East Carolina Uniyersity and the pride that lives in
Greenville, North (Carolina.
Each one of us has been since the first day we
boarded the ship and became an East Carolina University
Pirate. Whether we were inspired by the people we
met, the friends we made, or the memories we created, we
were intrigued by the wisdom and motivation of our
professors who helped us succeed academically.
We rivaled with our fellow Pirates and proudly chanted
purple and gold while exploding with spirit that made
tailgating and sporting events a blast. We in
those who we now call our brother or sister, forming
unforgettable relationships and unbreakable bonds.
All in all,)we were in everything possible,
_ soaking ourselves in the experiences as a Pirate that will
live in our hearts forever. And finally, we 21 aduated
from the Pirate ship, fully prepared to take on the mighty
Seas that may await us. We will always carrying the
cele r ated spirit of the east in our hearts...

The Triangle Fire of 1911 was an early historical event that shook the city of New York.
Katharine Weber, is an assistant professor of writing at Columbia University and also a best selling
author. Weber came to ECU to discuss the triangle fires and her book that takes a real tale and turns it
into'a work of personable fiction.
A large group of ECU students and Greenville residents gathered to hear the story of the triangle fires
that occurred at a clothing factory in New York. Several girls were killed in the fire while trying to
escape the flames. WeberTs novel describes a woman who saw her loved ones die while horse drawn
carriages attempted to put out the large fire. The point of the story 1s to show that labor workers of
that time who came to America to be free were under horrible work conditions that were extremely
dangerous.
ItTs important to talk about things like this and stop to pause and reflect on the past,� said freshman
Erica Gilmore who attended the lecture.
Today the same work conditions exist for countries that are less advanced and do not live under a
democratic society.
When we export our hard labor jobs we also export our tragedies,� said Weber in reference to other
fires and explosions that have occurred in unsafe work zones in third world countries.
Vv
The lecture served as an eye opener about work conditions and the calamities that come with unsafe
equipment and venues.

East Carolina defines leadership as the relational process of inspiring, CepOrenng and influencing positive change. It is first in IEE BR and
stands firm to equip the Pirate Nation in this skill.
Hosted by the ECU College of Technology and Computer Science Leadership Legacy Lecture Series, Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Eric F. Buller,
Executive Officer, Army ROTC, Pirate Battalion, presented a lecture-on The Army Legacy:. A Foundation of Leadership. During his tenure at
the United States Military Academy at West Point, he led the General Psychology for Leaders .program. .Buller-was a most logical choice for
the series, as he was a member of the ChancellorTs Leadership Task Force that defined EGUTs leadership philosophy, and then, guided the EGU
WomenTs Volleyball Team in defining their philosophy as Well. I am thrilled that Buller could return to our series again this year,� said
Stephanie Sullivan, series organizer. Sullivan, a Department of Engineering Instructor, initiated the leadership speaker series in spring 2010 in
support of her Engineering Project Management course. With the guidance of Dr. Steve Duncan, the Assistant Vice Chancellor for
Operations, Planning and Program Development and Director of Military Programs, she brought in many speakers, the majority of whom had
military experience. .The series provided students the opportunity to be exposed to different leadership philosophies, including that of the
military, so that they can form their.own personal ones. In his lecture, Buller makes this connection between military leadérship training and
workplace success; he discussed an article in Fortune on the topic, showing several magazine covers from that issue that depict members of the
military.
Leadership is about leading people toward a particular objective,� Buller explained, describing the necessary components of a.true and effective
leader. You have to begin to develop and display different leadership qualities to progress to higher echelons.
%,
Before commissioning as officers in the United States Army,� Lieutenant Buller continued, our Army ROTC cadets seek numerous
opportunities to practice leadership in roles where people and challenges are diverse. When they head out, they build trust with subordinates.
33
They determine what their values are and do not deviate from them. People often look up to those who they perceive to be leaders.
Leadership development is an effort that enhancesTa learnerTs capacity to not only lead themselves, but guide and direct other individuals,
groups, or organizations toward a common goal. East Carolina University has made.a firm commitment to distinguish itself by preparing
leaders for both our state and nation. As a leadership university, our mission is to serveTas a national model for public service and regional
transformation by preparing students to compete and succeed in the global economy and multicultural society, provide cultural enrichment
and powerful cea as we work to sustain and improve the quality of life, as well as distinguish ourselves by the ability to train and
prepare leaders.

Scott Hall was a dedicated residence hall that honored William Kerr Scott, .a former Governor and United States Senior chat vahied a feeaty
of higher education in eastern North Carolina. The dedication of the residence hall came in 1963; by that time, the building itself was starting to
come into question. The need for updating was evident. Scott HallsT layout consists of four floors of suites that have two suites with four rooms
and two partially private bathrooms. The bathrooms are shared with four people as opposed to 20-plus people in a regular dorm. The hallways
are outside surrounding a courtyard area. There are two elevators and wheelchant ramps in the building. The rooms come as equipped path
brand new furniture, air conditioning, lighting and heating systems.
T love living in-Scott Hall, itTs nice to live with some of my closest friends,� said sophomore Shannon Webster from Cary, North Carolina. I
lived in Aycock last year and I used to wake up to the construction at 7 oTclock in the morning, every single day, now I get to. reap the rewards
of that.�
4 P
~The new walkways of Scott Hall house mostly freshman and sophomores with the occasional upperclassmen that enjoy the brand new
furnishings and accessories the residence hall has to offer. Renovgtions to other dorms on campus are in the works with small adjustments
having already been made to Tyler Hall and Fletcher Hall. "

_ Acknowledging the importance of the softball, soccer and track teams, East Carolina UniversityTs Athletic Department has spent $24-million
fe) On improving the Pirate home territory. The new Olympic Sports Complex is just one more step to advance sports facilities at ECU and 1 1s
anticipated by coaches to improve recruiting and facilitate the overall supply from the schoolTs commitment to sports of all types.
Located on the corner of Charles and Greenville boulevards, adjacent to the football and baseball stadiums, not only will this 18 acre
complex draw more sports fans in and promote a higher success of team members, but it will also create an excitement in ECU visitors for
the undying Pirate spirit that ECU holds for itTs athletics.
This recently déveloped spofts complex gives East Carolina one of the best facilities in North Carolina, and each of the three sports teams
are individually psyched for various reasons about their new playing fields. The sophisticated brick wall that will encompass the massive
XPansion will finish off the Olympic Sports Complex with an impactful impression to the entrance~of the Pirate Nation.

or eC eC n ECU encourages students, faculty and staff to appreciate the environment.
In a world where going green� is the new fad that defines our generation as being environmentally savvy, East Carolina University is
making the attempt to join the revolution.
With every dorm room equipped with a standard trashcan and a recycling bin, students are given the opportunity to make a small
contribution to saving the environment. There are constant reminders around campus to ~reduce, reuse, amd recycleT waste products.
These posters and flyers are small ways to reinforce how important it is to take care of our community as well as the over all
environment. Another strategy that ECU is taking is holding events and lectures on the way our environment is treated and what
people can do to make it better.
The point of being environmentally friendly is to make the Earth more sustainable,� said junior Tim Smith. As people, we inhabit
the Earth, so we must respect it and treat it with care.� Sending messages through our university is a great way to grab the attention of
students who otherwise do not notice how their actions take a toll on the environment.
Another small but influential way ECU is making a difference is, the showers in all the dorms are equipped to produce minimal
amounts of water during showers. Since there are so many students using the water system 24/7, this is an important way to cut down
on water usage. The responsibility of keeping the environment healthy and the Earth clean, lies on every one of our shoulders. Small
steps eventually make a large difference in the quality and sustainability of the world we live in now, and the conditions that future
generations will inhabit as well.

Students await the opening of Pirate Palooza outside the Minges coliseum.
The customary tide of purple and gold clad students flooded Minges Coliseum and the Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium
for East CarolinaTs tenth annual plunge into purple� Pirate Palooza on Monday, August 30. Free tees were
handed out under tents on the football field as ECUTs cheerleaders ran their routine to the drum lineTs beats.
Although a particularly nasty lightning storm blowing in prevented students from enjoying the view from the
bleachers and soon after the festivities on the field, it could not dampen the mood and the purple tide swarmed
underneath the stadium to scope out the free food and promotion giveaways. One that drew a lot of attention
from the Pirates in attendance was the Chegg booth, which gave away a t-shirt after students filled out their name
and email, then had their picture snapped displaying their new apparel.
Pirate Palooza is also the designated time for the majority of the members of the Student Pirate Club to pick up
their membership card, free t-shirt, and any guest tickets they ordered for the opening game against Tulsa's Golden
Flurricanes. Lines were backed up out of Minges Coliseum and stretched back to the parking lots as students
waited patiently (or impatiently) to pick up their gear. As the storm blew in students were brought inside to wait
in the stands around and above the basketball court, a view many had never had the chance to experience.
Eventually everyone was taken care of and smiles and relieved chatter filled the coliseum as students filed out,
satisfied with another year of one of ECUTs fun-filled traditions.

