Homecoming weekend. It’s exciting, it’s stressful, and like just about everything at Wabash, it’s teeming with tradition. For Alumni and many upperclassmen, Homecoming weekend lasts about 72 hours, from Chapel Sing to whenever the victory celebrations cease Saturday night (more likely Sunday morning). For us freshmen however, preparation for some aspects of Homecoming began weeks [...]

Gentlemen,
Welcome to Wabash College. Over the next four years, but especially during your first fleeting days at this wonderful place, you will meet many new people. Familiarity with or memory of all these many names and faces will be impossible. As you embark upon this sea of new people and promising prospects, another experience will [...]

It’s the weekly anxiety: what am I going to do this weekend? You chose Wabash for its elite, well, everything. However, the first shortfall is always, “What the hell is there to do around here?” Can you enter that cool new 21+ club in Indianapolis? Negative ghost-rider. What about joining all your new upperclassmen pals [...]

It is the beginning of a new school year, and as we welcome the semester, we also welcome the next group of Wabash men, the Class of 2014.  This issue of The Phoenix, while specifically aimed at the freshmen, will be of interest to all of our reading audience. Zach Rohrbach ’12 has produced a [...]

If I could offer one word of advice to freshmen, it would be to not ditch your faith while here at school. Whether you’re Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, or somewhere in-between, I encourage you to use your time at Wabash to strengthen and grow in your faith.
So many times, we are told “find yourself” and that [...]

Welcome, Class of 2014! At last, you have graduated, you are on your own, and you are ready for what some might say are the best four years of your life. You have chosen a College that is steeped in tradition, one that is known for turning young men into world leaders, and one that [...]

It’s time for “Name the Fraternities at Wabash!”…your first test as a freshman. This is your chance to list the options of living situations that you have, evaluate them, and choose the group of guys that you’ll spend the next four years around. Let’s think about all the easy ones to remember first: FIJI. Theta [...]

On my first visit to Wabash College as a high school senior I thought I knew right away the greatness of this place.  The one thing I was not sure about was the Greek system one finds at this beloved institution.  Everyone, as they grow up, hears stories about what it is like being in [...]
