Be Orange
To “Be Orange” is something unique and special to be part of. At the same time being orange had a different meaning to all of us. We all have a different perspective to being orange in our minds. Professors, students and staff have a different image of being orange. It doesn’t have to be the same, but at the same time be meaningful to the person.
To sum, being an alumni is part of being orange. Others being part of a sports team. Clubs, organizations or staff can be also be a part of being orange. Each one has their outlook what means to “Be Orange”, and that fine because that is suppose to happen. We can’t all have the same value what is to be orange. I have a different outlook to being orange.
To “Be Orange” has to come from the heart and become something that we all would be proud of. So to me the value of being orange is pride. Yes pride because its what ignites the love for something special. In more detail, when we become part of a club or organization in campus. First we have to learn as much as possible about what we are getting into. At the same time we have to have a liking before we decide to get into a club, organization or anything in particular group of some kind.
So once we are in it we can build from it. Once the person has finally felt comfortable, that is where it shows. That is when the pride comes out. Where that person feels honored to be in that group and not be ashamed. Where I’m going with this is that’s the same thing about being orange. To be part of beaver nation is something that should bring a smile and pride within us.
Pride in graduating and becoming an alumni. As a Alumni, we show our education and pride by applying for jobs. With that in mind, Alumni show what is to be orange with their degree from OSU. They express their feelings about being orange and the pride that comes with being orange. They can send a message the experience they’ve had at OSU and the people they know can talk about to other people or students. This will enhance the power of recruiting future students and they can become part of being orange.
To be orange comes from a tradition that goes way back and has continued as of now. Where has the pride from being orange? Simple, the students are the reason. They are the key that has built the pride of OSU. They are the reason behind being orange. I’m not saying that the school isn’t a factor, but the students have to be the ones that are happy to be here. Not just the school, but support everything about the school. Whether is the football team, frat or a club. We as students have to stand behind it all the way.
Let’s not forget about the students around us. We have students that come from different countries and from different cultures. So pride also has to be within us. To have the freedom at OSU and express ourselves without the fear what others think. We are part of a big community that should be supportive about their peers. No matter how different they are. We had to stand united to show the pride of being orange.
Pride is my value and feel it is something has been here since the day it w as build and continues to be built on. It is our turn to keep showing our pride of being orange. The best way for my by expressing my message is by spreading the word. Maybe some flyers or spread it through my friends so they can also do the same. This is just an idea, but it could actually work. I am proud of being a beaver and I pride myself on being orange.