Thousands of ECU students gathered in Minges Colliseum,
during the homecoming concert, to enjoy some old and new
hip-hop hits from rap star} Ludacris.
Homecoming was a great time for students to have fun on
campus, and the Ludacris show made that very possible.
Students lined the bleachers of Minges Colliseum as well as the
floor during the sold out performance.
I was so close I could feel the heat from the stage lights,� said
ECU sophomore Anna Morrison. The concert was amazing! I
love Ludacris so it was a real treat for him to come to ECU,�
she said.
After opening acts had performed for an hour, Ludacris came
out pumping up the audience, while blinding them with his
watch covered in diamonds. He started off with more recent hits
such as My Chick Bad. Then Luda� reverted back to some old
classics off his Chicken-n-Beer album; Act a Fool and Stand Up.
When he started to sing My Chick Bad, I went crazy, itTs one
of my favorites by him,� said ECU sophomore Kathy Nguyen.
During Homecoming celebrations of the past years, various
other famous artists have come to perform and bring
enthusiasm to our campus.
Whenever a celebrity comes to a smal) town there is major
excitement, when itTs a college campus anticipating a huge
homecoming game when everyone is pumped for a good time,
itTs heightened significantly,� said sophomore Shannon Webster.
The energy that overcame the massive crowd of students was one
to be remembered, as Ludacris hyped up the Pirates even more
than they already were for the week of 2010 Homecoming!

exciting time for students to show off their cocktail

illumination of the 50,000 empty seats of Dowdy-
Ficklen Stadium and the crisp green of the football
field that was just craving to be stomped on. With
this view, it was inevitable to feel an ambiance of
anticipation for the energy that would take over this
stadium at the 2010 Homecoming game.

Midnight Madness at Mendenhall this year elicited more screams than previous years. The haunted trail lacked the original spooky
black cat feel, and hosted: more of a darkly abandoned hospital-vibe. The kind of feeling that leaves you wondering if you can
make it through the night; the kind that also leaves you clinging to every ounce of hope that there.is ~a light at the end of the
tunnel and not a figure carrying an unmistakable butcherTs knife. Your heart seemis to stop every few steps; your senses appear to
have grown keener since you stepped foot into this bloody maze.
Why are you so afraid? Perhaps it is the possessed dolls that surround you. TheyTchase you out of your sanity, screaming in their
little doll voices until you escape the terror that isa little girlTs childhood companion.
Dismembered limbs and appendages painted in a heavy coat of freshly oozed blood plaster your vision. It forces your brain to
spit out nothingness, as you stand paralyzed in a state of shock. Be sure to tread quickly and warily, for the man with the butcher
Knife is coldly admiring your warm body on his chopping block. Be as quiet as a mouse and as invisible as the fear spilling from
your demeanor, then you might escape without any handicap to your body. SS
You've made it to the light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, you could have done it pe sas your friends by your side or without
screaming, but what fun would that be?

Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble! On the night of all HollowTs Eve, trouble stirs not only in
the midst of the haunted, but also in the streets surrounding East Carolina University. Witches, warlocks, fairies and foes
come out with high spirits to celebrate the crisp fall evening with a spooky atmosphere. Turning into a Halloween town, the
city of Greenville is overtaken annually by thousands of ECU students and visitors who have waited the whole year to dress up
and go crazy on this very night.
Although the priority in studentsT minds may be having a blast while showing off their carefully prepared costumes, the
Greenville Police Department has a very different main concern, and that is controlling crowds and keeping everyone out of
danger. Despite the fact that the intention is purely fun and excitement, precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of East
Carolina University students as they thoughtlessly celebrate an evening that could end up being very dangerous.
Dancing through the streets with high Halloween spirits, students seem to be oblivious to the hazardous consequences that
result from large crowds, intoxication, sexual predators and other dangers. In order to regulate safety and take every
precaution necessary, Greenville police have extra help on duty in Greenville on Halloween night. Police forces from
surrounding areas, ECU Police, and Pitt Country police officers pitch in to ensure the wellbeing of students and residents on

ae ath
Madness in Mendenhall. Students gathered to enjoy spooky fun, jubilant games, and delicious food while staying in a safe
environment.
Halloween-at ECU is such a major event that many students from other schools come to party. Officer Wilkins verified that
the number of students occupying the campus increases tremendously from a normal total of 27,000 up to approximately
76,000 people, and the downtown occupancy of 2,000 people reaches about 9,000 people. This great increase in crowd sizes
accounts for double, even triple the trouble!

The Science of Love
As the Biology Department was searchiimg for two new professors With parti@ular research interests, two graduate
students from the University of Washingt@ip rose to the occasion to fill th@ge voids, fell in love with the campus, and
have been here ever since.
Specializing in molecular evolution and plant/algal genomes,and plant evolutionary genetics and ecology, respectively,
Drs. Stiller and Goodwillie confess that It is nice to have your best friend nearby when the going gets tough, or when
you want to share exciting news from a class or the laboratory. We donTt actually work together much on research or
teaching, though we have published a couple of papers together; those were fun experiences.� Aside from this, their
favorite thing to do together is taking the dogs for long walks in the country.
Love, and what feels like it, can be argued, by some, as the most exhilarating of all human emotions, as it is natureTs
way of keeping the human species alive and procreating. As an irresistible concoction of continuous chemicals known

boots is all you need to look good and keep dry! With rain
boots, we can afford to be trendy and happy, as well as
fabulously stylish!
Like the everyday essentials that a young collegiate woman
needs, rain boots should also be one to grace that list, as it is
one of the hottest and most useful trends. With a rubber
exterior completely water proof, they provide an affordable and
worry free alternative to maintain more fashionable suede and
leather boots against Mother NatureTs elements.
ECU Junior and Elementary Education Major Brittany Morton
explained how rain boots are not only useful to women across
all disciplines, but are also cute and comfortable. They (rain
boots) keep my pants from getting wet. I purchased them from
Target. It rains a lot here in Greenville, so they definitely come
in handy, as I have to walk from building to building to get to
all of my classes. I used to think that rain boots were just for
little kids, until I came to college and stepped in all of the
puddles!� said Morton.

that being a Pirate is a proud thing to publicize.

Within the borders of the United States, there are numerous colleges and universities to attend. Students from every state within America travel far
and wide to receive an education at the institution which best fits them. Who says that students from overseas cannot do the same?
Brandi Dudley, former ex officio and Assistant Director for Study Abroad in the International House, not only helped international students come to !
Eastern North Carolina and attend ECU, but also help American students travel abroad as well. Education. abroad is one of the best things to do at |
ECU,� she stated. I participated in a UNC-Exchange Program to Mannheim, Germany through East Carolina University in the Fall semester of 2004.
I enjoyed it immensely.� As an instrumental part of the International House, she will thoroughly be missed. I think I fit better in Latin American
culture as opposed to European culture. I am often shy but gregarious. While in Venezuela, I fell in love with a man that I met there: You never know |
what will happen abroad. International romances often occur. � 3
International exchange students Shihoko Matuse from Japan and Abdullah Abdul� Aldossari from Saudi Arabia share the same enthusiasm. I love
to give back to-and absorb information about American culture and communities,� Shihoko began. I chose ECU over UNC-Wilmington to study. I
love the environment here in Eastern North Carolina. Coming here was my first time entering the United States and I was nervous. Where I come
from, the Japanese faculty is very supportive of studying abroad. For me, it offers different analytical and personal perspectives. Due to the lack of ;
competence of some of the English professors in Japan, I want to become the best English teacher that I can. I also hope to discontinue the stigma
about Asians being horrible English speakers.�
A second year graduate student pursuing a PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology, to Abdul, Saudi Arabia 1s the place he calls home: I chose to study
here in the United States because it was the most advanced in the biomedical sciences, and the research is well supported. Also, one of my Saudi
Arabian professors graduated from ECU and he recommended it to me. I am a native Arabic speaker, and my second language is English. It feels
good when you can find someone who does not know anything about your language or country and you are able to educate them and provide the
correct information. In regards to Americans, I love how pets and sports are important parts of life and tradition. They are beneficial in many ways.
S After my time in America is finished, I wish to go back home and do research and teach.� d

An upbeat mixture of Hip-hop, Jazz, funk, Latin, and electronica, this nine-member assemblage was an artistic breath of fresh air that exhaled on
East Carolina University (ECU) on Friday, November 5 2010, a calm Friday evening. PresentedT by Arte sin Fronteras (Art without Borders), a
collaborative group hosted by ECU in conjunction with the Greenville Museum of Art, this concert transpired in an endeavor to celebrate Hispanic
Heritage Month.
With DJ Le Spam on turntables and sampler, José Tomas Diaz on timbales and lead-vocals, AJ Hill on the saxaphone, Mercedes Abal- on flute,
Chad Bernstein on trombone Jose Elias on electric guitar, Ted Zimmerman on the trumpet, Lazaro Alfonso on congas and bata, and José Elias on
the electric guitar, theseTartists were multi-instrumental and very talented.
Lhave been playing for two and a half years in Miami, but this is my first time here at ECU and it seems nice,� said trumpet player, Ted
Zimmerman,
José Tomas Dias, lead vocals and percussion, who has been playing with the band for 14 years and is originally from Cuba, affirmed Combining
African thythm, acidTjazz and hip-hop electric styles, I enjoy every show. I like what I do.�
Net even a third of the way through the performance, the crowd could not contain itself and became both inspired and provoked. Students and
faculty alike broke out in a rash of personal illustrations of their idiosyncratic admiration of the bandTs music. Some break-dancing and other
doing the salsa and merengue, Latin-style dances, the nine-piece band played on as groups danced in the aisles and fans accumulated around the
Stage to
cheer and sing.
Moving the crowd with their creative musical stylings, The Spam Allstars encompassed songs of rhythmic soul, contemporary jazz and ethnocentric
Afro-Cuban into their routine. Having a mid-performance harmonious horn trio with new-wave Cuban groove also helped the audience to moye
their feet and get out of their seats. I loved the concert,� said Michael Gross, History Professor. This was an opportunity for faculty and students
to have fun, and understand that great music comes from all over the world.�

