The Alpha Omicron duo of Cheryl Fiscus and Patti Howell captured the top honors for pledges. Sheila Stroub and Sheila Stratman took the second place prize for the pledge category. The men of Sigma Phi Alpha held their twelfth annual Sig Ep A-Go-Go the Union Building. As last year, the dance competition had been planned for an outdoor stage, but was moved indoors due fo rain. In spite of all o this, the event was once again a SUCCESS. Dance teams from each of the four sororities participated in the contest, with judging in two categories: actives and pledges. Ordinarily, each sorority enters one team in each category. However due to the large size of the pledge classes in fall ’86, they were allowed to enter two pledge teams. Winning top honors in the actives competition were Mikey Sue Roloff and Donise Herberer of Chi Omega, while Michele Beller and Mary Ruth Branstetter of Phi Mu danced their way to second place. In the pledges category, Cheryl Fiscus and Patti Howell captured first place for Alpha Omicron Pi and and of Chi Omega placed second. An added treat for the Go-Go ‘86 audience was a dance by four Sig Ep brothers to “I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On.” Also, the Golden Hearts enter- tained the audience with a dance to represent their little sisters organiza- tion. Following the competition, the fraternity held a campus-wide party to celebrate the event’s success. All in all, Sigma Phi Epsilon raised nearly $575 from entry and admis- sion fees which, along with the proceeds from other fundraisers, was used to purchase a new compu- ter for the Evansville Psychiatric Center.

Phi Kappa lau Derby Day Once again a success, Phi Kappa Tau’s annual Derby Day fundraiser brought in some $34,000 for the American Cancer Society in 1987. Preparation for the March 28th event began early, with a jail-a-thon and roadblocks held in the weeks preceding Derby. For the jail-a-thon, Evansville citizens were “arrested” and placed in a jail cell in the mall Each “prisoner” was asked to raise bail of at least $200 in donations to the Cancer Society by calling friends, family and area businesses. The day of derby, fun began with games held in the morning on the front circle. These included spoon- threading, a balloon toss, pyramid building, tug-of-war, an egg toss and a five-legged race, with the women of Brentano Hall taking home the first- place traveling trophy. The festivities moved into Lot H Saturday night, as the bands “Back Stage Pass” and “Area Code” enter- tained the Derby party crowd. Phi Mu’s Carla Knowling was crowned Derby Queen 1987 during the break between bands. Left: The women of Morton residence hall build a pyramid in record time.
