Earlier in the year, I wrote about traditions that sororities and fraternities at Marshall University have. One tradition is coming up on April 19, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Look around campus this time of year and you will see a giant strawberry in the yard of Alpha Xi Delta. This year marks the 67th Annual Strawberry Breakfast. The event is hosted by Alpha Xi Delta's Mother's Club and is held every spring semester.

The event is one that Greeks, community members, students, and alumni love. People start asking about Strawberry Breakfast in February because they want to make sure that they get their ticket. Why is it so popular? Alpha Xi Delta's signature strawberry butter of course! (which you can buy by the tub) There is always a phenomenal turnout for this event and allows people to start their day with a sweet breakfast.

You can contact a sister of Alpha Xi Delta to purchase your ticket or even buy it at the door! The tickets are only $5. For the price of $5, you get homemade pancakes, sausage, eggs, biscuits, chocolate covered strawberries, a drink, and a side of the signature strawberry butter! You can eat your breakfast and have a conversation in the dining room of the Alpha Xi Delta house, take it to go, or even have it delivered!

What is Alpha Xi Delta's Mother's Club? It is exactly what it sounds like, it is a club of mothers of both active and alumni of Alpha Xi Delta. Mother's Club raises this money to help with things for the house. If something goes out the Mother's Club will pay for it so that the girls who live in the house will not have to wait or go without while they are waiting to hear back from their housing board. For example, this year the Keurig in the kitchen went out and thanks to the Mother's Club they were able to get a new one that evening.

Not all of the money goes to Mother's Club. A portion of the money will be donated to Alpha Xi Delta's philanthropy. Alpha Xi Delta's across the nation raise money for Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks is a non-profit organization and is the largest autism science and advocacy organization in the United States. Throughout the year the sorority raises money for Autism Speaks with their Taco "Bout Philanthropy and Football FrenXi. Earlier in April, which is World Autism Awareness Month, they had chalked the sidewalks of Marshall University with quotes and facts.

If you do not know where the Alpha Xi Delta house is, it is directly across from the Marshall University Bookstore. The address is 1645 5th Avenue. Alpha Xi Delta cannot wait to see you and share a tradition!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