It as true that being healthier will make you happier. LetTs face it. We all know that ~exercising is not only beneficial, but promotes
ey i healthy practices, and is often rewarding. Before, workouts were many things, more specifically repetitive, bland, and pointless ce
However, it has nesver t been widely known to be such an exhilarating experience... until now! "

Many people are ditching the workout and j joining the party as ~they are haoatiae fally cnoigedl 1 in Zita the fitness craze that is
sweeping the nation. If you love to dance, or even want to improve your dancing, then this program is 4 must try! This pecan is»
all about partying� yourself into shape. The students here at East Carolina are no exception to this Zumba fad.
Created by Alberto Beto� Perez, a Colombian native, in the early 1990s, Zumba incorporated iets Honal music into his aerobic
classes. He used personal, Latin music instead of the traditional aerobic tapes, and he improvised when he forgot the music for his
traditional aerobic tapes. It wasnTt long after he established this workout style that it was 4 major hit!
fiat
As the only dance fitness program of its kind, notarized for blending red-hot global tunes, these high-energy, calorie-burning
workout routines are inspired by traditional Latin dance moves and engage the entire body in spouts of cardio, resistance, strength
and toning training with music at its core. Featuring exotic rhythms set to energetic, festive beats, participants often forget that
they are getting fit as their energy. levels escalate. Borrowing moves from popular dance styles, to Cumbia, Merengue, Cha-Cha-Cha,
Reeeacion Tango, Hop-hop and Flamenco, students usually burn an average of between 600 and 1000 calories per class.
This fitness program encompasses routines featuring interval training sessions where fast and slow Soihise progressions are
intertwined.to tone and sculpt the body as it 1s relinquishing fat. With international zest and inspiring flavor, anyone can
.. 1 Participate, as the classes are designed for al] levels and age ranges of participants, as well as daricers and non dancers alike
Many students love to feel the buns as their DSN and Jolanta muscles are~tightened and toned. Tamette Farrington, srdadie
student in the Department of Counseling and Adult Education was a weekly regular, as she attended all of the classes. I love to
do organized dance,� she began. Plus it's such a warm and friendly environment to just get loosé, let it all out, and have a good
workout at the same time. Every Thursday I really look forward to Zumba...seriously lol it keeps me in the gym. After a long day
~ of work sitting in a office and 1 in class all day, I am able to move ~around and have fun. For those who are in Zumba they know
Ty that we really have our own party in there every Thursday.� Sadly, TametteTs grandmother passed from heart disease, and most of
her family members are either diabetic, or have passed away due to heart disease, I am aware that most diseases stem from the lack
of exercise and unhealthy eating habits. I love how my body looks now and I want to maintain it*not just for the looks but
because I am able to move, walk, run, kick, and jump whenever I want, I am healthy and I feel healthy which is a great feeling and
a sense of peace. The way I look at it you either pay now, feel good and have fun doing it or pay later through doctor and
insurance bills..I'll take the first one. People stop being lazy! If you want a chance at longevity on this earth be mindful of what
you eat and take action! All food is bad for you! Everything we put into our body has some chemical in it, and most chemicals
a 7 Speed 10s : have toxins. There are some foods that do not have chemicals but the chemicals that are in our body sometimes can still make

_what we eat a toxin, once digested. So that means what we put in we MUST put out! Fiber in our diet 1s a must. We can get these
afl : s : . chemicals out through what we eat, wheat (bread, oatmeal), veggies (raw spinach, ae broccoli), sil fruit (apple, grapes, plums)
Soh es and most of all by what ~we DO. I am of age now where | understand how a 8-5 shift sitting at a computer, all day can have you
2 Bd ee vat feeling like doing nothing but the key is to find something you ENJOY doing! Find something that is competitive and is a
oe * Sa es ae challenge. It becomes. easier to do when you establish a routine, having a partner fs motivating as well. We must be aware of the
Ze te minor things that impact our health. For example, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking in the back, speed walking,
decreasing our sweets intake such as candy and s6das, and being mindful of our caloric intake when we eat, how much we eat, and -

Bilingualism, as ¥ relates corthe Hueucs of hotk a English nid Soman Bhptases is if porab to many of eee a in he Eastern North Carolina
community.
In a seminar entitled Sentir, imaginar, escribir, To feel, to imagine, to write, students ard faculty alike gathered in a Bate Building classroom on 14
March 2011 for a cfeative writing workshop.
Verlissa Mason, ~a Junior PsycHology major minoring in Hispanic Studies said I chose to attend the writing workshop because I think it's
Important, to be able to express yourself through writing in any and every language you learn and speak. Bilingualism is important to me because
the Country doesn't speak one language anymore. The Hispanic population 1s growing every day and it's a useful tool to be able to communicate
with them. And also gince I'm half Puerto Rican [thought it would be awesome to be able to speak with my Hispanic family with ease. I gained
some insight on how better to describe things that I may encounter in life. I also learned a lot of new words that I didn't know before.�
A double major in Biology iid Hispanic Studies, Amber Heckart enjoyed the workshop as well. I truly enjoyed the creative writing workshop
Presented by Lidia Rissotto. She is a very talented writer and inspired me to try a new writing style in Spanish. I would like to begin reading some
of her works. I have never had any previous experience with, creative writing in Spanish. It was a good opportunity to expand upon my current
Spanish writing skills. Ms. Rissotto taught me some new techniques that I-hope to use in my future writing assignments.�
Students and faculty members learned specific vocabulary building and usage techniques useful for nearly any writing task.
Conducted solely if Spanish, Argentine award winning writer Lidia Risotto presented a hands-on creative work shop for students in various
departments. After a brief introduction to the writing process, Risotto touched upon specific techniques in order to aidTin the enhancement of
sensorial aspects of short story writing. At the conclusion of the workshop, everyone was afforded the opportunity to explore their innér writer.

Students gathered, dressed to impress for the 2011 Career Fair that collected different companies and associates
together to interact with ambitious students in hopes of filling positions that relate to their degrees and
majors. |
Throughout the tri-folds, displays and sample pamphlets, people were intermingling with different companies:
Goca-Cola, Disney, Aflac, Norment Security, Aramark, Aerotek, Sanderson Farms, among others including
military branches and police stations.
Sophomore and business major Gerrick Hilliard wandered through the demonstrations looking to find new
opportunities.
The career fair serves as a great medium foremployers and potential employees to meet,� said Hilliard.
Aflac representative, ~Stephen Stox, explained that companies are looking to fill internship and. beginning job
positions. Stox was looking for students who are willing to learn and are agmbitious.
This is a-great way for students to start off with an internship and later down the road, lead-to a career after
their degree is completed,� said Stox.
Timothy Smith, a junior majoring in managenient information systems, also drew a great.benefit from the
career fair.
It was an easy way to find out what companies can use my.degree and skills and what companies cannot,�
said Smith. E
Among the several other companies, the four branches of the United States Military were-also there. Chief
Cryptologic Technician (Collection) Jennifér Hawkes explained that a lot of people avoid military asTa choice
because of the misconception that the slightest interest will havé them in boot camp the next day.
The military provides a way for people toTpay for college while getting their degree then agreeing to enlist
after the completion of their higher education,� said Hawkes. We just want people to remember that the
military is always an option.� :

When coming to college, it is customary for students to live in. a dormitory? The new experience! The excitement! The thoughts
of meeting new friends! On campus living has a lot.to offer students. After all of the glitz and glamour wars away, students
often tire of campus living and want more freedom than residence halls will allow: They often turn to another alternative, off
campus living.
On Wednesday, 16 March 2011, East CarolinaTs Off-Campus Student a 3s Unit Bac its annual Housing Fair for those
interested in-off -campus. living accommodations:TFor a few hours at the Mendenhall Student Center Brickyard, there was a

GreenvilleTs most popular student-friendly communities. Each property invited students to come and tour their locations,
offering options for students to meet with property. managers on sight:

to Kéep students engaged. From Copper Beech Townhomes to The Province, to Pirates Cove, students. had many options to
Choose from. WithTsomething different.at each property, students did not hesitate to come out and partake in all that was being
offered: Meredith Dillon, Senior Double-Major in Communications and Hispanic StudiesT is a current resident of The Bellamy.
They are nice apartments that are reasonably priced,� she stated.'I came to the housing fair to see what-others were offering,
and also»to take home a bag of free guilt free goods.�
Campus agencies, to include Career Services, ECU Dining Services, and the ECU Police Department wereT represented as well,
with the Off-Campus Student Servicés group being the host.
According to Lucia Brention, OCSS Coordinator, Off-Campus Student Services provides one stop shop� forum through which

