In my time as a Buckeye, I’ve visited just about every Big Ten stadium, been to a handful of conference stadiums and a few bowl games. That said, I’ve never before witnessed the level of homophobic vitriol that I witnessed last night. Sure, it’s a problem in all of sports, but in all of my travels I’ve never before been called a “faggot” or “queer” more often than I did walking around your campus before the game on Saturday night.

BY KAYMAN WHALEY KWHALEY@STATENEWS.COM

Comparable to how alcohol gives people liquid courage, anonymity can allow people to express what’s really on their mind.

Yik Yak is an anonymous social media app that is available for iPhone and Android users. The app allows you to post and view posts from people who are within a 1.5 mile radius of you.

The way the app works is when you see a post you can either reply to it, “downvote” if you disagree with the post or “upvote” if you like it.

Once a post receives five downvotes it is removed.

Stupid, right?

This can create a snowball effect. Someone will downvote a yak and others will see that the post has received downvotes and will continue to play the follow-the-leader game until the post is removed.

Upvotes of a post can eventually develop it into a popular vote seen by thousands of users. Once these posts become popular, they can then be copied, pasted and reposted as someone else’s yak to be posted.

It’s silly, no doubt about that. A way to quickly release a quirky thought may be appealing to some. But sometimes, comical can turn into coarse very quickly.

Users feel safer posting profane statements

through Yik Yak they wouldn’t usually verbalize.

Some of my acquaintances, who are Yik Yak users, have mentioned that sometimes it can become irritating when people try to search for a love interest on Yik Yak. That’s what Tinder is for. The world we live in doesn’t need any more catfish.

A recent post said, “I find more pride in being a top yak than getting a 4.0.”

Do you really? Being proud to post nothingness to populations of nobodies who have no idea who are you is sad.

I guess you could say I’m an outspoken person — some may even say I’m blunt. Whatever the case may be, I just want people to know whatever I’m saying is coming from me and my mouth (or keyboard).

Why are people so eager to speak out when their name and face is a mystery? Simple — if there is no source to be credited to, then nobody can get dragged down for what they dish out to other people.

Hiding behind posts is cowardly and childish.

So I guess Yik Yak is somewhat better than parody accounts on Twitter, since the relevance of the posts have to do with people in your neighborhood or who attend your school. Meanwhile, parody accounts on Twitter are fueled by people who post general cheesy statements and opinions.

Parody accounts are accounts owned by people who shield their identity. They usually display themselves as someone well-known, such as Kylie Jenner, or a general interest such as MSU Crushes.

Just like anything new, Yik Yak will get old. It’s kind of like fireworks. Once it begins, it’s captivating to watch, then after about 30 seconds you realize you’re staring at the same thing over and over again.

College of Nursing receives $1.2 million to support home-care program for elderly adults Many aging adults prefer to live independently in their home, even as their health and skills begin to deteriorate.

The MSU College of Nursing has been awarded a $600,000, three-year grant to help elderly adults receive care at home, instead of being admitted to a nursing home.

The Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation awarded the grant to the College of Nursing through its Innovations in Care program, which is a multi-year initiative created to develop nursing-driven projects targeted toward vulnerable populations.

The state of Michigan is matching the grant, which gives the college a total of $1.2 million in funding.

All funds will support the MiCAPABLE program, which provides home care and other services to allow older adults stay in their homes and communities. With such support, they aren’t forced to enter an assisted-living home.

Program participants will receive 12 weeks of home visits from a registered nurse and an occupational therapist. They will also have access to a handyman to help them with problems in their homes that they might be difficult for them to fix.

Other services include home modifications, such as the installation of bathroom grab bars, and training on how to avoid falls.

The Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation selected the College of Nursing as one of the 23 finalists to receive the grant from more than 260 applications.

“As a nursing student at Michigan State, I think it’s a huge honor that we were chosen out of so many other eligible nursing schools,” said nursing senior Mary-Jo Julin. “This will give us the opportunity to expand and allow us to advance our programs, while at the same time enhancing our education and learning experiences.”

Students and alumni turn hops into beer and business

BY AMANDA CHODNICKI

THE DREAM It will take some time for The Hop Brothers, as they’ve named their start-up, to grow.

“We’d like to have all 20 acres set up as hops within, hopefully, the next five to six years,” Schaul said. “We’d like to have the whole field filled.”

In addition, they will create a brewery in the barn they renovated.

