ADPi-Athlon is Alpha Delta Pi’s spring philanthropy event in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities. Ronald McDonald Houses all over the country provide a little or no cost place for families to stay while their children are receiving medical attention. These houses are built on the principle that the family should only have to focus on the health of their child while he or she is suffering.

The proceeds from this event will go directly to RMH to help keep the House in Tallahassee up and running. Throughout the week leading up to ADPi-Athlon there are several share-it-nights and a dinner at the ADPi house on March 16, 2016. Some of the proceeds from each of the share-it-nights will help us, the sisters of ADPi, reach our goal for this amazing charity.

The Wednesday before the event there will be a fiesta at the ADPi house. The proceeds from the tickets for this event will also go toward Ronald McDonald House, and trust me, you don’t want to miss an ADPi taco bar.

The actual event will take place on Sunday, March 20, 2016 in Heritage Grove. You can register your team of five to compete in the fun, messy, “pi”-related relay races for a shot at winning ADPi-Athlon 2016. I can guarantee it is an event you won’t want to miss! Come out on March 20 for a chocolate syrup, whipped cream, pie in the face-filled day with your favorite girls. All of the sign ups for the t-shirts, dinner, and teams can be found on the Facebook page, or you can ask any ADPi member. Don’t forget to register your team of five, attend our share-it-nights, buy tickets for our dinner, and snag an awesome ADPi-Athlon t-shirt before it’s too late. Hope to see all of you there to help us support this worthy cause.

Check out our video from last year's ADPi-Athlon, where we raised $15,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
