Philanthropy Spotlight - Alpha Gamma Delta How Sweet It Is

Each year Gamma Iota chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta hosts a fun and delicious philanthropy event called How Sweet It Is.

To raise funds for the Alpha Gamma Delta foundation, the sisters work hard to prepare a plethora of sweets and sell tickets all week for this exciting buffet. For $3 anyone can get a plate to fill with as much sweets as possible. 

The Alpha Gamma Delta foundation focuses on the research and education of childhood diabetes as well as assisting in many other areas.

This annual event is a favorite of all the students at Mercer University and was definitely my favorite event when I was an active sister.

Thankful

Tomorrow is one of the few days that most people really stop and think about all they are thankful for and I'm just as guilty as the next person. We joke that we are #blessed but never really remember to thank those who do so much for us. In order to break the habit, I took this month and have written down one thing that I am thankful for each day and it has been an eye opener. I think I may keep up the habit the cause being gracious makes people want to be around you and help you and just makes you happier overall. Here is what I am thankful for (the number corresponds to the day of the month): 

1. My college friends

2. My parents

3. The front office staff at my apartment complex

4. The baristas at my Starbucks 

5. My (biological) little sister

6. My Big, Little and Grand Little 

7. My boyfriend

Thanksgiving Break Netflix Binge

Many of you ladies are either currently on Thanksgiving break or are waiting for Tuesday to end so your break starts! Either way it is good to have a game plan of how you plan to spend you break. With at least five days off it is safe to say that Netflix will be brought out at least once; however, we all know it will be used much more than that.

Here is our list of favorite shows to binge watch on Netflix this break...

1. Orange is the New Black - A slightly raunchy but oh so wonderful show. Give into your guilty pleasure and watch every single episode available.

2. Gilmore Girls - It doesn't get any better than this throw back! With seven seasons of perfection, you should be set for your break.

3. The Fosters - It is Thanksgiving, so it is nice to take some time to watch a show that shows compassion during the break. Throw in the extra drama and some beautiful male actors and it's a winner.

4. Gossip Girl - If you have watched it once, watch it again. It only gets better with each Chuck and Blair moment.

5. Baby Daddy - If you want something on the funnier side then this show is a must.

6. Pretty Little Liars - If you are a PLL obsessed student or if you have yet to jump on the bandwagon, there is no time like now to get your PLL fix.

7. Extreme Cheapskates - At some point you will be craving so tacky reality TV. This show is perfect it that's what you're looking for!

8. Doctor Who - This show is a must watch for all college students. You will not regret giving it your time!

9. Hell on Wheels - While it doesn't seem like a top choice for many college sorority girls, this show has a certain something that hooks everyone in as soon as they watch the first episode.

10. Breaking Bad - You may dread your chemistry lab but if you pay attention well enough you may be able to have your on TV show some day...
