It ‎was fraternity life without all the pretentious BS you see at other schools. Some people ‎seemed bored, but that is because they didn’t seek out the fun. I am going to a large SEC ‎school now and they have the same problem here. Essentially, if you want to have a good ‎time, you've got to get involved and meet people. The people around there are great. The ‎faculty were great and since it is a small school it is easy and affordable to get involved. ‎So, while you may not get to see your football team play on TV every Saturday and ‎people may not have heard of the place much, it is a well hidden secret that you won't ‎regret.‎ This might sound a little geeky, but here is something I wrote to be published but never sent in about WT. I recently recalled a WT summer graduation that I attended where the speaker (I can’t ‎recall who it was) discussed what it meant to be a graduate of our university. One aspect ‎that I recall vividly is how he explained that, though a degree from WT may not be as ‎prestigious as one from an Ivy leugue school or as widely recognized as a degree from ‎many of the more well known universities, it really did symbolize something special. That ‎something special was a sort of intangible ethic and quality that made many WT ‎graduates rise to the top of whatever pursuit that they engaged in. At the time, I passed ‎off the remarks as typical commencement rhetoric and did not think about it until long ‎after I graduated myself, and then it came back to me. ‎ As my classmate friends and I fanned out across the country I began to notice a ‎strange phenomenon. It began when my classmates started beating out presumably more ‎qualified, and more prestigiously educated applicants for choice jobs. What is more ‎interesting is they not only obtained the jobs, but they excelled at them and moved up in ‎an excellerated fashion. With freshly minted degrees in hand my cohorts started ‎exceeding their peers who by all standards and qualifications should have been surpassing ‎them. ‎ Call it charisma, call it an ethic, call it good old West Texas common sense, call it ‎whatever you like, but my fellow WT graduates seem to be bringing something special to ‎the table and its effective. As I observe from the outside all of the changes that have, ‎and continue to change and improve my alma mater, I have a sincere hope that we do not ‎forget what makes us special in the first place. While rankings, renown and all of those ‎measures of prestige should be pursued, it would be a travesty to ignore the things that ‎have made us special, distinct and successful in the past. The Texas panhandle and WT ‎are great places to be from and it is my hope that it continues to be case for generations to ‎come. ‎ Starting Job: Instructor of Political Science , Preparedness: B, Reputation: B Have a Question?
