Join Denny and Write for the Den

 
 
 

Got Opinions? Good. Let’s Hear ’Em:

Not everything worth saying fits on a t-shirt. The Den is opening the floor to students, alumni, and anyone with something worth putting into words. Whether it’s a take, a story, a respectful/relevant rant, or something in between, we’re looking for voices that actually have something to say.

If you’ve got strong opinions, sharp humor, or a perspective people should hear, we want to elevate that voice.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Purdue takes (sports, campus life, traditions, etc.);

  • Hot takes, debates, and opinion pieces;

  • Stories, experiences, and commentary;

  • Humor, satire, and creative content;

If it’s interesting, original, and sounds good, it’s on the table. It doesn’t need to be the next great American novel, just some of your inner-most incredible thoughts.

Why Write for the Den:

  • Get Seen: Your work gets in front of a built-in Purdue audience that actually pays attention, and usually has a lot of feedback to share while pretending to pay attention during lecture.

  • Build Your Voice: Maybe you’re a funny person who needs an audience or maybe you just enjoy writing and want to expand your portfolio. Regardless, this is a platform where you could put your perspective out there.

  • Be Part of the Den: This isn’t a random blog. We’re a 40+ year old apparel shop and convenience store…which, after saying out loud, we’re not sure if that helps or hurts our case.

  • Why not write for the Den? (* slams Uno Reverse-Card down *)

Unlike that One Club, We Have 3 Rules (So Far, So Don’t Ruin It):

  • Don’t be boring.

  • Make us laugh, think, or argue (preferably all three).

  • Try not to be mean.
