First Philanthropy

Today I went to my very first Sigma Kappa Philanthropy event. Our chapter held a co-ed soccer tournament to raise money for one of our five philanthropies - Main Seacoast Mission. Our sorority was founded in Maine and thus it is held as one of Sigma Kappa's national Philanthropies. Maine Seacoast Mission provides community resources across the state of Maine. I had the opportunity to volunteer at the tournament and it was a blast. I cheered on the teams and spent time with my sisters. It was amazing to see the support of fellow Panhellenic members as well as other ETSU student organizations. During the games we sold snacks, and after the game I was responsible for helping to pick up trash. This event raised a lot of money for a very worth cause. It was great to be apart of my community today and know that others were being helped in the process.


For Dr. Hedden:
Community Service Hours: 5-6:30 pm  (1.5 hrs) 10/26/16

Sigma Kappa Highway Cleanup

Today I participated in  Sigma Kappa's highway clean up day.  One of our philanthropies is Inherit the Earth which supports caring for our planet. We adopted the highway out-front of ETSU and it stretches to the hospital. Sigma Kappa cleans it twice a semester. My sisters and I spent two hours picking up several trash bags full of litter off of the highway. It was wonderful to make a difference for the community and planet today! 16/30 hours

Blood Drive

10/2 I donated blood during the homecoming blood drive this week and it felt incredible to be able to serve my community. I always get slightly nervous around needles, but I only got slightly lightheaded at the end. The process only took about 1 hour and I helped save 3 lives! 4/25 hours

My Testimony - Fearless, Flawless, Forgiven.

(Adapted from an essay I wrote on failure) I was that   girl. I grew up in church, made straight A's, and was a cheerleader for most of my life. Any club you can name, I attended it in high school. I had an amazing reputation and was so proud of the being the goodie two shoes, all-american girl. Then I went to UT. I met my first boyfriend, and long story short I started making some pretty bad decisions. I ended up alone, broken, and no longer feeling deserving of love- much less the love of my heavenly father. who would want this garbage?  For exactly 361 days, I wanted to die. My hands were trembling, and my breath was cold as it ran over my lips. I felt all alone on Henley Street Bridge, even though I could see the headlights and feel the rush of the cars behind me. I can recall countless nights that I had stayed up, sometimes 24 hours in a row, sobbing and begging God for death. I could not take the feeling that my insides were ripping apart anymore. I had lost myself in
