YELL LIKE HELL!

WHAT TIME IS IT? TIME TO YELL! YELL LIKE WHAT? YELL.LIKE.HELL!

EVERY TUESDAY, THURSDAY, AND SUNDAY FROM 9:00PM-11:00PM FOR THE PAST MONTH AND A HALF HAVE CONSISTED OF YELLING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS. WHAT FOR? FOR YELL LIKE HELL OF COURSE!

YELL LIKE HELL IS A STUDENT PERFORMED SKIT CONSISTING OF CHANTS AND CHEERS THAT DEMONSTRATE THE GROUPS SPIRIT FOR IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY. YLH IS DESIGNED TO GET MORE INVOLVEMENT OUT OF THE STUDENT BODY, AS WELL AS CREATE MORE PRIDE FOR ISU AMONGST THE STUDENTS. THE FINAL SKITS ARE JUDGED DURING THE WEEK OF HOMECOMING.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON WAS THE FIRST ROUND OF CUTS, IN WHICH MY FRATERNITY, ATO, AS WELL AS ALPHA DELTA PI AND PHI KAPPA THETA PERFORMED OUT CHANT. APPARENTLY WE DID REALLY WELL, BECAUSE WE MADE FIRST CUTS AND ARE NOW UP FOR 2ND ROUND ELIMINATIONS TONIGHT FROM 6:30 PM-8:15 PM ON CENTRAL CAMPUS.

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DON’T REALLY ENJOY YELL LIKE HELL THAT MUCH. I SPEND NINE HOURS OF WEEK YELLING AS LOUD AS I CAN, JUST TO LOSE MY VOICE AFTER EVERY PRACTICE. IN ADDITION, MOST NIGHTS ARE QUITE CHILLY, AND SOME OF THEM EVEN INCORPORATE RAIN, WHICH DOESN’T MAKE THE PRACTICES ANY MORE ENJOYABLE. FURTHERMORE, IT’S JUST ANOTHER COMMITMENT I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THAT TAKES UP VALUABLE TIME IN MY DAY, AND IT MESSES UP THE SCHEDULE THAT I HAD INSTILLED BEFORE IT BEGAN.

I DON’T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A DOWNER AND SAY THAT I WANT TO BE CUT TONIGHT, BUT I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME OF THAT TIME BACK TO ENJOY TO MYSELF. BUT UNTIL WE DO GET CUT, WHICH WON’T HAPPEN BECAUSE MY GROUP IS SO HEALTHY, I JUST GOT TO SUCK IT UP AND YELL LIKE HELL!!!
