By Arielle Haynes, Seminole Student Booster President Tallahassee is more than just the State’s Capital. Florida State University is more than just a college. Together this town and college make up a community that is strong and rich in tradition. The center point of commerce in the panhandle, Tallahassee was established as the place of, well, unity. Florida State, with it’s colonial diplomat ties, lives in brick and mortar, seasoned oaks and enduring voices; in a legacy of excellence. The TRUE Seminole Campaign, initiated by Seminole Student Boosters in 2007, is an University sponsored effort to unite the entire Seminole community, lead by prominent ambassadors, the students of Florida State.
TRUE Seminole, which stands for Tradition Respect Unity and Excellence, consists of a few programs, most notably a Tee Shirt sale which, in two years, has raised over $150,000. The TRUE Pride Tee (available at FSU retail stores) is the Official Football Game Day T-shirt.