“We want to set up big kettles inside the barn and then have a tap room, so when people come up to check out the farm, or the hop yard, they can come try our beer as well,” Schaul said.

ACHODNICKI@STATENEWS.COM

Some Spartans just enjoy going out and drinking beer, others enjoy the process of brewing it.

Alumnus Devon Ferris said he spent a good portion of his time as an undergraduate making beer.

“Oh, it’s fun,” Ferris said.

“But the best part isn’t even drinking your own beer. It’s sharing it with others and seeing the look on their face after.”

Ferris’ dad bought him a brew kit when he turned 21, so they could brew together.

“So when my dad and I see each other, we always like to drink each other’s beer and talk about what we did and give each other tips,” Ferris said.

Ferris said he just brews with his dad and doesn’t know other brewers at MSU — but he’s not really the only one.

BREWING BROTHERS Food industry management senior Joseph Schaul said he and his brother, an alumnus, both brew.

“I have my brew kit up here and my brother has one set up at home, so we kind of text each other back and forth like, ‘What are you making this week?’” Schaul said.

Unlike Ferris, Schaul said he and his brother started brewing without a kit.

“We went straight into it,” Schaul said. “We just did some research off of Reddit and various websites like homebrewtalk.com and you see pictures.”

Food industry management junior Joseph Schaul brews and bottles his own beer on Thursday at 196 Spartan Ave. Schaul said the process takes hours to prepare and takes weeks before it is ready to be served.

Growing up, they helped their father with his concrete business, so they’ve always been hands-on people.

Schaul said they cut off the top of a keg to make a kettle for brewing. Underneath, there’s a burner to boil water.

Schaul said they enjoyed the whole process, from mashing the grain to putting the hop plants, or hops, into the mix.

“We started really liking hops and the smell of hops ... the aroma hops gave,” Schaul said. “We also start-

definitely see ourselves working on the farm.”

THE IDEA This summer, Schaul took an agribusiness management class and shadowed a farmer at one of the largest hop farms in Michigan, Hop Head Farms.

Schaul brought his brother along, and that was their first time seeing a hop farm. Schaul was drawn to the tall vines that grew thick and bushy.

“From there, we were like, ‘We should do this,’” he said. “We could

THE BEGINNING Using 20 acres of land in their hometown, Benton Harbor, Michigan, the brothers decided to give the hop business a try. They set up a 10th of an acre on their farm as a hops nursery, and a trellis and irrigation system.

“We haven’t sold any hops to any businesses yet because it takes three years to get a maximum yield,” Schaul said.

IN THE MEANTIME While he’s at school, Schaul spends his time brewing in his garage in East Lansing.

“We have a little storage for our bikes and I just go in there listen to some music, hang out, talk and brew,” he said.

Like Ferris, Schaul said he hasn’t met many people at MSU who brew at home. He said he thinks it’s because they have limited space to do it.

“Not everyone has a garage like me,” Joseph Schaul said.

“That’s why I was I thinking I would love to start a homebrew club.”

He wants others to experience the feeling of accomplishment he receives after the brewing process is complete.

“It’s just the satisfaction out of doing something with your hands that you get out of your final product,” Schaul said.

Jeffery Taylor sentenced to 18 months probation, batterer’s intervention program After pleading guilty to domestic abuse charges, NBA player Jeffery Taylor has officially been put on 18 months of probation.

The full police report regarding the incident that took place in September has also been released.

Taylor, a forward for the Charlotte Hornets NBA team, will not spend any time in jail. He was placed on an 18-month probation program that includes a 26-week batterer’s intervention program.

In addition to not drinking any alcohol during the 18 months, Taylor will have to pay $1,800 in court fines for the charges to be expunged from his record.

The police report stated that Taylor and

his girlfriend of about 3 years were drinking at HopCat in East Lansing and returned to his room in the East Lansing Marriott at University Place.

At the hotel, Taylor slammed his girlfriend into the wall and struck her right arm, which left a hole in the wall.

An employee of the Marriott hotel witnessed Taylor shoving his girlfriend through a doorway and slamming her head against a wall. The employee separated the parties and Taylor stormed off before police arrived.

While Taylor was being arrested, both he and his girlfriend said they wanted to avoid another “Ray Rice incident.”

Somali students offer introduction to often-overlooked culture East Lansing residents Nima Osman and Fatimia Mohamed eat traditional Somali food on Friday at the Eppley Center.

