Pageant raises money for hearing-impaired university

By Molly Thurber

Greek members will strut their stuff for charity tonight in the annual Dream Man and Greek Goddess pageant.

The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Holmes Student Center’s Carl Sandburg Auditorium.

Delta Zeta will host the event to raise money for Gallaudet University.

Gallaudet is the only four-year university in the United States that caters to the hearing impaired.

“The most money we have ever raised was $5,000,” said Danielle Dosen, a corporate communication major who is also the coordinator of the event.

Men and women from different fraternities and sororities will compete for the title of Dream Man and Greek Goddess. They will compete in a talent portion, a formal wear portion, a swimwear portion and will answer a question.

“The contestants earn points in each of these categories along with house participation, penny voting and an interview conducted at the Delta Zeta house a week prior,” Dosen said.

Tickets are available at the door for $7.
