" After months of planning, the day was finally here! Kicks for CASA is our chapter, Eta Xi&amp;#039;s, Spring Philanthropy event! Members come together with the rest of the Quinnipiac community to form kickball teams and participate in an all-day kickball tournament, bracket style. In the past we&amp;#039;ve raised over $2,000 for the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation, a partner of CASA. Despite having to wake up at 9am to set up, the day was definitely tons of fun - with a BBQ, some mocktails, face paint, and a whole lot of kickball. The morning made me nervous because it was super-windy and freezing out! But by the time noon hit, the sun was out and it was absolutely gorgeous! Tons of people came out with teams ready to go and with their game faces on.  Originally I was supposed to be on a team with a few of my guy-friends, but unfortunately, they ended up having something to do that afternoon. That was okay with me though - I saved myself from a whole lot of embarrassment. I didn&amp;#039;t realize how seriously some teams took this! A lot of teams had matching t-shirts and I even heard some teams held daily practices! The winning team ended up being QU&amp;#039;s hockey team - it was almost unreal how good they were. There should be a new rule that D1 athletes aren&amp;#039;t allowed to make a team together - so unfair, LOL. It was really nice to see different organizations supporting Kappa Alpha Theta and our philanthropy. After this event, I was really able to see the Quinnipiac community&amp;#039;s unity. Even though we are one huge campus divided by different organizations, we are still able to support each other - and that&amp;#039;s what I absolutely love about QU. Remember to Dream!