The Somali Association of Michigan hosted the event complete with a presentation, food, and a fashion show.

As music and laughter swirled around students on Friday night, knowledge about one country in the Horn of Africa passed between them.

Student members of the Somali Association of Michigan hosted their annu-

al Somali Cultural Night at the Eppley Center, and attendees from a variety of backgrounds were immersed in the food, music, clothing and history of Somalia.

The students involved with SA M arrange the cultural night every year in an attempt to educate students about their roots.

“We try to get our culture out there

because many people don’t know where Somalia is at or that it even exists,” biomedical laboratory science sophomore and SAM President Abdulkadir Muridi said.

Muridi said he hoped students would experience something new and leave with a better understanding of Somali culture.

Human resources management soph-

omore Fatima Saif said people should learn about other cultures because the world is so interconnected and so diverse.

“When you get to know about other cultures, they get to know yours. It’s a global exchange of culture,” Saif said.

Saif said she went to Somali Cultural Night to support her friends who coordinated the event and was interested in learning more about Somali life.

“Even though I have Somali friends, I know almost nothing about their culture,” Saif said.

Interdisciplinary studies of social science senior and SAM member Hajiow Haji wanted to bring awareness of Somalia to MSU students through the event.

“Most people have a negative view of Somali culture, I want to change that,” Haji said.

Both Haji and Muridi got involved with SAM when they were in high school. The organization reached out to them through a mentoring program, encouraging them and other young Somalis to continue their education after high school.

“When I came to MSU, I thought I should join the organization that helped me get there,” Muridi said.

The mentoring program, along with the other services the organization offers, makes SAM extremely important to Muridi.

“We throw events both on and off campus, reaching out to students, mentoring them, educating about college, and urging them to get a higher education,” Muridi said. “We want them to prosper.”

In addition to mentoring programs, Muridi said he and other SAM members go to the Refugee Development Center in Lansing to provide services for families that just came to the United States.

“Our executive board is all first-generation college students — we all came to the U.S. from Somalia and know how hard it is,” Muridi said.

He said they want to ease the transition for refugees and make them feel at home. Muridi said the group’s work is not restricted to campus or the local area. They want to help as many people as possible.

Muridi said SAM also holds fundraisers to send money to Somalia and other countries that need financial assistance.

“This organization is for people who have a kind heart and like to reach out and help people ... we’re here to help the community,” Muridi said.

Chittenden Hall reopens as grad school’s permanent home Until last Friday, MSU’s graduate students had no central space they could call home — no place to go to for support.

In an effort to create an environment that would bring everything and everyone associated with the graduate school together, in addition to celebrating 20 years in their current configuration, the graduate school was moved into the newly renovated Chittenden Hall.

This building had been vacant for 14 years but “it had so much potential,” said June Youatt, provost and executive vice president of academic affairs.

Though the building was newly renovated, the historical character of the building was maintained. They retained many historical elements of the building such as the wood flooring, wainscoting and blackboards.

This movement to Chittenden Hall pulls the staff together, as opposed to them being spread apart in three different locations in the past, and creates a home for all things related to graduate students.

“This is the last remaining building from lab row, and President Simon, then provost, specifically set it aside for the graduate school,” dean of the graduate school Karen Klomparens said.

“It feels like the heart of the campus.”

The newly renovated Chittenden Hall will dedicate its space to helping graduate students and postdoctorates gain professional, career and academic development.

“It’s going to be like a neighborhood for the graduate students,” Klomparens said. “Our graduate students make up close to 20 percent of MSU’s students body.”

“We are going to help develop the future of MSU — our graduate students are the future,” said Klomparens.

“This renovation is going to give the graduate school a real identity,” President Lou Anna K. Simon said.

Council of Graduate Students President Emily Bank suggested that the graduate student support services will not only have more programs centered around COGS’ mission to promote academic excellence, but “it gives graduate and professional students a stronger sense of community.”

“It was a statement to make this move now — and to do it the way we have done it,” Simon said.

Ohio State ends College Football Playoff aspirations for MSU football Freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett and the Buckeyes burned the Spartans for 49 points on Saturday, embarrassing the historically stout defense and bringing to an end MSU’s ultimate goal for the season

BY GEOFF PRESTON GPRESTON@STATENEWS.COM

he dream is over.

After months of speculating whether or not No. 12 MSU (7-2 overall, 4-1 Big Ten) would have enough quality wins to make it into the inaugural College Football Playoff, Saturday night all but eliminated those hopes.

