bweekinparadisel awareness of the growing homeless community. Each fraternity and sorority was required to pay an entry fee in order to participate. They were also given jars to collect donations while they camped out in their shacks. Each organization was required to have at least two members present at all times from 3 p.m. Sunday until 9 a.m. Wednesday in order to re- ceive points. All the money raised from the event was given to the local Habitat for Humanity to help build more low-income housing in the Harrisonburg area. Overall the event raised approximately $3,500. The participation was the highest it has ever been for any single community service event in the past, said Tamborini. Additionally, we found a much happier and more productive drive for each chapter due to their interest in the event and their belief in what they were working toward. The university ' s own version of Singled Out premiered on Monday at 8 p.m. m Grafton-Stovall Theatre. One sorority woman and one fraternity man were selected as contestants and were asked to fill out a survey of their ideal date. Fraternity men and sorority women interested in being chosen by the contestants were asked to fill out a similar survey. The Singled Out committee calculated the results and those seeking a date were released when their answers did not match those of the contestant. The contestant was given a lifesaver to use on the date seeker of his or her choice if they were dismissed from a round. By the final round, three date seekers were left and forced to do outrageous things for the opportunity for a date with the contestant. One date seeker sucked the toes of the female contestant while another gave the male contestant a seductive massage. The contestant chose the top date seeker and received gift certificates to popular restaurants in the Harrisonburg area. The new couples walked away to the cheers of a jam-packed Grafton-Stovall Theatre. Senior Kelly Smith partici- pated in Singled Out and made it to the third round, i thought Singled Out was a really fun experience, Smith said. It was a creative way to bring the Greek community together. On Wednesday, Battle of the Bands was held in the Festival Center Ballroom. Points were again awarded for the number of Greeks that came out from each organi- zation. The majority of the bands that performed had members from a Greek organization. The breakdance club also made an appearance to hype up the crowd. Greeks filled the Gommons on Thursday for Com- mons Day. The annual penny wars took place as each Greek organization was designated a specific lar in which to cram as many copper pieces as possible. Com- petitive organizations were also seen placing silver coins and dollar bills into other organizations ' jars in an effort to give negative points. 2g eatures
