I am writing in regards to the article in the paper for Monday, March 29 about Greek Sing titled, ‘Oompa Loompas, James Bond take over stage.’ I was very disappointed that all of the houses that won awards were not mentioned. It seemed very unfair that there was room for four extensive paragraphs about a house that didn’t place and comments about ‘fluttering skirts,’ but somehow the writer could not even fit in the name of all the houses that won awards. This is including Theta Phi Alpha and Lambda Chi Alpha, which won third place and most original, and Tri Sigma and Phi Delta Theta, which won the best vocals award.

I am aware that the purpose of the event is not to win awards but to raise money for the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, which I do believe is a great cause. Houses spend months preparing elaborate shows to make this event truly great so others will want to attend and support that great cause. It is absolutely unacceptable when they succeed in this and their efforts go unnoticed by your staff writers.