One performer had green hair and danced to hardcore heavy metal, while
other performers wore dresses and dropped it low. A week before the
amateur drag queens performed, Michaels put them through a boot
Camp�. In this boot camp, they were critiqued on things that they
needed to work on. One of the performers said that simple advice like:

Have you ever taken a leap. into ice cold waters in the middle of '
January? Annually, many brave Pirates dare to take the frigid plunge.�
It's a challenge to make myself jump in but I love the rush I get
waiting in line to go,� said sophomore Haley Pierson. The Polar Bear
Plunge is an annual tradition for East Carolina students to start the
spring semester. | )
The Polar Bear Plunge, which started in 1997 as part of the Grand
Opening celebration. for Campus Recreation and Wellness, is an annual
event during which students brave the frigid January weather to jump
into the freezing water of the outdoor swimming pool at the rec center,
The first year, 35 people participated. Marking the 15th year of the
Polar Bear Plunge, there was a record-breaking 958 participants who
plunged into the frigid water this year.
A strong Pirate tradition that never fails to stir up some school spirit.
I'm freezing my nipples off but it's too fun to miss,� said sophomore -
Mark Wroblewski. Every year more and more students gather to
partake in the event, keeping the tradition going strong. Shiver me
timbers, indeed.

The.improv group
-.'SwashT performs some T
hilarious acts at The
Tipsy Teapot.
Some of ECU's most talented and comical students perform at The Tipsy Teapot every
Thursday night, simply to put a smile on peopleTs faces. This improv group goes by the name
of Swash, which consists of about ten to fifteen people. Swash does all their improv in short
form, meaning they take about five minutes to perform scenes within organized games.
During their performances, the audience hysterically laughs during the entire time. The
spontaneity of the performance is what their audience seems to enjoy most.
Avid Swash fan and ECU student, Stacy Walsh, has been coming to The Tipsy Teapot every
week for the past four years to watch this group perform acts.
I love coming to watch Swash because they are clever, witty, and not to mention hilarious!�
said Walsh.
What makes this group even more dynamic is that they get all their suggestions from the
audience. As the spectators shout out suggestions, each Swash member quickly thinks of a
scene and in a matter of 30 seconds they have everyone laughing.
In light of moments where they mess up or say something corny, Swash has created a
tradition in which everyone yells SQUID!� and then HIYAH� to slice the air. Upon this
exclamation, they transfer topics to something new.
ECU senior, Jared Waters, who also partakes in Serious Clowning� which is a sketch and
stand up comedy group, says he has been a comedian for the past five years. Improv is a fun
way to act crazy and get people to laugh,� said Waters.
Since 2002 Swash has been making people laugh and helping relieve the stress of academics
on students. Each Thursday they have performed and will continue to do so for years to
come.

With thirteen students only practicing two times a week, the percussion ensemble at ECU
still managed to put on amazing performances for students and faculty. They have
approximately three formal concerts each semester arid on February 3rd,-2011 they had
their first performance of the semester, a great way to start the year. The percussion
ensemble is a chamber ensemble specializing in music composed exclusively for percussion
instruments. This group is one of the many music groups with in the school of music.
They play. music in-all styles like contemporary art music, ethnic ensemble, pop, jazz etc. It
is a selected ensemble group, which is only open by audition and is primarily intended for
upper level graduates and graduate students. It is specifically for music majors whose
concentration ~1s percussion. Dr. Jonathan Wacker, the director of the ensemble, has been
working for the School of Music for the past twelve years. Dr. Wacker was elated by his
studentsT flawless performance. The proud look on his face showed his excitement in. his
protegées. The students performed many pieces but what was interesting about thém was
that each piece gave the audience a different feeling. At times it was dreary, gloomy, and
dark, then immediately changed to a piece that was upbeat, happy and pier BS was a
show unlike any other,
Some students were there for a class requirement and some were there for just there for
entertainment. Allyson Ennet had to write a paper about the performance for her music
appreciation class. It was better then I expected, so I~mTso glad my professor made us
come. It was an overall great performance,� she said.
Other students were there for support. Jacob Fatty, a freshman at ECU, was tise to
support his roommate Devon Adams. Fatty said, I like coming to-watch*my friend
perform because I love music! -I also like the fact that it isa: more student oriented group,
so itTs feally nice to see the talent that these students have to offer�. ~
The show-consisted of a mini act in the beginning, followed by three students playing the
drums directly in front of the audience. Everyone in the crowd loved the direct interaction.
One special student, David Miles, played a fifteenTminute piece all by memory. On top of
that he was using four mallets instead of two. It was simply amazing. Miles ended the
=, Performance and received a five minute standing ovation ftom the audience, The whole
Soper ormance from the ensemble was breath taking and it was evidentTafter the show, that -
there are some talented musicians at ECU.

Spring Break can either be-a time of relaxation, a time toT | =
catch up on studies, or a time just to have fun! While some, =
students escapedto the beach, others relaxed -at home while
eating home cooked meals. Sophomores Ivona Spady and
Kelsey Anderson decided to do something a little different.
and adventurous for spring break. They went on a mini-toad
trip, traveling to different parts. of Georgia, Virginia Béach,
Atlanta and Norfolk Virginia. They had a chance to explore
each city.and college town, and even were able to tour some
other schoolTs fraternity houses. They experienced - the
sorority life,�yeven though they are not sisters of a sorority
themselves, and attend socials and fundraisers.. One of their
favorite. things they did was celebrate Fat Tuesday: inj,
downtown Athens. A couple days. later they went to a parade.
and all-day party for St. PatrickTs Day. Even though they had
to go to so many-places and do many different things in a
small amount of time, they both exclaimed they had an,
awesome road trip! Spady: said, My favorite part of the trip
was just being:free to explore a new place and new people,
and experience a different setting. I loyed trying new things,
foads, ways of life; and a long car ride! It was a very telaxing
yet exciting and fun spring break.�

On February 27th; E@U.had its 2011 Spring Service Fair in the great rooms in Mendenhall. With over 30 different nonprofit organizations
handing out pamphlets and information, students were grateful for this event. ECU student, Savannah Black said The service fair was educational
and convenient. 1 know now what hands on opportunities I have. ItTs better to volunteer and give back physically instead of just donating a dollar
here and there.� :
The purpose of this fair was to. engage students in effective service-learning activities so they may strengthen their community, promote an
enduring commitment to civic responsibility, and enhance their academic experience. James Crouch-talked about the factTthat heT énjoyed his time
at-the service fair because it allowed himT to broaden his knowledge. It also showed him what opportunities he has when it comes to. giving back.to
the community: From the Greenvillé Food Bank, to Literacy VolunteersT, to The Hope Lodge American Catiter Society, and adoption agencies for
animals; groups from all areas came to support.
Sate Organizations are taking action and are ready to gather students in order to make a difference in the Greenville community. Most of the
,-peoplethere that were trying to get more volunteersT said they felt thankful for this opportunity. to.spread awareness at ECU. Caroline,Stallings, a
worker at the Tar River Center, a place where children with: special needs can have fun and live a happy life, said, I think this volunteer and
service learning day is an important aspect of learning and giving back to the community. Students need to learn how to apply the knowledge they.
learn in school and use it to give back to the community. They can benefit it in other.ways.as-well network.� She also explained that students who
7 9 -are in nursing, pre-med or.social work can benefit immensely. from volunteering at the Tar River Center because they will be working with people
x that they normally would not interact withTon a daily basis.
Whether students want to get involved with volunteering to further their career, to simply better themselves, or to improve their community, the
Pirate Service Learning Fair was a very helpful way for adolescents at ECU to learn how to get involved.

