Page 13 WESTERN CAROLINIAN September 25, 2009 ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT ~WCVU Sorority Sisters Take a Trip Down Sorority Row By Shelby Harrell Arts and Entertainment Editor Some of Westem Carolina Uni- versitys own sorority girls jour- neyed to Asheville for the big de- but of Sorority Row on opening night, Friday Sept.11. Among the sisters who attended were several Delta Zeta sisters, each of which wore their symbolic stitch- on letters to support the sorority-girl image that they are most proud of. The film however, may not have presented much ofa similar pride in the idea of sorority life. Anyone whos seen the films trailer already knows the plot, which was laid out in definite de- tail: A group of sorority sisters pull a prank in which they convince a cheating boyfriend that the girl hes dosed with roofies (which were really vitamins as part of the prank) was dead from an overdose. Unfor- tunately, he then accidentally kills her with a tire iron, and the group decides to dump the body down an abandoned mine; with no one to blame. Skipping to graduation several months later, each of the traitors re- ceives an incriminating picture on their cell phones. Later, a menacing figure wearing a hooded black grad- uation gown starts killing them off one by one with a tire iron, identical to the one from the accident. The secret behind the identity of the killer is not exactly a mys- tery that is difficult to decipher; the films basic charisma stems from watching the often scantily dressed, pre-wedding girls trading bitchy taunts shortly before, during, and after sisters and friends are being * disposed of in a bloody fashion. WCU junior and sister of Delta Zeta, Kristen Perakis, didnt much care for the representation of soror- ity girls in the film. Sororities are more than just partying, said Perakis, and thats what [the film] portrayed. TI would recommend [the film] not to girls who are thinking about a sorority, but to sisters because they know what its really like, said Perakis. Sisters would nev- er do such things to each other. While the film may have not captured the reality of a sorority, it definitely entertained the attending sisters and audience members alike. Twas expecting a horribly made film with bad actors, said Perakis. Tt was better than I expected. So whether youre looking for a violent slasher movie where pretty girls get slaughtered or just a fun night out with your sorority sisters, Sorority Row can provide a mix- ture of both, and is sure to give you. an eventful evening full of blood, treachery, and drama that only so- rority life can convey. Inside Look at New Exhibits in the Mountain Herit By Lex Menz Contributing Writer Cannot wait for Mountain Heri- tage Day? Then check out the new exhibits the Mountain Heritage Center is featuring at Western Carolina University. Located on the bottom level of the adminis- tration building, the center shows many exciting artifacts, firsthand accounts, and photographs from Cullowhees history. During the previous summer, the Center opened Gallery B to an exhibit entitled Working the Land. The gallery demonstrates how the areas farmers and land- owners have worked to maintain solid lifestyles overtime. The ex- hibit will move by Sept. 27, so do not miss out! The Decoration Day exhibit in Gallery C was opened recently and features an opportunity for thousands of na- tives, college students, and family members to hike to a specific cem- etery and help restore the graves. Not only does the activity bring family members closer together as they honor the ones who have left them behind, but it also knits to- gether the mountain community as a whole. Strangers graves at the cemetery do not go unnoticed. They, too, are remembered and tion Day gallery and learn of the revered by flowers atrangements and holy relics. Visit the Decora- activities.

The Plott Hound, North Carolinas state dog, is a admired dog in the moun- tains surrounding Cullowhee. The hounds helped early mountaineers with protection and hunting by bringing down bears, raccoons, and other forest predators once upon a time. Check out this exhibit on October 8. Whether you are searching for fun or seeking knowledge for a class, the Mountain Heritage Cen- ter is the place to be. Visit the Cen- ter on the following dates: Hours Through October 31: Monday through Friday: 8:00 am 5:00 pm Thursday: 8:00 am 8:00 pm Saturday: 10:00 am 5:00 pm Closed Sunday Stgnay red Andits a real problem. It's what can make a woman living in Hendersonville afraid to let her child's teacher know she is HIV-positive. It's whatcan make amaninFranklinkeep / his HIV status a secret from his . family. If can keep a young person in Asheville, Boone or | Cullowhee from taking an HIV test, even though that young person recognizes that knowing ones HIV status is a critical first step in HIV/AIDS prevention. Tragi cally, HIV/AIDS stigma is what caused a homeless shelter to evict a resident (a WNCAP client) in April 2008, once his HIV status became known. And it is why we want to take a moment to say a few things about people living with HIV/AIDS in Western North Carolina. www.wnecap.org/iknow
