They
aren’t Greek. They’re Norse. For those who don’t know, Viking House is a co-ed
student group that serves as an alternative to traditional Greek life. The
focus of the group is to bring together students from all walks of life. Taylor Pierson, treasurer for Viking House,
said that the group has given her a chance to meet new people.
“Viking House has created opportunities
and friendships for me that I wouldn’t have had on my own,” she said.
The group focuses on member
involvement by meeting twice a week and hosting special activities. One of
these activities is checking out the weekly movie showings at the Bama Theater.
The meetings take place on Mondays at 8 and Fridays at 5:30 in the Ridgecrest
South common room. There are no membership fees, and attendance at meetings
isn’t required. Pierson, a freshman
majoring in civil engineering, said that this reflects the group’s atmosphere.
“Our group is really laid-back in
comparison to the sororities and fraternities on campus,” said Pierson.
