greek unity

I like the way Mr/Miss MSU is handled. Any group can nominate a member for these honors then a committee selects through interview and qualifications the names that will actually be on the ballot. This process is not perfect and I am sure at time can be quite political but it seems to work. I wish that the Homecoming Court was made up of one elected maid from each class and one maid chosen by the MSU student athletes. As it stands now, Greeks comprise 100% of the court which in no way reflects the composition of the MSU student body. Each house should only be allowed to nominate one person for a maid/Queen. My understanding is that years ago (6 or 7) all houses worked together and nominated one Greek per class while the other spot was nominated by other groups such as the Famous Maroon Band, Pan-Hellenic sororities or clubs on campus. DG broke away and that is where the crazy campaigning began (by everyone not just DG) and independents were wiped off the Homecoming Court.

Maybe you can only use social media to campaign for Miss MSU. I remember seeing it last year for Miss MSU and that is all I have seen this year.

Queen: Jenni Brown
Senior: Bri Stewart & Kaeley Gemmil
Junior: Camile Jones & Kacie Green
Sophmore: Morgan Ashley McCormick & Taylor Thoms
Freshmen: Halee Register & Margaret Burleson

Mr&Miss to be voted on tomorrow. Block vote won Queen and every maid and DG won every other maid (actually I think by vote they won Senior outright and came in 2nd for the others).

SA put out a tweet earlier tonight with a link to the actual results with the vote count. The post above is correct. The united sororities won Queen and one maid in each class. DG won one maid in each class with their senior maid winning with the most votes (11 over 2nd place).

Your comments do offer a different perspective. My only comment is from what I have been told by DG friends at several different Universities the issue with advisor control is a systemic problem for DG. I think change will be very difficult but wish them the best in their pursuit of gaining control of their chapter.

I find it hard to believe that any nonDG on this campus cares enough about DG to put so much effort into writing so much at this hour of the morning in their defense. Maybe a little damage control going on here. These posts suggest we should "feel bad" for them or "cut them some slack" because of what's been inflicted on them??? Seriously??? DG sold their integrity for a few spots on Homecoming Court. They've chosen to manipulate the process to advance their own interests. This was not catty remarks on an anonymous website. This was not simply about "Greek Unity". This was an official and public decision, made with complete disregard for the Panhellenic Creed which they have committed to uphold. And, please, no more talk about advisors or alums. The girls nominated their sisters, they accepted the nominations, they campaigned and they voted privately. They individually made the choice to do each of these things when, at any time, they could have chosen differently. I hope it's worth it.

This is poster #9. I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm not going to try and convince you because you seem to have your mind made up. I was 100% honest in what I wrote, but I did expect people to disagree. And that's fine, but I stand by all my comments. I love my sorority and all the others because of my close friends in each, even when I don't agree with the sororities actions as a whole.