Practicing a different terete can be see difficult at times, ees il for
foreign exchange students or those students adapting to new envitonments where
there is a language barrier. In order to better their language skills, practice outside
the classroom is completely necessary. One student, Abigail Leake, who is working
on her masters in International Studies, noticed a problem within ECUTs language
program where she was not gétting enough practice outside the classroom.
Consequently, she decided to make a program specifically for students that were
trying to. improve their second language. She came up with the idea for the bears
Language Exchange Program. Not only would it help students swith Weer language %

The crowd becomes engaged as the
mistress of Menaechmus has
mistaken the brothers' identities,
due to their physical likeness,
setting the premise for the play.
Sponsored by the Program in Classical Studies and the Center for
Student Leadership and Civic Engagement, The Brothers
Menaechmus tells the story of a set of twin brothers who were
Separated at age seven. During its three night run from 28 January to
30 January, students laughed and enjoyed this modernized rendition
of one of the greatest plays in Classical History written by
Plautus John Given, PhD, Classics department, offered his opinion
a the play. The Brothers Menaechmus was a tale of the mistaken
identity of two twins separated as children. Everyone in the city
mistakes one for the other and no one can figure out why confusion
Teigns. ItTs also, quietly, about social class. The smart characters in
the play are the lower-class characters. In the end, itTs the slave who
Solves the problem and reunites the brothers, and is rewarded with
his freedom. Finally, itTs about how we perceive the people around
Hs. That's one of the reasons why I wanted to have twins who looked
absolutely nothing alike. The audience had to imagine that the other
characters were seeing something that they themselves were not. I
think it really made people realize how much or how little we really

It was a perfect day for a perfect storm on
deck, Pirate Fest was swarmed with the mates
of a thousand seas, also known as Eastern
North Carolina. Being home to the East
Carolina Pirates, it only seems fitting to
celebrate that by Uptown Greenville hosting its
annual Pirate Fest.
On April 9th, 2011, blocks and streets were
lined with locals, people of similar regions,
students, faculty, and of course vendors.
Vendors and local businesses took the Pirate
Fest as an opportunity to showcase what they
have to offer to community members. It was a

Ocracoke Island to partake in the festivities.
Booths showcased art, food, crafts, and much
more. Demonstrations of shooting off canons
into the Tar River took place while bearded
scallywags told children stories. A display
consisted of weaponry replicas and added to
the sense of seeing what pirate life was like
centuries ago.
Because Pirate Fest is an annual event, it gave
everyone something to look forward to each
year. It was easy to witness the atmosphere, as
adults seemed to get back in touch with their
inner childhood, regaining a sense of high
anticipation and remembering their first time
hearing about icons such as Blackbeard the
Pirate. Children scurried about with painted
faces, eager to board to inflatable ships and
walk. the plank. Dueling engagements were
made in the intersections of the streets, raising
eyebrows, and inviting chants and hollering
enlightened the overall experience.

This was a great way for
students to practice
performing and especially
work with professional
dancers.

Dancers from the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC) lined the stage to start their dress rehearsal for the
recital they performed with ECU and Pitt County High School students February 23, 2011.
The event was put together with the help of G.D. Harris, co manager of DCDC, rehearsal coach and dancer and Debbie
Blunden Diggs, artistic director, as well as with the ECU school of dance. The recital consisted of four pieces that were
accompanied by a choir and live musicians.
One DCDC dancer, Sherri Sparkle� ~Williams has been practicing the craft for 38 years. After dancing with several
companies in different states, Williams landed at DCDC in Ohio. Dancing is incredibly cathartic, it has gotten me
through family deaths and other personal struggles,� said Williams.
Williams and fellow dancer Lamoi Hedrington shared a dance while the choir sang His Eye Is On the Sparrow.
Hedrington is from the Virgin Islands, where the art of dance was not as embraced as other crafts. Hedrington grew up
with a hip-hop dancing mother that he admired. Since dance wasnTt a commonT~hobby in the Virgin Islands, Hedrington
participated in baton twirling, gymnastics and gospel choir.
Hedrington traveled to Atlanta, Georgia where he graduated from the Dekalb School of the Arts in 2005. He met the
dancers of DCDC and Michael Gary, an associate with DCDC, in Cinncinnatt. T thought their style was so fierce, I
knew that was the kind of dancing I wanted to do,� said Hedrington.
Several other dancers madeup the company including Adam Crain and Heather Bayley. Both dancers met in Michigan
whileT attending college then eventually continued on to dance for DCDC. Crain and Bayley have been dating for several
years now, sharing their passion for dance and each other.
Some of the dancers attended the Jeraldine School of Dance, which is the dance school that directly associates with
DCDC.This recital was-a way for professional dancers to interact with young admirers that aspire to their greatness.

ASL (American Sign Language) users united from various parts of North
Carolina to witness the comedic work of Keith Wann. Among the
audience members were CODAs (Children Of Deaf Adults), deaf and hard
of hearing individuals, interpreters, ASL students, and first time ASL
spectators.
Keith appealed to his audience by using ASL to communicate and, to
visually enhance his life experiences'as a Child of Deaf Adults. His act was
voiced by one of his fellow comedians, Fernando, who also greatly
provoked laughter from the audience in his opening.
The audience delivered many guffaws, and their hands danced in the air
throughout Keith and FernandoTs episode, displaying a strong appreciation
and enjoyment of the evening. Each of KeithTs stories hosted a clear but
subtle insight into the world of deaf culture.

Ci ehts leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his dream of equality. Whether it
meansigpending that day spreading awareness of inequality and diversity or serving the community,
O "Over the United States gather together to celebrate the life and achievements of Martin
\lphas ho ted a very inspiring and educational event. ECU student, Ivan Montanez said, I am
Hispanic so coming to this event meant a lot to me. It made me realize everything that I have in
life, like the opportunities I am given on a daily basis because of what Martin Luther King and his
followers did. Because of the people that fought for the civil rights movement, I can live my life
freely even though I am Hispanic and my parents migrated from Puerto Rico.�
The program started off with pictures of Martin Luther King Jr. followed by a speaker by the name
of Cole Jones. Jones led the student panel discussion. The panel was full of various races, so many
different people, all together for the same cause: all wanting to be educated about Martin Luther
King JuniorTs dream. It proved that even though he is not physically with us, his dream lives on
forever. The panel was an inspiring way for students to really open up about the issue.
Overall, the event was a huge success; there were even people in the audience that had questions for
Kevin Powell. Powell is an activist, writer, public speaker entrepreneur, and recently, a 2010
democratic candidate for congress in Brooklyn New York. Since he had just written a book, Open
Letters to America, the Alphas thought there was no better way to raise money than to have a raffle
drawing. Whoever won received an autographed copy of Kevin PowellTs book. One of the alphas,
Carlos Irias said, It was a great way toTend our program. After people heard Kevin speak they
immediately wanted his book. His words were just that powerful.
Irias explained how special this event was to him in saying, I think Martin Luther King Day
should not just be celebrated once a year, it should be celebrated everyday.�

Within every department, thereareTspecificationsfor outstanding students. The Biology department is no.exception.to this rule. The
Undergraduate Honors Society for Biology-students (Beta Beta Beta, or more simplyIri-Beta) primarily promotes the value and
goals of undergraduate research at academic institutions both across and around the United States. Not only is it dedicatedTto
improving the understanding and Appreciation in all aspects of scfentific research, but it also promotes-activities that,stimiulate
initerest, scholarly attainment, and thetinvestigation of the biological sciences.
Dz.ykee Sutton, Assistant Professor, serves as the faculty advisor for the organization. The opportunity for Biology students to get
" togethery-discuss courses, have social activities outside academics and have the opportunity to find out and.participate in
- I undergraduate research at ECU,� Sutton said. Not only do'sttidents gain the opportunity to become better acquainted with the
faculty of the department, but they have extra insight in regards to reseatch opportunities around the world. Active Tri-Beta
members are nationally recognized as honor students in their field (Biology) and�are also very outstanding students.�
Presidents Samantha Bowersox and Samantha Mandel shared their thoughts arid Views.on what it was like to~lead an organization
of such outstanding future scientists. This organization means a lot to me, Sara Bowersox, Senior Biology major with a Nutrition
minor said. It is the chance not to only explore biology opportunities but share them.with others. It is a great club that both
motivates and promotes undergraduate research and volunteer to work within the East Carolina community. �

A newfound organization within the College of Technology and Computer
Sciences, WICAT, is setting the bar for students who are willing to attempt to
build a window of opportunity.
The purpose of Women in Construction and Technology 1s to give
opportunities to women in the construction major and related technologies
through community service, hands-on experience and networking within the
community,� said ECU junior and founder of WICAT, Stephanie Nieslon.
Her aspirations in creating this organization were to enhance the industry by
promoting and educating women in the field. She explained her goals due to
the immense amount of resentment women experience in the construction
management division.
I donTt understand the resentment, but I guess that is just the way it is. I
assume itTs because we're the minority, but I donTt think that warrants us being
treated differently,� she said.
As founder and president of the WICAT at East Carolina University, Stephanie
is just one outstanding example of how many Pirates are striving to better
themselves and those around them. Being motivated to take a stand for what
they believe in, tostrive endlessly for their goals no matter how unattainable
_they may seem}.and to realize that anything is possible is what keeps many
Pirates focuséd»on their futures?T
WICAT is~affiliated with The National Association of Women in Construction
(NAWIG), which is a world wide organization that works towards
opportunities and education for women in the field. Breaking boundaries,
these women in construction are a single example of students paving their own
road. to success.