No. 8 Ohio State (8-1 overall, 5-0 Big Ten) racked up 568 yards of total offense on their way to a 49-37 win in East Lansing, likely eliminating MSU from the playoff conversation and certainly making a trip to the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis a lot harder.

“They came in for revenge and got it,” defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi said. “We didn’t step up and meet the challenge.”

UNCHARACTERISTIC DEFENSE For years under head coach Mark Dantonio, the identity of the Spartan program has been relentless defense that doesn’t give up many big plays.

Saturday night was not one of those games. OSU seemed to do whatever they wanted against the Spartan defense.

Freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett passed for 300 yards and three touchdowns while adding 86 more yards on the ground and two additional scores.

“The bottom line was we couldn’t stop them,” Dantonio said. “You have to evaluate that … we have to play better in that area.”

Narduzzi said OSU didn’t throw any different looks at the Spartans that they weren’t prepared for, they just didn’t make all the plays.

“They had a couple different plays, a couple of different routes, but nothing we weren’t able to adjust to early,” he said.

“Just didn’t make plays. That’s what it comes down to.”

The secondary, in particular, was burned for more than one big play. Senior Kurtis Drummond said Barrett deserves a lot of the credit for the Buckeye win.

“J.T. had a great game,” he said. “He executed the game plan, guys around him stepped 6

WHAT NEXT? For MSU, the goal that was talked about all summer appears to be out of reach, but there are still three regular season games and a bowl left for the Spartans.

For players and coaches, the goals are to finish the season out and continue to get better.

“It’s a disappointment in your life,” Dantonio said. “We’re going to have a lot of disappointments in our lives. That’s what we talk about all the time.

It’s going to be how you respond to those disappointments.”

Dantonio said he didn’t think the outside hype of playing for a spot in the playoff trickled into the locker room and affected the players.

“We focused on this game,” he said. “We had Ohio State coming in here. We understood the ramifications of everything.

team and I knew there would be push-back from them.”

Senior offensive lineman Travis Jackson said adjusted goals can’t be the focus of the team moving forward.

“You really don’t focus on that stuff,” he said. “You focus on what you can and can’t control.”

Drummond said it’s hard to rank this loss on his career list, but said losses for a senior are especially hard to get over.

“You want to win every game, so every loss hurts,” he said.

“When it’s your last time having a shot at teams, it hurts. You can learn from losses.”

Drummond said the goal for the team now is to finish the season on a high note.

“This is a great group of guys so I know we’ll bounce back,” he said. “The rest of the season is about playing hard and finishing the rest of our schedule out strong.”

THE STATE N E WS

MONDAY, NOVEMBE R 1 0, 2 01 4

BY ROBERT BONDY RBONDY@STATENEWS.COM

I woke up on Sunday morning thinking about what I had witnessed the evening before at Spartan Stadium and realized it would be easy to write how the season is lost. That all of the goals are off the table.

And MSU can simply pack it in until next fall. But that’s not the case.

MSU (7-2 overall, 4-1 Big Ten) entered the prime time matchup with Ohio State looking to truly throw its name into the national conversation. With a win, the Spartans would have had firm grip on the Big Ten East Division and all but guaranteed its third trip to Indianapolis in the last four years.

Even bigger than that, a win over the Buckeyes would have been that much-needed marquee win for the Spartans’ College Football Playoff resume.

But as senior offensive lineman Travis Jackson said after the Spartans’ 49-37 defeat, all of that is would have, could have, should have.

The Big Ten championship is all but lost now for MSU. A berth in the inaugural College Football Playoff is officially dead. The two goals this team had planned from day one are no longer attainable.

But the season, as a whole, is not lost. MSU still has a lot to play for.

MSU has three regular season games left on its schedule, all of which heavily favor the Spartans. With that being said, MSU should finish the season 10-2. That would mark head coach Mark Dantonio’s fourth time with a double digit win total over the last five seasons.

Before Dantonio took over in 2007, MSU recorded only two seasons that saw 10 or more wins, with the last coming in 1999 under Nick Saban. That in and of itself is something Spartans should let sink in.

Dantonio has built a winning program in East Lansing, and with consistent winning comes lofty expectations. This season’s expectation was taking that next step — playing for a national championship. So with that goal officially ruled out, it’s understandable why the fans of Spartan nation are going to feel the sting of this one for a while. God only knows how long.

