IFC Raises The Bar

While some may be quick to judge that the fraternities on Frat Row only care about raising the roof and bar tabs every weekend, stop and think again.

The UF Interfraternity Council has been working hard and dedicating their time planning campus wide events this semester. They are proud to bring their 6th annual Chicken Wing Charity Thing (CWCT) once again on March 12th from 5-7 P.M. on Flavet Field.

Everyone on Frat Row will be a cooking up a storm to prepare 15,000 chicken wings from scratch to serve to attendees. While the frats from IFC compete to make only the best tasting chicken wings, the ladies of the PanHellenic Council (PC) will vie for the title of the tastiest sweet treats. In addition, IFC is proud to welcome organizations from the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) and National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) who will be providing refreshments and other sides to complement the variety of wings and desserts. Chicken Wing Charity Thing will be a philanthropic event to unite the UF community.

Because of the great success in past years, tickets to CWCT will go on presale for a price of only $10 including a T-shirt! Don’t miss out on receiving a CWCT tee as presale ends on February 26th. Tickets will sold for $8 at the door. All the money raised from Chicken Wing Charity Thing will be donated to UF Dance Marathon and the Children’s Miracle Network. Be sure to take part in an enjoyable night of good food and company as IFC strives to raise $10,000 for the kids this year!

As Spring Break is now nearer than ever, take the opportunity to also get rid of last season’s fashions or any old gently worn or used clothing to donate to IFC’s Clothing Drive going on now. Collection ends on March 20th. Feel free to drop off all donations at any IFC chapter house, Hume and Graham Commons, or the Office of Student Activities and Involvement on the 3rd floor of the Reitz Union. Any and all donations are welcome and will go to benefit St. Francis House, Salvation Army, and Grace Marketplace. This year, IFC hopes to raise 6,000 articles of clothing. For more information or to arrange a box to be dropped off or collected from your organization, contact Service Coordinator, Stephen Schwartz, at stephen94@gmail.com.

Get ready for the start of spring and show IFC your support by participating in these big events!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