On January 28th, Dr. Kathleen A. Knafl, Associate Dean for Research and the Frances Hill Fox Distinguished Professor, School of Nursing,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, delivered the keynote address over lunch. Following a brief overview of the purposes of qualitative
injury, in this presentation I describe different stances regarding criteria for evaluating qualitative reports. Commonly accepted criteria (importance,
appropriateness, coherence, clarity, ethical conduct) are identified. The presentation addresses what readers might reasonably expect from a qualitative
report as well as how to judge the relative merits of what is presented.� Breakout sessions included Data Analysis Techniques by Tracy VanHollt,
Christine Avenarius on the Power of Mixed Method Designs, Creating Rigorous Products of Qualitative Research by Drs. Beth Velde and Sharon
Knight, and Journal Editors, pis ese led by Dr. Kathleem Knafl, with Dr. Jim Mitchell, Dr. Annette Greer, and Dr. David Griffith as

The 2010 Pirate football season brought itTs traditional. purple and gold fans, extreme excitement and impressive competition.
~The 2010 campaign also brought a great deal of change. The Pirates.found new leaders in. head coach-Ruffin McNeil and
quarterback Dominique Davis. The new addition to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, fondly referred to as the bone-yard,� served as
- another new piece to the Pirate football puzzle.
-ECU was proud to welcome home head coach and Pirate alum, Ruffin McNeil. McNeil faced the challenge of his new position
by instilling a never say die� approach to Pirate football, which he describes as a physical, tough, and smart football attitude.�
McNeil and his coaching staft.attacked. the 2010 season with an emphasis*in aggressive play.
Pirate football also welcomed a new quarterback in Dominique Davis; who, despite his lack of experience, pulled:through for the
Pirate Nation and contributed greatly in ECUTs six season wins and in helping the Pirates make it to their fifth consecutive bowl "
game.
One of the most memorable moments in the 2010 Pirate football season was ECUTs heart stopping, over-timeT win against
longtime rival NC State University, 33-27.
ECUTs 2010 campaign came to a close with the Military Bowl in Washington DEyvhere they fell to the Maryland Terps 51-20,
eh
The Pirates finished the season with a total record 6f 6-7, and 5-3 in Conference USA.

Living up to his name; senior linebacker Dustin Lineback proved to be
ECUTs. defensive player to look-out for during the 2010 season. A true
Cinderella story, Lineback earned a walk-on position for the Pirates
football team in 2007.T Through perseverance and determination
ylineback worked his way up on the team, making impressive tackles
and smart plays to defend Pirate territory. After battling through a
PCL injury in 2009, Lineback continued to push forward and tacked
his senior season with greater force than ever. In the 2010 season,
Lineback recorded -his greatest statistical year since joining ECU's
program. Although, ECU. defense was ~highly criticized, Lineback was
one of the few reliable contributors to Pirate defense. He lead Pirate
defensé in every statistical catégory except sacks. He also secured a
personal honor by being nominated for the Rudy Award, which
recognizes exceptional walk-on:stoties in college sports.
An inspiring story, person and athlete, Dustin LinebackTs name will

On several occasions; Dwayne Harris has appeared to defy the laws of

a fierce sense of skill and agility, and when halted by a defender, he
keeps his head up and shakes off the shock in the manner of a true
Pirate. These skills have helped-him to mesmerize football fans across
the country.
A star athlete to say the least, Dwayne Harris has spent his collegiate
career breaking records and impressing even some of the most critical
judges. Awarded the 2010 MVP of Conference USA, Harris was the
first non-quarterback everto receive this particular honor. With stats to,
back this award-winning athlete, Harris snatched TOlreceptions, ,
coveréd 1,123 yards, and secured 10 touchdowns in the 2010 season
alone. Harris hopes this is only the beginning of what could be a
promising future in football. Se

Norway who was 16-6 in his single matches and was 16-11 in his double matches when he was paired with Henrik Skalmerud. In the
fall of 2010 Skalmerud wasT13-12 for his single matches. Dye to.the majority of the team being underclassmen, the next few years
should be successful-as the players will continue to grow and improve together. ~

This year has been a historic year in Pirate basketball under the command of Jeff Lebo. The Pirates ended up with an 18
and 16 season with key wins over Memphis, UTEP. and UCEF. Also, with LeboTs first season he lead the pirates to their first
post season appearance in 18 years and their first-ever win in the Conference USA tournament.
The Pirates were led by a core of seniors that included Conference USA 6th Man of The YearT Brock Young who fought
Knee injures throughout the season. The senior class also included Chad Wynn, Jontate Sherrod and Jamar Abrams. These
four seniors helped motivate their team to overcomeT struggles and get the Pirate Nation excited about basketball. This year
the attendance was at a high, recording 3 of the highest game attendance numbers in the history of Minges andT the average
attendance went increased 3,718 to 5,450 people per game. © This winning season, helped show that ECU could have a
competitive basketball team and proved that we can compete with the top schools in our conference. Coach Lebo and his
staff are continuing to improve this basketball team in the off-season and ty are hoping to progress even more then they
did last year and bring home another winning term and maybe even.a Conference USA Championship.

THe Dance Team, a talented group of 22 young ladies, participates in dancing for football, basketball and baseball seasons each
year. Their season is basically all year, running from August- May and requires a lot of commitment.
Beginning in August, they prepare for football season in which they are a part of the ECU marching band. We take part in
Band Camp before school is in session to learn material for games. During football season we practice Monday, Tuesday, Friday
and add in a Wednesday practice once in a while. This year we had a very exciting football season, after winning the NC State
game we went on to a bowl game in D.C to face Maryland,� said senior and ECU Dance Team captain, Alice Fair. Most of the
girls on the team come from a strong dance background, including competing for several,years. During the fall season the team
requires the ladies to stay in shape, but also requires them to participate in 6am workouts twice a week in the Murphy Center
Es
with trainérs.
Once basketball season begins the team practices up to 4 times a week. The ladiesTdance for all home men and women games,
and for the past few years they have been competing in NDA College Cheer and Dance Nationals. We usually begin
practicing in the winter during basketball season and then we practice every day until nationals, which are ~held.in April in
Daytona Beach, Florida,�Tsaid Fair. .When baseball season starts, sometimes they have overlapping games including 2 basketball
games followed by a baseball game. The ladies are one of the few teams inTthe nation to dance during baseball: season, and
during the baseball games, the ladies are called the ECU Diamond Dancers because they dance on the dugouts. The captains
split the team in half and assign equal games to each team. !
Once nationals practices begin, the team puts in a lot of hours trying to perfect their dances. This year, the Dance Team
competed with two dances, and their hip-hop routine was actually choreographed by a former member of the team, Brittiney
Wall, who is an Atlanta Falcons Cheerleader. The competition was really difficult this year but we gave it our all and. came out
happy knowing that we did the best we could,� said Fair. Bo
Not only did the ECU Dance Team put on dazéling performances throughout the year, but they also participated in many
appearances and fundraisers throughout the Pirate community.

Greek Life is growing. �
to be or not to be
Aside from the traditional, widely-notarized fraternities and sororities in both the Pan-Hellenic and National Pan-Hellenic Councils, organizations bringing together
students from other ethnic diversities fall under the umbrella of the Multicultural Greek Council, or MGC. The purpose of the MGC is to uniteTmulticultural and
culturally based fraternities and sororities and serve the needs of multicultural Greeks. On 12 January 2011, East Carolina University held its first ever Multicultural
Greek Invitational. Hosting organizations included Lambda Theta Alpha Sorority, Inc., Sigma Omicron Epsilon Sorority, Inc., and also Iota Nu Delta Fraternity, Inc.
Ps
*
The Multicultural Greek Council serves as a governing body that creates and maintains high standards in the lives. of culturally-based fraternities and sororities by
upholding higher education, voluntarily providing various services to the surrounding communities, improve leadership, address, manage, and create strategic
programming and also to unify organizations involved in the Multicultural Greek Council. In addition to this, it also establishes a sense of community both
internally within the Greek community, as well as externally in the surrounding communities. �
Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc., founded in December of 1975 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey provides social and cultural activities, as well as
carries out educational programs. To Promoting leadership and maintaining high academic standards, this organization serves as a voice for the Latino/a community.
Latin by tradition and not by definition,� President Amanda Mutio, ECU Sophomore and intended Nursing Major feels A sorority is a sisterhood where we all
share a common goal. Our primary goal is to help the community and provide social and cultural activities; as well as carry on charitable and educational programs.
Everyone is accepted into our sisterhood. Because I love the principles of this organization, which are unity, love and respect, my sisterhood means a lot to me, as |
am a member of the founding line. My sisters are like a family to me, and I know that we have created lifelong friendships. I can even count on them for anything,
and they know that they can count on me. Even when times get tough, we stick together and can overcome anything. I like being Greek because it shows ECU,that
there is more diversity than one would expect. We embrace culture and are a fairly new organization on campus. The foundation of the MGC at ECU also. shows that
Providing a sisterhood based on unity, love and respect, these lovely ladies develop strong leaders who aim to provide political; social and cultural activities that
/ promote community and cultural diversity arid awareness. Jazmine Mufioz, Sophomore; double major in Athletic Training and Health Education, and Founding
Sister #7 of the sorority claims I chose Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated because not only did I fall in love with the principles and purpose but with
it reaching out to my cultural side, it made me feel like J belonged there. To be-in a Greek organization, it means-to be a part of something bigger than yourself that
at the end of the day, the goal is to help others who need it most. A Greek organization is considered your family away from home with a group of people that
you've created a lifelong bond with. The best part of being Greek has to be the family you gain away from home because it is a nationwide organization; therefore you
have family everywhere across the nation. Also, being Greek 1s being a part of bigger something than yourself that benefits your community and those who may need

Avcording to Farman Usman, Paradigm 351,� Iota Nu Delta Fraternity, Inc., I am a Psychology major and am minoring in Pre-Med studies. I am :
a sophomore and was a founding member of this colony. Being Greek allows you to have more connections with all of the different types of people racy:

parallel mine. Iota Nu DeltaTs official philanthropies are the South Asian Marrow Association of Recruiters (SAMAR), which is a subsidiary of the
Saconal Marrow Donor Progen MDD so we are definitely an Souep zation that believes in giving back to the community as much as possible.

