This past fall break I got the privilege to road trip down to Memphis, Tennessee and visit the St. Jude hospital. Being able to do so was such a life changing and eye opening experience that allows you to put life into perspective. It's crazy how much people take for granted on a day by day basis. Especially the things that should mean most to us like family, health, and just the ability to be able to wake up every morning breathing. I am proud to be a part of a sorority that is dedicated to raising money for the hospital to allow families to make their way through St. Jude without paying a dime. There were 35 of us sorority sisters that drove 9 hours from Coe College in Cedar rapids, Iowa to Memphis, Tennessee. It was completely worth it after visiting and touring the St. Jude hospital and learning more about it's campus and how it runs. I am so blessed to have been able to have this heartwarming experience and every family that goes through the hospital has a special place in my heart. It's a great feeling when you walk down the hallway of the hospital and doctors and physicians are thanking us for what we do as a sorority. I definitely felt the Delta love.
I believe that a picture speaks a thousand words, so check out for yourself how amazing the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is, and watch this neat video too! :)
