I don’t think anyone was surprised when the Greeks dominated the Homecoming ballot this year, but Sigma Kappa took it took a whole new level when they swept every single category this homecoming.
Mean Girls said it best: “Raise your hand if you have ever felt victimized by…” Some are insinuating one queen nominee was doing just that.
I think we can all agree, homecoming got a little messy. A full-blown war among the homecoming court: threats, ballot stuffing, slander.
While everyone investigates this pretty public battle, my question still remains: how can a regular person even compete with Greeks, let alone Greeks who are being investigated for cheating their way to the win?
This year, only 10 percent of the entire student body voted for the homecoming court. 10 percent, really? And a little interesting fact, 6 percent of the university belong to one Greek organization or another.
I would bet money, 99 percent of all those Greek students voted this year, if not all of them. I am challenging any Greek student to prove otherwise.
I don’t know how many students actually went to the game Saturday, but Greeks were loud and proud for their nominees.
The non-Greek queen nominee trailed the next closest person by more than a hundred votes.
This university is being ripped in a thousand different directions and the Greek community is dealing with possible repercussions for their questionable behavior, so with all that being said: could the common student finally have a fighting chance at the crown next year?
“I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school… I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy…”
Get real, this popularity contest is ridiculous! Middle school is correct. Does a regular student have a chance at homecoming royalty next year? After a year like this…yeah, probably not.
This behavior is embarrassing. School spirit should not just mean Greek spirit. Greek spirit should have high enough standards to fight fair.
Let’s all have a little more class, and keep in mind, it’s not just yourself that you represent, but also this university.
