Tackling A Cure

Zeta Xi chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha will host a football game on Oct. 30, called Tackling A Cure, sponsored with Georgia Southern Athletics. October is breast cancer awareness month and Georgia Southern's games air on ESPN on Thursday nights, so this is a great opportunity to increase awareness and involve more students in an awesome event.

President of Zeta Tau Alpha, Ashley Landry, said, "I am thrilled that ZTA is able to partner with Georgia Southern Athletics for our Tackling A Cure football game this fall. We have enjoyed partnering with GSU Athletics, in the past, for our Pack the House in Pink basketball game and we are looking forward to this new partnership. This has been an incredible opportunity for ZTA and we could not be more excited!" 

Although sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha are used to a national partnership with the NFL, never before has ZTA been able to spread awareness in the "prettiest little stadium in America," also known as Paulson Stadium. The opportunities are endless for raising money for breast cancer research. Selling pink t-shirts, pink pompoms, raffles, and even having donation centers set up, will make it easy for the fans of Georgia Southern to truly make an impact. The sisters of ZTA will also have educational tables set up to pass out pamphlets about getting checked and will pass out pink ribbons for people to proudly wear. 

According to American Cancer Society, "breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman's death is about 1 in 36."

Everyone knows someone whose life has been tragically taken by breast cancer, someone who is fighting the cancer, or someone who is a survivor of breast cancer.

Please come out and show support for the Eagles and for the women fighting this disease. Through Tackling A Cure, the entire Statesboro community can come together and aid in the efforts to, one da,y find a cure for breast cancer.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
