The Grackle – Chestnut Hill College’s Literary and Creative Magazine.

Grackles are blackbirds that look like they’ve been slightly stretched. So why is the Chestnut Hill College Literary Magazine called The Grackle? The story is that when the original rendition of the magazines started in the 1980s, the campus had a plague (swarm) of grackles. In 2007, after a thirty-plus-year gap, a team of students worked to revive this magazine, which allows students, community members, and alumni to publish their works through a peer-reviewed process.
