Kappa Delta's 2nd Annual "Bump It Like Beckham" Will Knock You Off Your Feet, Literally

We have all felt, unfortunately at one point or another, the routine dullness that comes from a typical week or weekend in Tallahassee. It's why we're always searching for something more, something better. There are certainly ways to give back to our Tallahassee community, but there is only one way to do it with Kappa Delta. Look no further than here:

Can you believe what you're seeing? That's right - kids like you running around in human-sized plastic blow up hamster balls playing soccer. What's the catch? It's totally harmless. You're surrounded by a marshmallow of air. The reason you've probably never seen a sorority philanthropy like this is because it's never been done - except by Kappa Delta at Florida State. Last year, in its first ever "Bump It Like Beckham", Kappa Delta raised over $28,000 for The Children's Home Society of Tallahassee, a local charity. So you can have fun while also feeling good about it. 100% of the proceeds from the event are donated to the cause.

Not only can you feel good, you can look good. Purchase one of these rare KD soccer jerseys at the event to further your contribution to the cause.

If the gracious charity and stylish jerseys haven't already convinced you, here's everything else you need to know to sign up:

Register your team of 4 players through any KD sister by Sunday, October 18th. The cost is $60 per team, or $15 per person. Spots are on a first-come, first-serve basis, so don't miss out! The actual event will take place on Sunday, October 25th at the FSU main campus's old IM Fields, time TBD.

*If you are already planning on attending Zeta Tau Alpha's Race to Live that same morning, fear not, your team's game times will be scheduled accordingly.*

So what's holding you back? We'll see you on October 25th for some good old fashioned bubble bumping.

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.
