Shelly Burnett, member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and a junior journalism major, won Miss Greek 2001 at Delta Sigma Phi’s Miss Greek Banquet at Pebble Creek Country Club. The Miss Greek Banquet is de signed to celebrate the accompl ish- ments of the top Greek women on campus, and the contestants for the title were judged in various areas, with emphasis on demonstrated lead ership and service to A&M and to their sororities. Burnett has held leadership posi tions in various A&M organizations, including the Freshman Leadership Development Retreat, Howdy Week and HOSTS. “I tried my hardest while wor king toward [Miss Greek],” she said. “It was so much fun spending time with my sisters and having their support.” To earn points for the competi tion, each competing sorority participated in service projects for the communi ty. Each contestant aimed to have 10 percent of her sorority help with pro jects in the Bryan-College Station area, including the Brazos County Food Bank, Girl Scouts-Bluebonnet Council and retirement homes. Jason Finehout, Delta Sigma Phi president and a sophomore business major, said the Miss Greek contes tants brought out more than 250 — women to complete over 1,0(K) hours of community service. “The community service was my favorite part,” he said. “It was rl-O warding to see the sororities gi^g support the Greek system may not know enough about it to understand. “Sororities are extremely impor tant,” Burnett said. “We have so many things to offer. Greek women give to the campus in so many ways.” Finehout presented Burnett with a $1000 scholarship as Miss Greek. blind/' Apryl UT ... » f ? ent °[ (NABJ) and April efrom differe vice president of ^knowledge thi executive directorof: students' lear eir classes.

One factor that did not play a rqle, in determining a winner was physi cal appearance. “We’re rewarding them for what they’ve given to A&M,” Finehojut said. “Beauty can only go so far, and it doesn’t have an applicable use [for Miss Greek].” The judges based their decisions on an application, the number of votes each contestant received on the Miss Greek Website, percentage of sorority participation in a service project, T-shirt sales and a question posed at the banquet. Finehout said the banquet also served as an opportunity to bring sororities, from different councils together.
