Family Feud and other events

On Oct. 14th Phi Beta Sigma organized Family Feud, where a lot of the money went towards Breast Cancer Research. It was so much fun so watch one of my favorite shows in live action. There were 4 teams, 3 teams were decided upon and the 4th team was created by a drawing of a ticket. One of my sisters Melanie was on team IGC (Inter Greek Council) and they won!! The first place team won some money and digital cameras, and I believe the 2nd place team won iPod shuffles. I'm really impressed that Phi Beta Sigma got as close as they could to how Family Feud is. They had this program that was shown on a big screen, it was really really awesome. The only problem I had was when they hit the lights we couldn't really see the contestents anymore, but they did a great thing for a great cause. :)

After reading Alex's blog I did want to add into this blog that NO ONE should EVER take juicycampus seriously. I went on it myself and all I saw was anger and hatred and it was mostly about unrec. sororities and fraternities. I wish we could be taken off the list, but until then, I hope that no one will look at that and believe that Greek Life is like that.

Other events that are coming up are This Tues. is Charity Denim, which all proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research, Phi Sigma Sigma is hosting a Kidney Walk that all Greek Life will be attending, All Greek Life will be hosting a Halloween Carnival up at Hunt at the Waterfront.

Freedom of Speech

Today was a classic showing of freedom of speech. My fiance came running into my room about noon out of breath and pulled me out of my seat to follow him. He and his roommate were really excited and told me that there was a protest going on in the quad and that there was a counter protest going on as well. I have to say I was really impressed that so many students came out to show their support and showed that they cared.

It started when a guy and a girl stood in the quad and help up signs that basically said that anyone who was a homosexual needs to stop being a homosexual and embrace god. Students and faculty members came out and brought out their own signs that shined "God made me gay or bisexual" or "God loves everyone". I was also impressed that both sides were peaceful and that things did not get out of hand. In a way, I believe that this man and women helped bring students and faculty together and show that they believe in themselves and that they believe in who they are as a person, and I just proud of everyone.

I myself believe that God loves everyone and no one is better or worse than anyone. Good job to everyone today who showed their support and stood up for what they believed in.

Breast Cancer

We are doing two charity events to help raise money for breast cancer research :)

Our first event is charity denim which will be held on Oct. 21st from 10am to 6pm at Hunt in the ballroom. All proceeds goes to Breast Cancer Research. Men's and Women's pants are available in all sizes and cuts, along with shirts. We also will have pins who want to show their support as well.

Our second event is that we will be selling pumpkins and baked goods in the quad. You can buy 2 pumpkins for $1 and we will have paint if you wish to paint them.

Other members from greek life are also helping out with raising money for Breast Cancer Research, and look for any deals with buying things, that the money will go towards this curable disease. Just yesterday I bought soup that's pink rimmed to help with the cause.

Peace, Love

The Election

After I saw what Alex put up on her blog about Obama...I feel that fair should be fair if people are going to talk about the candidates. I'm sick and tired of anyone who is against Bush or the Republican party think that they can say anything they want, but anyone who is for the positive U.S.A. we get slammed and silenced.

**This is what I believe, this is not the opinion of Pi Delta Chi**

I have no problem admitting that I voted for John McCain. It was not only simple, it was easy. I didn't have to waste my time listening to political ads, or what they've been saying on TV. I didn't have to listen to what the liberal media had to say either. All I had to do, was see what both candidates have done while in office. Do I hate Obama? No, def not. Do I think he's prepared to become our president? No, def. not. He has no experience. Any moron can have good people skills and say "I promise to do this, and I promise to do that". I could stand up and say "I will make a great Math teacher." But if I don't have the experience....how can I be? Didn't the democrats say that if they grabbed the house and senate that they would get gas prices down and there wouldn't be anymore deficit spending? We are given so many promises...and people believe it...it's amazing. I don't understand it. Get a piece of paper out and write what Obama and McCain have done while they have been in office. What bills have passed with their signatures on it. Once you do that....it's really clear who is and is not fit to be our president.

Again, I have no major issue with Obama, I think some of his ideas may work...if he had more experience and more on his resume on how to help our country, I would give him more of a look. People don't need to be nasty about the election. I have no problems with anyone who does vote for Obama..but I think people need to respect each other for what they believe is right. I respect people for voting, and voting for what they believe in. Others need to extend that same courtesy. People with different opinions can learn from each other...all you need to do is just listen. Ignore the crap that both parties are spewing about each other. Go out and vote for what you believe in.

I am so proud of our pledges. Even though they are crazy busy with school and other activities they have shown so much dedication to our sorority. I couldn't have asked for anything better. They work hard and I'm just impressed and proud.

I am also excited that we will be having a split class. Everyone is doing a great job and I am excited to meet our new editions to our chapter.