But when that sting goes away, if you aren’t oblivious to what Dantonio has created at MSU and how far this program has come then you’ll be happy with a 10-2 finish. You’ll be happy with a non-playoff New Year’s Day bowl game. And you’ll surely be happy you’re a Spartan, and not associated with that dumpster fire down the road in Ann Arbor.

I’ve been told by family and older relatives that this generation of Spartans doesn’t know how good they have it. And they’re right. Because not too long ago, the man leading the Spartan ship was more known for slapping himself than winning football games. It might sting right now, but in the end I’m sure Spartans will be happy with another 10 win season and New Year’s Day bowl game. It certainly beats the past.

Bonin setting records as freshman Freshman swimmer Chanel Bonin has impressed the coaching staff with her dominant performances at swim meets

BY KATIE WINKLER KWINKLER@STATENEWS.COM

Only two months into the season, freshman swimmer Chanel Bonin is making her mark on MSU’s record books.

She currently has the team’s top time for the women’s 50 back (26.38), which Bonin swam on Oct. 17 against Iowa. This past weekend in Buffalo, Bonin set the team’s season record for the 100-yard back (57.64) and the 200-yard back (2:05.88).

“There are a lot of people ahead of her in the pecking order because they have a lot more experience, but she could be one of the best ones we’ve ever had here,” head coach Matt Gianiodis said. “She has that kind of ability. She has a long career ahead of her.”

Prior to Bonin’s collegiate career, she was a five-time All-American and 15-time All-State swimmer at South Lyon High

It was another tough-luck Spartan loss on Sunday afternoon.

MSU (13-12 overall, 6-8 Big Ten) could not slow down white-hot No. 4 Wisconsin (22-2 overall, 13-1 Big Ten) at Jenison Field House, losing in straight sets, 3-0 (23-25, 19-25, 22-25).

“Just another disappointing day, I really want to stop having those,” sophomore outside hitter Chloe Reinig said.

“I thought we came out strong and we had them down and then we kind of just shot ourselves in the foot, we really got to stop doing that.”

MSU held its own early and often against the Badgers, which was a stark contrast to their lackluster performance on Friday night against Minnesota. The Gophers defeated the Spartans in four sets to open the weekend.

The Spartans were in position to win the first set, but back-to-back service errors by MSU when the score was tied at 21 was enough to give Wisconsin the edge. The Badgers won the opening set, 25-23.

Wisconsin took control in the second set, jumping out to a 6-2 lead courtesy of a couple of MSU service errors.

“We had opportunities to close things out and we just made some unforced errors,” head coach Cathy George said. “It’s been a little bit of an Achilles’ heel for us.”

Service errors were catastrophic for MSU, who gave away nine points compared to the Badgers’ four.

“We had a lot of dumb errors today,” Reinig said after finishing the contest with a gamehigh 15 kills.

If it wasn’t for the errors, MSU might have had a chance at an upset. The Spartans were able to hit at a .330 clip, which is the best percentage a team has had against the Badgers all season.

Despite a 4-0 run when Wisconsin was on match point, MSU could not get over the hump. MSU dropped the second set, 19-25.

The Spartans found their rhythm momentarily in the third set, compiling separate 5-0 runs to take a 15-10 lead but it would not be enough.

Wisconsin went on an 8-2 run of its own en route to a 25-22, set victory.

“I thought the fight was there,” sophomore middle blocker Autumn Christenson said. “We just really needed to execute.”

Christenson finished with 7 kills and a .385 hitting percentage.

The Spartans will travel to No. 13 Nebraska (16-7 overall, 10-4 Big Ten) for a matchup against the Cornhuskers on Wednesday night.

In the last matchup between the two teams in mid-October, Nebraska defeated MSU in four sets, 3-1 (25-20, 25-18, 22-25, 25-23).

Theatre freshmen get the chance to prove themselves

BY BRITTANIE CHLUDZINSKI BCHLUDSINSKI@STATENEWS.COM

While performing in his first official show as an MSU student, theatre freshman Mike Merluzzi had one goal in mind — to impress the faculty and establish a name for himself in the MSU Department of Theatre.

This year’s 8th annual Freshman Showcase provided Merluzzi and the other first year students in the theatre program with the opportunity to highlight their individual talents and prove what they are capable of in a performance setting.

"The overarching goal is for most of the faculty to step back and see what we can do on our own at this point in our careers, so they know what we are building off of, and what we can build onto,” Merluzzi said. “I really want to show how well I can work and have people say, ‘If he can bring this to a freshman showcase, what can he bring to a fully mounted season production?’”