Have you ever been interested in learning more about Greek Life at East
Carolina? Have you ever wondered what the Divine Nine is, or want to
meet the members of those fraternities and sororities personally? All you
have to do is show up at the annual Meet the Greeks event and talk to
Tierini Hodges. Hundreds of students attended the event, which was
held in Hendrix Theater in the Mendenhall Student Center on August
28. After listening to an introductory talk about the National Pan-
Hellenic Council and Greek life, the students went on a timed rotation
between rooms where the Divine Nine� gave informative presentations.
After they finished presenting facts about their group, the Greeks
allowed students time to ask questions about Greek life and their
sorority or fraternity in particular. The students then had their card
stamped, and cards from students who collected stamps from all of the
sororities or fraternities were entered in prize drawings. The event was
great for students who intend to go Greek or just want to know more
about the experience and the process, as well as beneficial for parents
who have questions or concerns about their Pirate going Greek.

For the past eleven years, Alpha Phi has had their annual Heart Throb Charity Event. This year, Heart
Throb 2011� was a huge success. During the month of February each year, the members of Alpha Phi
kidnap fraternity members and bring them back to their sorority house. Usually the fraternity brothers
know what is about to happen but this year, a couple of the guys had no clue what was going on which
made the event even funnier. Before the guys were kidnapped and taken to the Alpha Phi house, the
sorority members dressed them up like a girls on campus. The fraternity guys were wearing everything
from makeup to dresses. Some guys were even forced to wear heels! It was a hysterical publicity stunt�
as Alpha Phi sister Kristina Williamson described it. Once they were kidnapped and playfully tortured,
the Alpha PhiTs brought their ~prisonersT back to their house and ate pizza, listened to music, and played
Twister.
This year Alpha Phi members kidnapped guys from twelve different fraternities. Once all the Frat Boys
were kidnapped and held hostage, their frat brothers had to bail them out by donating at least $50. A
couple days after they kidnapped the boys, Alpha Phi members set up a booth in Wright Plaza. They
stood outside with jars for each fraternity that participated. Students around campus could help bail the
brothers out by giving donations to the Alpha Phi Foundation. Alpha Phi hosts a social for the
fraternity that raises the most money for the foundation. After the event is over each year, the girls make
t-shirts with all the local businesses and fraternities that donated to their national philanthropy and
helped make the event a success.Not only did Heart Throb bring the Greek Community together, but it
also raised money for a wonderful cause that supports heart health for women. All Proceeds went
towards the Alpha Phi Foundation, which facilitates cardiac care. Their foundation, which all sisters hold
close to their heart, empowers women to be generous givers to their community. Alpha PhiTs Vice
President, Kristina Williamson, said the Alpha Phi foundation is geared toward women cardiac care,
scholarships, and sisters in need.�

Three years ago East Carolina UniversityTs NPHC decided to start a blood drive competition during
the month of February in-order to celebrate Black history Month. The American. Red Cross saw
such a great turn out with this event, that they turned this blood drive into a competition. Year
after year this blood drive competition continues to be a success. The Greek Organizations that are
under NPHC hosted this yearTs Blood drive Competition along with the American Red Cross. This
blood drive specifically is geared toward minority groups ina regional wide competition with other
universities across North Carolina and Virginia including Old Dominion University, The University
of Virginia, William and Mary and many more.
President of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Michael Jarrett, believes this blood drive is vital for
minorities. Jarrett said, It is important to donate minority blood because minorities receive their
own races blood more easily. An African American will receive another African American's blood
more easily than a Caucasians. And this seems to apply to all races.� In 2009 ECU held the record
_ for 89 pints of minority blood. This year their goal was to get at least 70 pints of minority blood.
BCU successfully reached their goal and will continue to do so each year-with the help of students.
Some students in attendance spoke of how they had been donating bloodT for years. Freshman
Meredith Smith said, This is my sixth time giving blood and I plan on donating blood for the rest
of my life.� For other students this blood drive was the first one they. ever went to. Criminal Justice
Major Corey Browder also explained his participation, This was my first time donating blood, but
I would definitely love to do it again. It feels good to know that I helped save someoneTs life.�
Amanda Mutio :
The NPHC Blood drive was
a great success. Students
from all over campus came
to donate their blood and
support a great cause.

greek life ice cream social
East Carolina University had a scholarship recognition social for Greek Life students in March. Sorority and fraternity members who had
held académic success in the past semester were invited to.attend. Free Ice cream was provided to all the Greek students that had higher
then a 3.5 for the fall semester of 2010. Even Patricia Dunn, the Mayor of Greenville was there to congratulate all the students on their
| academic achievements. Damuilola Abisogun, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is proud of his GPA. Abisogun said, I not
' only feel accomplished but I also feel like I am setting an example for the rest of my fraternity.� With Over 350 Greeks reaching this
goal of a 3.5, many of these*students wonder how do they are able to balance everything in their life and still get excellent grades. Melissa
Sampson, a senior majoring inTNursing, gave us insight of how she manages to get above a 3.5 all while being in Sigma Gamma-Rho
Sorority, Inc. Sampson explained, You have.to learn how to prioritize. You have to be able to tell people no sometimes. But most
importantly; you have to stay motivated.�: It is no secret that being a member of Greek Life is a timely commitment; staying motivated
| and well rounded is the key to being academically successful while being involved.

Greek Week holds exciting and fun events every year. One of
the special events. is the annual lip-syncing contest. Alpha Phi

LetTs face it: Not all of us were blessed with the talent to carry a:tune. For those
of us with the lack of aptitude, and an influx of ambition; there is a simple
solution to this straightforward solution to our disheartenment: lip-synching!
Commonly known as lip-singing or doing an Ashlee Simpson, lip-synching is the
art of matching the movement of oneTs lips to a voice recording.
How convenient to play rock star� to someone elseTs vocals while we seamlessly
put on a good performance! ;
On April 4, 2011, the East Carolina University Office of Greek Life hosted a
sorority-fraternity lip-synching contest in celebration of Greek Week.
Groups performed in two to five minute segments and put on a high-spirited
spectacle of skits from various genres and decades of music. Some performances
were dead on while others poked fun at how rhythm and coordination were not
a pre-requisite for participation.
From Delta Zeta and Sigma Omicron Epsilon performing to NsyncTs TearinT
Up My Heart� and Bye Bye Bye,� along with HueyTs Pop, Lock, and Drop It,�
to Zeta Tau Alpha, Iota Nu Delta and Kappa Sigma dancing to Infinity So
AwesomeT (ISA)Ts Move It Like Bernie,� every student put on a performance to
remember.
Among the other groups represented were Delta Sigma, Sigma Gamma Rho,
Delta Zeta, Sigma� Omicron Epsilon, Alpha Tau Omega, Chi Omega, Lambda
Theta Alpha and Kappa Delta.
As this was a competition, three winning groups were crowned. In third place
were Kappa Delta and Alpha Tau Omega. The runners up were Delta Chi, Delta
Sigma Pi, and Chi-Omega, crowning Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Gamma Rho,
and Tau Kappa Epsilon as the winners as they performed to a mega mix of the
Spice GirlsT Wannabe,� and the Backstreet BoysT As Long As You Love Me.�
For us tone-deaf wannabes ~who appreciate the production that goes into the
creation of a good song, lip-synching is the primary act of choice. Now-a-days,
anyone can appear to have musical abilities matching those of our favorite
artists. Though we may not be able to match the superlative standards of
showmanship of those more artistically inclined, lip-synching contests ~afford us
the opportunity to live out our inner music industry celebrity while mimicking
our idols.

