Miss Greek 2000 was chosen based on a combination of resume, academics, community and sorority involvement. Miss Greek 2000 orga nizers, Delta Sigma Phi fra ternity, revamped the com petition this year, to avoid resembling a beauty pageant. “In the past, its been kind of a pageant. We moved away from that. We’ve focused on the girls themselves to make it into a more prestigious event,” 6 said Dustin Price, a junior information systems major. Lee said changes in the way the event is run makes winning the crowm a greater honor. “It meant more to me to know that it wasn’t just a beauty pageant, that they were actually looking into qualities and characteris tics as a person.” The women were judged on a 100 point scale, with 65 points based on the individual’s resume. The remainder came from T-shirt sales, questions asked by the judges, and online voting of quotes submitted by each girl. Making plans 'ii 4 j JP Beato/Thk Battalion Allison Lee, a senior mar keting major and mem ber of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, was named Miss Greek 2000 at the Miss Greek 2000 Banquet presented by th Delta Sigma Phi fraternity ben efiting the Texas A&M Bonfire Relief Fund. Rebecca Fennell, third place winner from Phi Beta Chi and a junior accounting major, appreciates the changes in more than one way. “It was able to focus on things that we’ve actually done and how we’ve helped with the campus,” she said. Fennell said she was also appreciative that the event raised $2,500 for the Bonfire Relief Fund, but found the changes in the event helped her entire sorority. Phi Beta Chi, a Christian sorority, was unable to par ticipate because of a beer company that sponsored Miss Greek 1999. “Last year we |Phi Beta Chi] were upset that we weren't able to participate, and we were really excited to be part of it this year.” Businesses in the Bryan-College Station area spon sored this year’§,ev.ei3t, whicji did not include jany alco hol-related companies. Election Continued from Page 1 spring elections. She said that while online voting would increase voter turn-out, she is hesitant because she wants to be sure of the system’s integrity. “Security matters is our biggest threat. We don’t want to destroy the integrity of the elections if it is not secure. We have had computer science professors look at it and people from CIS, but we want to test it first on something small-scale, like freshmen elections in the fall.” Jenkins also said that while only 25 percent of all the undergraduate students vote in spring elections, Texas A&M has one of the highest voter turnouts of all colleges. “Many people don’t vote because they don’t know anything about the candidates. And then some students complain about campaigning and getting fliers shoved ik 1 C-1 iZ-» 7^ ’ Use T °c.—A 0*4 r osrr or Cu«jufcS WITH cx. 's ■1M.-&EF5M ACT jSai+i. -IOT uosc » AufS T’ac rtAcrc!!
