7+ people: While 6 is the minimum, 8-12 is the desired minimum number of links to say the Cheer. This just adds more power and brilliance. It also means that a good number of us are socializing and bonding together.
Non-Links: While this is a SPHINX cheer, keep in mind that there�s a good chance it originated with the Marching Band back in the day. So if there is band person not in SPHINX that wants to do the cheer with you, it�s probably ok. If they�re not in Band, then use your discretion.
Tried Links: Always a plus if they are present and participating!
Parties: If it�s your party, go for it! If it�s a party at a non-Sphinxter�s, it�s probably ok because most of you will probably know several people at the party. If this is not the case, you�ll have to use your judgment based on the crowd.
Bars: This just depends on which bar you�re at and the situation. Campus bars are probably ok in general. With non-campus bars, it depends how sophisticated or trashy it is, and how loud it is. No matter where you are, just don�t get kicked out!
Hopefully this will help in your quest to perform the greatest cheer ever. Remember, just ask yourself, would you be representing SPHINX and the Cheer in a manner that they deserve? That is the basic principle to keep in mind. If in doubt, you know who to call.
Thank you. God bless and Go Bucks.
When I hear the name Molly, I think of a shock of bright red hair and a big toothpaste commercial smile. While this is not the image Molly McGloughlin, it is another Molly here at Ohio State who has been in every honorary with me until Sphinx. Since she is now in Mortarboard, (GASP!) there may be new forms of Molly-ness input from the Sphinx 97 Molly. It will be interesting to see how they coexist (will the hair blend and become auburn?).
When I hear the name Sarah I also think hair. I know two people pretty well named Sarah, one with long black curly hair (that right, the Elder) and another with short spiky blond hair. These contrasts seem to be averaged with the addition of a new Sarah into my life: Sarah Santilli with medium length brown wavy hair. I think if I am going to meet any new Sarah�s they better also have Santilli hair in order to keep the balance.
Jim Tressel reminds me of my Dad. Why? Well because my Dad likes sweatervests a lot.
It is true that I have not met another person named Nathan. I have, however, heard about movie stars, friends� high school boyfriends, and distant relatives� children with this name. I think since Nathan W. is the only real person that I have met with the name, all of these associations become transferred to him. So apparently, Nathan recently won a Tony for his Broadway role in the Producers, �did it� in a tractor with one of my study abroad friends, and just recently learned to tie his shoes.
For my first three years of college, I lived with someone named Amy. This Amy was sweet, quiet, and artistic, yet I always got the feeling that even though she was being really nice, there was something I had done as a roommate that had totally pissed her off. She did move out this year�Anyway, even though I have little reason to be, I find myself somewhat suspicious of Amy Gosnell and the deep antagonistic feelings that she may be harboring inside for all of us.
When I was about 6, my older sister�s best friend was named Allison. I tried to get her to eat soap that was in the shape of a cupcake. She almost did it. Allison: DON�T EAT SOAP!
I have a cousin named Dan who is ten years old and has red hair. He once told our grandmother to shut-up which was NOT a good idea. I do not know that much about Dan Jaynes, but I sincerely hope that he has never faced the misery that results from telling one�s grandmother to shut-up.
