Morgan in West Virginia. He planted four of them that still exist at Mount Vernon.
This tree has normal moisture requirements, with some flooding and drought tolerance.
This tree usually has five, nearly elliptical leaflets arranged like fingers on a long petiole. Each leaflet is about 4 to 6 inches long and 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 inches wide. Dark green in summer, yellow to pumpkin-orange in autumn.
Flower Color
Numerous yellow blossoms are held erect in clusters (panicles), 5 to 7 inches long, that appear like decorative torch lights in late spring.
Bloom Time
Early to mid-May.
Fruit Description
This tree's fruit is about 2 to 3 inches in diameter with two smooth buckeyes contained in a thick, spherical or pear-shaped husk. The husk, or shell, is smooth, as opposed to the thornier shell of the Ohio Buckeye.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Charles Kerr has been having problems with nests of caterpillars in neighboring cottonwood trees. The tents and their associated caterpillars appear in late summer, so does the insect called the fall webworm. These are sometimes confused with tent caterpillars which create nests in aspen, crabapples, and other deciduous trees in early spring just as leaves start to appear. Sometimes, again incorrectly, the insect responsible for the large nests of the fall webworm, are called bagworms. The main reason for getting the names correct is the control and timing of treatment is different for each of these insects.
The eggs of the tent caterpillar are laid around twigs of the host tree in the fall and this band of eggs surrounding the twig hatch in the spring and form tents in the crotches of branches. The eggs of the fall webworm are not laid until summer when the adults emerge from under loose bark and out of the soil. The nests from this caterpillar form in late summer into fall at the tips of branches. The group of insects known as bagworms includes the evergreen bagworm which feeds on evergreens such as Arborvitae and red cedar. The evergreen bagworm caterpillar creates a small nest of twigs, needles, and other plant debris, not the large webby tents we are familiar with. You may have seen the evergreen bagworm hanging from the twigs of Arborvitae if you have ever driven through Oklahoma but you won't find this insect in this area. On occasion we do find infestations of the snailcase bagworm attached to the trunks of trees and the side of home but these cannot be confused with tent caterpillars or the fall webworm as they look like snails. The tents of the fall webworm tend to hang in the trees for several years while the light and airy tents of tent caterpillars disappear within a few months of the caterpillars leaving the nest.
The application of dormant oil prior to leaf emergence in the spring is one of the best ways to control the tent caterpillar. The oil will cover and plug the breathing hole in eggs causing the caterpillars' death. To be effective this needs to be done by the middle of March. This spray will also suffocate overwintering aphids, other insect eggs, and mites that cause damage to your trees. If you have fruit trees this is one treatment that should not be neglected. Another spray that works on the tent caterpillar is the bacterium B.t. There are several strains of the bacterium and the one designed for Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) is what you need to use.-
An application of dormant oil is not effective on the fall webworm as the timing is incorrect since the eggs of this insect are laid in late summer. The application of the systemic insecticide dinotefuran is however, very effective on this insect. This neonicitinoid insecticide, sold under the trade names Safari, Zylam, and others, is a recent addition to the tree care professional's bag of tricks. When sprayed on the bark at the base of a tree it is quickly absorbed and translocated to the leaves this caterpillar is feeding on 100 feet or more in the air within a few weeks.
If your tree had fall webworm last year, a treatment in early June should prevent the reappearance of the insect this year. A treatment of dinotefuran last fall or even now should control this year's infestation of tent caterpillars. Dinotefuran has been reported to be effective for up to two years so it is a great product to use. Dinotefuran is also very effective on the black pineleaf scale infesting many of the Austrian pine trees in this area.
The neonicitinoid insecticide Imidacloprid is not effective on Lepidopterans or hard-scale insects such as the black pineleaf scale. Imidacloprid is, however, the insecticide I recommended to Connie at All Metals Welding and Fabrication Company for the borers tearing up her black locust. This locust borer is the larvae of a beetle for which imidacloprid is very effective. This insecticide is best applied around the base of a tree in the fall or spring. Unlike dinotefuran, imidacloprid is not effective as a bark treatment.-

I shopped 2 yrs for bottom freezer - size and shelving options are great. ONE complaint is the sounds this frig makes- I listened in store and I believe they have it on demo mode-so it is quiet. However, not so. When reading manual trying to figure out the sound they list every imaginable noise as normal. Most annoying is what they call pulsating which sounds like a bullfrog!

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Thank you Hammacher Schlemmer
By Busco Bob
from Denver, PA
I purchased this Hose for my wife to use in the garden and patio in May 2015 and after 4 months of use the hose ruptured almost in the middle. Hammacher Schlemmer provided the documentation to return my purchase if there were any issues; I requested an exchange. In a matter of days after returning my hose, I received a new Hose. Both my wife and I are more than pleased by the service Hammacher Schlemmer. Thank you!!

