In college I attended a leadership retreat as part of a program put on by the Greek Panhellenic Council at various schools in Southern California.  Four representatives from each sorority and fraternity were sent to the University of Santa Barbara for a weekend of learning how to be a good leader.  I figured it was just [...]

Back in college while getting my B.A. in Psychology, I took a Social Psychology course and I just loved it.  Our professor did these wonderful group experiments designed to showcase the behaviors of people when they get in a group.  But one experiment in particular really upset and amazed me.  I’ll tell you what happened [...]
