It's COLD!! But we're still having fun :)

The other night was Oneonta's 7th Annual Mr. and Mrs. Oneonta Pageant.

The room was packed with spectators. The evening started off with Hooked on Tonics. They sang 4 songs and had 4 soloists. They sounded classy and their harmony and melody was excellent. There were 28 contestants ranging from greek life to clubs who walked out to show off their casual wear before the three judges.

Then Andrew Horn came out and sang 2 songs. His tone was beautiful and he was very skilled on the guitar. When he was finished, the contestants came back out in their formal wear and then did their question and answer section. Then while the judges deliberated, Voices of Serenity came out to sing. They sang 3 songs and there were 2 soloists. I enjoy gospel music, so I thought they did a beautiful job.

Then the winners were annouced:

2nd runner up for the men was: Darren Daniels
2nd runner up for the women was: Brittany Thomas

1st runner up for the men was: Gavin Kelly
1st runner up for the women was: Mecalya Murphy

Mr. Oneonta State was: Jordan Haily
Mrs. Oneonta State was: Chi Upsilon Sigma (Her name was very long and I didn't want to butcher her name) I'm sorry!!

Friday, most of us will be heading home to enjoy great food and be around our families. Yay for break!!!!

Peace, Love

Great Times

First off I am proud to annouce that Pi Chi has 4 new sisters!!! Brittany, Steph, Sam, and Ashley, great job girls!!!

Events coming up are: Our one sister Mallory is going to be part of the Mr.&Mrs. Oneonta Pagent. Good luck to all contestants! Also, our other sister Alicia is going to be auctioned off to the highest bidder for a date, which I believe Phi Beta Sigma is hosting that.

This past weekend was a Pi Chi, Phi Psi ultimate frisbee/football game, due to the downpour and slippery environment, Pi Chi had a hard time keeping up with the offense of Phi Psi...but we will get them next time!

For two days Pi Chi, Phi Sig, Chi Upsilon and Mu will be having philanthropy tables set up to promote our philanthropies. When this will be is TBA.

The Way Things Are

School is in full spin before we finally get a break for Thanksgiving vacation.

We have our fall open house this weekend, we are getting ready for Relay for Life, later in Nov. is the greek annual faculty reception to show our gratitude to those that show support for us. We are also beginning to come up with ideas for our banner for the big Battle of the Red Dragons banner contest. And teachers want their say, so I'm sure I am not the only one who will be taking tests and doing A LOT of homework before break. I personally have a conference to attend this weekend, though it is only on Sat. and is being held at Cornell University, it's still a lot to do.

On another note, I must say I am CRAZY happy that the election is over. 2 years= wayyyyy too long. In my one class we all agreed that the election should only be 4 months and that's it. And I'm sad that this election wasn't as fun as the last. I'm not upset that my guy lost, a party can't win them all and I always thought no matter who won it would be interesting. I am so proud though that so many people went out and voted. I am also happy that Obama won with plenty of enough votes and electoral votes. It's always a nasty buisness when bad things happen ( like the Gore VS Bush election) It just turns people nasty and we don't need that. So it's done and let's move on as a country and fix ourselves up :)

Peace, Love
