6 Reasons To Support ADPi's Homers And Hogs

It's that time of year again! Florida State University's Alpha Delta Pi will be hosting their annual fall philanthropy. Homers and Hogs is an annual home run derby event that brings members of other Greek organizations, campus groups, and other Tallahassee community members together in order to raise money for our charities. Last year, the event resulted in more than $15,000 to donate to Ronald McDonald House. The women of Alpha Delta Pi are overwhelmed with excitement in hopes that this year's event will be bigger than ever! There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and support:

1. You can make a team and spend your Sunday hitting baseballs.

You don't have to be a home run hitting superstar to participate! The goal is to hit as many balls as you can in a certain amount of time! After each person on your team plays, your scores are combined. The highest scoring team wins! It's that simple! It's only $75 for a team of five players and that money goes to charity.


2. It supports Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Alpha Delta Pi teamed up with Ronald McDonald House Charities in 1979, and since then, over $10 million has been donated to this cause. Just as Alpha Delta Pi serves as a home away from home for its members, RMHC does the same for families across the U.S. At RMHC, families of ill children are given housing near their hospitalized child. The money raised helps avoid the struggles of commuting to and from hospitals/appointments and keeps families together.

3. There will be a dinner at the ADPi house on October 28.

Who doesn't love barbecue? Come join us this Friday evening for live music, photo booths, games, and more. Tickets are $5 pre-sale and $7 at the door. Check here for the pre-sale.

4. It also supports Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research.

The members of Alpha Delta Pi at Florida State pride themselves on supporting not one but two charities for this event. Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS is a devastatingly fatal disease that affects many people every day. ADPi donates money from the event in hopes to advance ALS research and hopefully, one day, find a cure.

5. You can support the cause without even leaving your home.

Too busy to attend the dinner or the event? That's OK because there's a website where you can donate to the cause directly! It's an easy way to donate as much money as you'd like.

6. You can buy one of our Homers and Hogs shirts.

Just like every event for Homers and Hogs, the profits from the shirts will go to both ALS research and Ronald McDonald House Charities. Last year, these unisex shirts had to be ordered multiple times due to their high demand. A pre-sale for these comfy and cute tees has begun!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