100 foot hose
By nina
from bismarck nd
Two hoses were ordered and one sprung a leak. I liked the one and used it all summer. Will be anxious to use the new one in the fall. Am a little worried that it might be fragile due to the one that broke but am thrilled at the light weight and compactness of the hose.
A great hose in a hard to find 100 foot.
By Jerry W.
from Moreno Valley, Ca.
I use the 100 foot expandable hose for watering our 14 fruit trees and our two spas. It is so great.
Great Idea...Poor execution
By Hose Guy
from Mountain View CA
I'm on my third one...first two leaked ...badly.Maybe this one will work.
Stronger than green one advertised on TV
By Chris
from Philadelphia, PA
I needed a hose that I could move around my 3 acrea yard. The standard hoses were too heavy to move easily. This is so light weight. I use it everywhere I need to go.
By HS fan
from RSM, CA
Very light and easy to use. My only complain is it breaks too easily. Water pressure blew out hose at the fitting.
Great Idea, Fails in durability.
By MI6 Audit
from Forks Township, PA
Purchased 2 of the 100' hoses to replace bulky standard hoses at my private residence. Hooked up and applied water pressure slowly as directed. First hose failed immediately at the connection end attached to the house and would not even fill the hose. HS quickly replaced this without question. The second hose work well for a few times but also failed. This time at the nozzle connection prior to the replacement hose being received from HS. The home has standard municipal water service. The bottom line is that this is a great concept and may work best in low water pressure enviroments but the current product configuration lacks the necessary durability for normal day to day use. Sorry it didn't work better for my applications as it was much lighter to use and store. I have returned both hoses and as always HS has agreed to refund without question.
Collapsing Hose
By FlyingFalcon
from Erie, Pa
Great brass connectors with shut off valve. Expands greatly and contracts to small space. I have Nelson traveling sprinkler which does not work well with hose. It is great for spanning distance and collapses quite we'll.

Choosing Flash Modes for a Canon EOS Rebel T3 Series Camera
The built-in flash on your Canon Rebel T3 or T3i offers an easy, convenient way to add light to a too-dark scene. But whether you can use flash or opt to go flash-free depends on your exposure mode.
Using flash in the fully automatic modes
In the following exposure modes, you have zero control over whether the flash fires. And whether flash is even a possibility depends on the exposure mode. Here's how things shake out:
Scene Intelligent Auto (T3i), Full Auto (T3), Portrait, Close-up, and Night Portrait: If the camera thinks extra light is needed, it automatically raises and fires the built-in flash.
Landscape, Sports, and Flash Off modes: Flash is disabled.
Using flash in Creative Auto mode
Creative Auto mode gives you some input over various picture characteristics, including whether flash is used. In fact, you can choose from three flash modes:
Auto flash: The camera decides when to fire the flash, basing its decision on the lighting conditions.
On: The flash fires regardless of the lighting conditions. This option causes the built-in flash to pop up as soon as you press the shutter button halfway.
Off: The flash does not fire, no way, no how. Even if the built-in flash is raised because you used it on the previous shot, it still won't fire until you shift the flash mode to Auto or On. (If you're not planning to use the flash, just press it down gently to close it.)
You can view the current flash setting in the Shooting Settings screen.
To change the flash mode, press the Quick Control button and navigate to the flash setting. Then press Set to display a screen showing all three flash options. Select your choice and press Set again.
Enabling flash in the advanced exposure modes
In the P, Tv, Av, M, and A-DEP modes, you don't choose from the Auto, On, and Off flash modes available in Creative Auto mode. Instead, if you want to use the built-in flash, you simply press the Flash button on the side of the camera. The flash unit pops up, and the flash fires on your next shot.
You do, however, have access to several flash options that aren't available in the fully automatic exposure modes or Creative Auto mode.
Using Red-Eye Reduction flash
Red-eye is caused when flash light bounces off a subject's retinas and is reflected back to the camera lens. Red-eye is a human phenomenon, though; with animals, the reflected light usually glows yellow, white, or green.
Man or beast, this issue isn't nearly the problem with the type of pop-up flash found on your T3 or T3i as it is on non-SLR cameras. Your camera's flash is positioned above the lens, a position that lessens the chances of red-eye. However, red-eye may still be an issue when you use a lens with a long focal length (a telephoto lens) or you shoot subjects from a distance.
If you do notice red-eye in your flash photos, you can try enabling Red-Eye Reduction flash. When you turn on this feature, the Red-Eye Reduction Lamp on the front of the camera lights up when you press the shutter button halfway. The purpose of this light is to attempt to shrink the subject's pupils, which helps reduce the amount of light that enters the eye and, thus, the chances of that light reflecting and causing red-eye. The flash itself fires when you press the shutter button the rest of the way. (Be sure to warn your subjects to wait for the flash, or they may step out of the frame or stop posing after they see the light from the Red-Eye Reduction Lamp.)

Be Mine: Victorian Onyx & Turquoise Ring
Some people associate each leaf of a four leaf clover with an attribute which can include hope, faith, love and luck or fame, wealth, love and health. However, ever the romantic, the Victorians used the four leaf clover as a symbol to express "be mine".
Sentiment and emotion have been translated into a 14k yellow gold ring set with oval black onyx with a gold appliqué of a four leaf clover detailed with turquoise cabochons and a natural pearl center (assumed but untested). The gold mount is beautifully appointed with engravings. Gentle tapering shoulders are ornamented with taille d'epargne black enamel and a subtle design.
Measurements: 7/8 of an inch (2.3 cm) in length by 11/16 of an inch (1.7 cm) in width. Weight of 5.3 grams (3.4 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6 (UK just over an L; Int. Dia. 16.75; Euro 53 mm; Japan 12) and easily sized. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent.
Date: Circa 1880.