Written and directed by Dionne O’Dell, instructor of arts and cultural management within the Department of Theatre, the play titled “Make Me Famous” portrays the consequences associated with the desire for fame and power. Merluzzi said each character in the play was assigned to two different students, which allowed the performance to highlight the versatility among the freshman class.

“I think one of the coolest things about the show is that we all come from different schools and teachings, so it’s a very unique blend.

We are bringing a collaboration of different styles and techniques that we have learned previously before adopting the MSU style and approach,” Merluzzi said.

Aside from following the script and being assisted by O’Dell and other faculty members, the freshmen were given the freedom to design a large portion of the show on their own.

All of the students took on design positions in which they were responsible for coordinating different elements of the show including the set design, lighting, props, costumes and even the sound effects. Working as the head of the sound crew, theatre freshman Sidney Anderson said this creative freedom allowed them to personalize the show according to

what they wanted to share with the theatre community.

“It was a ver y interesting opportunit y because I feel like every element of theater was involved and whatever you wanted to display as your talent, you were able to,” she said.

Since many freshmen wanted to highlight

their musical talents in addition to their acting skills, they also collaborated in selecting songs and poems that were performed between each scene of the play.

Anderson said this degree of collaboration allowed everyone to become acclimated with the dynamics of this new generation of theater

students, while establishing new relationships.

“I think it really opened our eyes to who we will be working with for the next couple years of our lives,” she said. “It not only gets us excited for the future, but it gets everyone in the department excited for what they have to work with.”

Spartans show off skills in talent competition

BY LESLIE HEMENWAY LHEMENWAY@STATENEWS.COM

Most contestants in Spartans Got Talent sing or dance. Marketing sophomore Chris Ryan wanted to make the audience laugh.

Ryan was one of the few MSU students who performed a standup comedy act at the Spartans Got Talent event, a talent competition put on by the University Activities Board that took place Nov. 7 at the International Center.

“I’ve been doing stand-up for one year, so my first stand-up gig was last year,” Ryan said. “I did Last Spartan Standing. I got an audience favorite for that.”

Since then, UAB has had Ryan open up for various comedians.

“I just go wherever I get a gig. If you got money, I’ll try to make you laugh,” he said.

While Ryan said he enjoys what he does, he plans on pursuing a career in marketing as opposed to comedy.

Alpha Phi, fraternities play football to fundraise for heart health

BY MEAGAN BECK MBECK@STATENEWS.COM

Elementary education junior and president of Alpha Phi sorority Katlyn Clouse has lost three of her grandparents to heart attacks.

For Clouse, raising money for women’s heart health is an important cause and close to her heart.

On Sunday, Alpha Phi sorority hosted their second annual “Capture A-Phi” philanthropy flag football game to raise money for the Alpha Phi Foundation, which supports women’s heart health.

Taylor Rogers, public policy junior and vice president of marketing for Alpha Phi, said she likes how their philanthropy makes the sorority unlike others.

“For greek life, the one thing that makes your sorority or fraternity unique is your philanthropy,” Rogers said. “I think this is what makes Alpha Phi different and makes us special, because it’s women’s heart health and something we’re really passionate about.”

“Capture A-Phi” is the sorority’s fall event which returned because of last year’s success.

Fraternities and members of the ROTC were invited to participate in the game in hopes to win a trophy and the opportunity to have dinner with the women of Alpha Phi at their chapter home.

Clouse said the former philanthropy chair of the sorority brought the event to MSU after she heard about it from another chapter.

“It went really well last year and this year we doubled our participation,” Clouse said.

Rogers said 26 fraternities were in attendance and the event raised more than $2,600.

“We definitely did a lot better this year than last year because more people knew about it and people wanted to participate, which was exciting,” Rogers said.

The final game match-up was between Sigma Chi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon took home the trophy, inscribed with Alpha Phi’s Greek letters.

Economics junior and member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Brandon Sullivan said his team trained in preparation for the event.

“We live by the motto of ‘winners always win’ and that’s what we did here,” Sullivan said. “It feels good to be on top, everybody wants another championship T-shirt and trophy.”

Sullivan said even though there is no offseason for him and his fraternity, knowing something is being done for the community feels good after the event is over.

“When you pay for this, it’s nice to know it’s going towards something good and not just playing the game,” Sullivan said.
