We Serve
On Thursday, November 19, CSUN’s United We Serve Volunteer Program brought out hundreds of items in front of the Oviatt Library. These non perishable food items had been collected through their food drive over the last month across the campus. The We Serve volunteers began their awareness campaign at the beginning of the month in honor of Homeless Awareness Month. CSUN’s Sundial described the food drive as the largest food drive the campus has ever seen.
The reason why We Serve placed the items collected in the food drive on the steps of the centrally located library was to allow the participants to visually see what their efforts created and literally, what they looked like. The ultimate outcome to be achieved from the food drive and demonstration was to feed as many unfortunate families and individuals as possible. To add to the aid of this less-fortunate group of people, We Serve also had goals of swaying people’s attitudes and perceptions of this large group of people.
In addition to the canned food drive demonstration, the We Serve Volunteer Program also hosted a Survive the Night event in attempts to motivate the involvement from participants. The Survive the Night event was a one night event where the participants experienced a homeless-like setting where they lacked the day-to-day comforts of food and shelter. We Serve has also planned to have some future events where they planned to feed the homeless.
Cali Bred Opinion: Definitely a great idea to display the efforts and bring awareness to prevalent issue. Cali Bred will also be keeping up with some of these future events and will continue to support CSUN’s United We Serve Volunteer Program.

There’s No I in Team
In the house on a Tuesday night? Finished studying a little early? Check out the intramural sports league on your campus. Intramural sports are offered at most university campuses. For those who don’t know what intramural sports are, they include: basketball, flag football, softball, even frisbee, and a few other team sports.
This team activity is a great way to get your work out on without the pressures of a recreational or organized team. Fraternities and sororities compete in various intramural tournaments, and these same tournaments are also available for the remaining members of your university student body through a separate, yet mutually similar league.
In addition to getting a nice work out, involvement in intramural sports is also a great way to meet new people around your campus. If interested in participating on your campus, get in contact with your university’s student union.

Over the weekend we celebrated a Cali Bred birthday fresh out of Vallejo, California, Kenneth Villagra. Celebration kicked off with the purchase of five bottles of Ciroc Vodka for the sVperb wholesale price of $85.00 (shout out to Tuan). The bottles were distributed amongst a host of Cali Breeds.
Friday night was the highlight event of the weekend, hosted by CSUN’s Beta Gamma Nu (BGN) Fraternity. The theme of the event was a Blue Luau. BGN family members greeted all guests at the entrance with a colored lei. Ladies got the sVperb ones of course while new recruits received solid white.
The layout of the event location consisted of an open yard with a sVperb pool that you can see in the pictures below. Overlooking the pool was an upscale patio deck which hosted a bar and seating as well. This is where we ran into founding member of BGN out of University of Southern California, Richard.
Apparently we must have been partying a little too hard because a ghetto bird decided to emerge in the night sky. But considering BGN is known as unstoppable, had to continue with a successful event. Shortly after dispersing from the first location, the hosts showed their guests to a second venue where we continued the fun through activities like dancing, beer pong, and of course the pool.
One Day At A Time
So I’m still playing with this whole lifestyle idea. The purpose of posting blog entries such as this one and the Who Says You Can’t Wear White After Labor Day is to get you familiar with the Cali Bred lifestyle. Aside from these day-to-day activities and smaller events, I have been networking with some other Cali Breeds who posses some other talents. Just being patient and lining up the proper approach of conglomerating and introducing their different works and how they reflect this same sVperb Cali Bred lifestyle. So within the upcoming months, hopefully weeks, Cali Bred will be introducing to you some sVperb Cali Breeds. With that, I leave it to you to discover where you natural talent lies.
