Students at Walla Walla University joined the latest online craze when they danced the Harlem Shake at the library Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Students were asked to follow two ground rules before participating in the video: don't break anything and keep the dance moves silly and appropriate.
Students at other Adventist universities have also been doing their own versions of the Harlem Shake.
UPDATE: Chris Paul agrees to meet with Leah Clayton. Watch her reaction

Students at Southern Adventist University have been asking us to spread the word about this. So we're joining them to #HelpLeeMeetCP3.
Laurence Clayton, a student at Southern Adventist University, had a very difficult decision to make.
His mom had terminal cancer and he didn't know how long she would live.
But Laurence was only one semester away from graduating. If he stayed at school, there would be a chance that his mom would get to see him become a college graduate. However, there was also a chance she could die without her son at her side.

Memes. Oh, memes...
2012 definitely flooded our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds with those pictures.
In case you you don't know what a meme is (we won't judge you), a meme is "an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture," according to the dictionary.
Well, soon people started creating memes about Seventh-day Adventist culture in North America.
These memes —part humor, part commentary, and part self-reflection— gave us a chance to look at ourselves and laugh.
And while you may be as tired of memes (as we are), we thought we'd take one last look at some of our favorite Adventist memes of 2012 (give or take a few days).
So here are our favorites, in no particular order. Credit for each meme can be found beneath each image. At the bottom of the post, vote for your favorite meme. Enjoy!

More than 1,800 Adventist young people are camping out and worshipping together at a division-wide youth congress in Australia, Record magazine reported.
Kids from more than 14 countries across the South Pacific are attending the South Pacific Division's World Changers Youth Congress in Brisbane, Queensland.
The 13th annual Generation of Youth for Christ (GYC) conference is scheduled to happen January 1-5, 2014 in Orlando, Fla.
According to the event website, the theme will be “Before Men and Angels,” and is based on a Bible verse found in 1 Corinthians 4:9:
"For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men." 1 Cor. 4:9 (NKJV)
This year's Generation of Youth for Christ (GYC) conference is taking place from Dec. 28, 2012 through Jan. 1, 2013 in Seattle, Wash.
"Acts: The Revolution Continues," is the theme for this 5-day youth event.
In 2006, a skit was performed illustarting how God never gives up on you, even when you abandon Him. Since then, this skit has been performed countless times by youth groups around the world. If you still haven't seen Lifehouse's Everything Skit, you can watch it here.
On Dec. 1, Seventh-day Adventists around the world will be fasting and praying for the release of two Christians imprisoned on false charges in Africa.
Even though local authorities have recognized the men's innocence, they refuse to release them, according to Adventist News Network.
Pastor Antonio dos Anjos Monteiro and church member Bruno Amah have been locked up since March 2012 in Lome, Togo "without hope of bail or trial."
Here's what happened and what you can do to help release our brothers in Christ, according to Adventist News Network (ANN):
