11 a.m. at the Schine Box Office. Tickets are available for all SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students and staff, and cost $10 with a valid college ID. Rockie Fresh, an upstart young Chicago rapper on Rick Ross’ record label, has turned
heads with an alternative style of hip-hop and five mixtape releases. He has shared the stage with artists like Ross and Big Sean, and plans to release his debut studio album this year. Headliner Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, a housemate on MTV’s hit reality show “Jersey Shore,” is also working on his first album. Named the seventh highest-paid DJ in Forbes Magazine’s “World’s Highest Paid DJs” list in 2012, DJ Pauly D’s first single, “Back to Love,” peaked at the fourth spot on the iTunes Dance Chart in less than 24 hours. “DJ Pauly D puts out fun, energetic hits Syracuse students can dance to,” Fleisher said. “He’s known for mixing between Top 40 and eclectic house beats, so he appeals to different genres, which is something we always consider when picking talent.” DJ Pauly D was listed on the Schine Box Office calendar Friday, which Fleisher said was the result of a miscommunication between UU and the box office. “We will continue to work hard to make sure all parties are on the same page about announce dates,” she said. Fleisher said she hopes the energy of the show will help bring SU students out of the mid-winter doldrums. Said Fleisher: “We want to put on a fun, high-energy show that people would come out and have a great time at, despite how bad the weather is outside.” ervanrhe@syr.edu @TheRealVandyMan

Even fraternity members of Zeta Beta Tau and Alpha Tau Omega joined in the celebration. Tessa Xie, a freshman mathematics and economics major, said receiving a bid from Alpha Gamma Delta was “like a dream.” AGD was Xie’s top choice because she felt really comfortable inside the house and talking to all of the sisters. “During rush I really connected with all of

I’m so blessed.” Freshman Audrey Cilento said she was happy with her bid from Kappa Alpha Theta, but was originally nervous she wouldn’t receive a bid. “Everyone I knew wanted a bid from Theta,” Cilento said. She added that Theta was her top choice because it has the highest GPA on campus, but also a great social life. To Cilento, this was the “best of both worlds.” “To me, Theta was the best representation of Syracuse,” she said. “That’s what made me really fall in love with it.” mhnewman@syr.edu @MerNewman93