Zeta Tau Alpha at ECU are kissing cancer away. Their philanthropy is Breast
Cancer EducationTand Awareness, of which they have many beneficial fundraisers
to raise awareness for and money to support breast cancer research.
"Kiss Away Cancer' is a part of Zeta Tau Alpha's week long fundraiser in October. The month of
October is a very busy month for Zetas, as they are active in the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Each day the girls do something different to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer. During 'Kiss
Away Cancer,' students around campus have an opportunity to buy a pair of paper cut out lips in
honor or support of Breast Cancer survivors! They purchase the lips and can write the name of their
family or friend who has or has previously had Breast Cancer. This is done annually along with
hanging pink ribbons around the trees on campus as well as passing out ribbons in front of Dowdy
Student Store.
The ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha are passionate about their philanthropy and are very active in the fight to
raise awareness for Breast Cancer. The ways they make their efforts fun are evident in the various
activities they put on throughout the year, especially during the month of October.

at the speed
dating event .
Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. are two Greek organizations at ECU which share the same
National Philanthropy. St. Jude ChildrenTs Research Hospital has been the official philanthropic partner of Lambda Theta Alpha since 2010.
LTA chapters across the country raise funds and awareness for St. Jude through campus and community events. Nationally Kappa Alpha Ps1
has answered the call to service by raising more than $400,000"representing the largest contribution that they have ever donated to charity.
Because both Greek organizations have the same philanthropy they decided to conduct a joint fundraiser for it. The speed dating event was
geared to all students on campus. Bricieda Rodriguez attended the event and explained why she enjoyed it so much. It was really nice seeing
new faces and eating free food all while doing it for a great cause. I will go to any event that supports St. Judes,� Rodriguez said.
At the end of the event any student that donated to St. Judes was able to be in a drawing to win a $25 gift card for an on-campus restaurant.
They were encouraged to take their favorite speed dating partner out with the gift card they received. Whenever someone donated any amount
of money, they received a card with a childTs name, their picture, and their survival story on it. These cards were really inspirational to a lot of
the students because all of the children on the cards survived because they were at St. Jude Children's hospital receiving radiation and
chemotherapy. This event was a huge success because not only did students get to take a break from their studies and speed date, but money
was also raised for a great cause. One of the KappaTs Pat Davis said, Every little bit helps when it comes to St. Judes. We as College students
have the ability to make a difference, so why not have fun and make a difference at the same time?�
This fundraising event exemplified a special Greek unity in which two organizations came together for a special cause. Not only did they raise
money for St. Jude, but they also made friends and enjoyed speed dating!

laying it down
Sigma Omicron Epsilon hosts many educational programs throughout the year but for ValentineTs Day, they had one
of their most successful events yet. SOE is actually the first and only Native American sorority on campus. Under
their sisterhood, they promote education and culture first. So for this particulareducational program they decided to
educate the students at East Carolina University about practicing safe sex. Their program Laying it Down� was right
before ValentineTs Day. One of the sisters Olivia Richardson said, Valentines day is a romantic day in which a lot of
couples end up being very intimate. What we want to do is educate ECU students about safe sex. We feel that they
should enjoy themselves on this special day but at the same.time they need to do it safely.� Many students came for
their health class so they could get their passport event signed. Yet many of the students admitted, they would have
came even if it wasnTt not a passport event. One of the reasons that students loved the event so much was because the
guest speaker was Professor Charla Blumell. She spoke about the negative side effects of not practicing safe sex. She
focused on diseases and mistakes that are most commonly made by students. Blumell got her point across to all the
students there. But she did it in a way in which they could engage in the conversation and enjoy the program at the
same time. Freshman Marissa Rae said, I loved how the speaker was real about everything but at the same time she
made it like a comedy show because she had such a great sense of humor!�
After Blumell spoke to all the students about practicing safe sex and all the diseases that come with not practicing safe
sex, SOE sisters Olivia Richardson and Caprice Hunt, put on a Jeopardy game for the audience to participate in. The
game tested on thé topics that professor Blumell went over. The winners of the jeopardy game won gift cards to
VictoriaTs Secret and DickTs Sporting Goods. Once the program was over, SOE had many raffle drawings and gave
away many other door prizes to the raffle winners. All the door prizes were ValentineTs Day presents that students
could give to one another. It was a fun and educational event that many students not only enjoyed, but alsoT benefited
from.

Greek Week is a fun, yet competitive time
for all Greeks to come together. Not only
do Greeks have a blast and bond with their
own brothers and sisters during games, but
they also bond with other sororities and
fraternities, as groups conjoin as alliancés
for certain games. Greek Week is in April
of each year and promotes unity while
strengthening within each organization.

The Rebel Magazine is known as an. award winning publicized collection of work produced by students at
the universityTs School of Art and Design. [t was created for the students, by the students, and then some.
The Rebel called for entries by students on September 23rd and 24th to be judged before the opening ;
reception of October Ist. Exhibition dates were from October Ist to October 30th, where the annual opening )
reception was held at the Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge, downtown on Evans Street, across. from
localized hot spot, AcasiaTs Tipsy Teapot. As the doors were opened, traffic slowly trickled in. Yet, as an hour
passed, students, faculty, art enthusiasts, and the usual downtown patroms began-to file into the building, .
scattering through to. view what the art kids� of this generation were working to offer to the visual
- community. During the reception péople were able to quench their thirst and hunger by taking advantage of
the concession table, and were also able to stroll at their own pace to gander at the variety of media, including
paintings, sculptures, photography, graphic design, printmaking, illustrations, textiles, and many more.
This year was interesting as the magazine opened the show to two new forms of media, documentary film
and mixed media. The documentary film display was quite intriguing to most that came near, as their eyes
were quickly drawn to the blank wall that was projected with the imagery upon it. Mixed media allowed for
student artists to explore more with different kinds of material to~produce more works with variety types of
interest that could appeal universally to the masses. The turnout was exceptional. The view of family
, : . ~
members, friends, and faculty under one roof was inspiring.. It-is often that the arts seem to take the back-
burner in the community, however that does not appear to be the case in Greenville: In a college:town where
parties rage, home games are much-anticipated, and downtown only seems to be a night time thing, events like
the annual Rebel reception goes to show that:a factor such as the arts can still bring varieties of people
together for a common interest.. Students have worked diligently not only to enter a juried exhibition, but
also to showcase their talents and productions of work that.aave taken time, energy, and passion to create.

programs were to bring diversity and culture throughout the world.
The opening ceremony began on Monday, 14 March 2011 and introduced the Tibetan culture to the citizens of Greenville.
Later that evening, a two hour performance, entitled, Sacred Music and Sacred Dance for World Healing,� was illustrated. This program
combines multiphonic dancing with ancient rhythms and colorful costumes.
The following evening, a lecture on The Ancient Art of Healing� gave students a deeper understanding of the methodology and idealisms behind
the Tibetan monksT perceptions on healing.
Over the duration of a week, an aggregation of onlookers gathered around the Tibetan monks in awe as they built an unforgettable sand mandala.
The sand mandala has a unique construction process. With the budding of the opening remarks, the monks consecrated the sand mandalaTs site
with thirty minutes of music, chanting, and mantra recitation. Immediately following, the monks sketch the design for the mandala. Taking two
to three hours to complete, this work is very extracting. The Tibetan monks painstakingly pour millions of sand grains from the traditional
metals funnels, the chakpur. The creation of a sand mandala is averaged around three to five days of work hours on end. The sand mandala is
complete with a consecration ceremony. It is during the closing ceremony that the mandala is dismantled as the colored sands are swept together
symbolizing the existing imbalances within the earth. The sand was then ceremoniously dispersed into the Tar River, thus dispersing the
mandalaTs healing energy throughout the world.
The Mystical Arts of Tibet series was sponsored by the Student Activities Board, the College of Arts & Sciences, Religious Studies, and Asian
Studies Programs. Considered an honor to be selected to portray Tibetan culture, the monks shared their cultural traditions with hopes that
spectators would make a small contribution toward world peace and toward the increased awareness of the tragic situation of the Tibetans. It 1s
through awareness and educational outreach programs that the Deprung Loseling Monastery keeps TibetTs ancient legacy alive.

Sea Biscuits & Bitters is an annual event held by the Maritime Studies
Association (MSA) and supported by the Program in Maritime Studies.
It is their main fundraising event and a grand time! Each Spring,
Maritime Studies students, faculty, and staff come together and
celebrate, 18th century style! There are nautically-themed foods
prepared by students, such as Boiled Baby, Lobscouse, Navy bean soup,
Sea Biscuits (of course!) and much more, including the sailorsT favorite
drink: Grog. Games of chance common to sailors from centuries and
navies past are played, sea chanties are sung, and door prizes are
plentiful!
The event has been held for many years and has come to represent a
near-mythical event for all Maritimers. The event is not exclusive to
non-Maritime students as all who hold dear nautical traditions are
welcome.

dodgeball
On the morning of January 29th, 2011 teams were eagerly preparing to compete in a dodge ball
tournament to raise money to give local neighborhoods recreational areas for children. There were several
teams competing to be the winner. Each team created a unique name and had their own attire, which made
them stand out from everyone else.
The tournament started off with each team competing against one another in order to see which three
teams would play in the final round. The three teams that made it to the final round were Team Umstead,
Team Blanco, and Average Joes. Each team played their hardest and eventually one team, the Average Joes,
came out being the champions. The tournament ended up being a fun time for all the teams involved and ;
was a positive fundraiser for children.

their radio station pride.
This year marks a big cue for Pirate music listeners, especially if they tune into 91,3 WZMB, ECUTs college
radio station.
The changes include a promotion in student leadership. Former station manager Matt Grady graduated in
December and passed the baton to LaTTrish Mack, a former WZMB'DJ. LaTTrish continued the trend of providing
quality management to the teamiat the station, and she made strides to.create stronger relationships. in the
Greenville community. :
The station also received several upgrades, including a complete makeover inside the station and networking and
hardware upgrades. .New servers, new tile, freshly painted walls and Pirate purple soundproofing now accent the
music and student personalities at WZMB. Plus, listeriers can now check ott the station online as well-in their
cars, as the Station is now streaming its broadcast over'the internet.
