And I want to re-post this thread which links to a THON documentary. It's definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it already (or even if you have):

I'm so glad they kept the IFC/ Panhellenic title with THON because there was talk of getting rid of it.

The THON family lost one of its kids this morning. What an awful thing to have to deal with on Christmas morning. RIP Laney.

I didn't realize this until I read about it today but, this is the same young woman who there was a viral FB post about sending carolers to her home to sing Christmas carols to. So sad. May she rest in peace.

You seriously just made my year! Thanks so much! I also loved the Phi Kappa Tau picture because they are Phi Mu's partners for THON! I mean this with all my heart---For anyone who thinks we are just all a bunch of football-lovers, THIS is really what Penn State is all about. THIS is what makes me Penn State proud! I encourage everyone to watch the live stream. It will bring tears to your eyes!

ASTalumna06, here's to hoping we make the amount bigger this year! PENN STATE PROUD!
