Giving Intramurals

As the College’s fiscal year comes to a close, we’ve made various appeals to you to stress the importance of giving to Wabash: first and foremost for our students, for Class of ‘91 pride, or just showing up the damn Dannies. Well, we have one more trick up our sleeve:

Intramurals

It’s hard to forget how heated the living unit rivalries became during IMs, especially during football, basketball, or softball games. I still pity those of you who had to officiate some of those games. And yes, it seemed that Phi Psi always geared their rush toward prospectives who could round out their IM prowess. “Oh, you’ve won national competitions in badminton and tiddley winks? Hey, you have to meet our rush chairman!” (Skippy and Shep, you know I’m kidding, right?)

So we’re appealing to your long festering sense of living unit rivalry. Given the numbers from yesterday, June 11, here’s how you rank by percentages of each house.
 

Living Unit % Rank
Phi Delt 50% 1st
FIJI 50% 1st
Beta 35% 3rd
Kappa Sig 32% 4th
Delt 27% 5th
Sigma Chi 27% 5th
Lambda Chi 26% 7th
Phi Psi 24% 8th
Teke/Theta Delt 22% 9th
Independent 20% 10th

So, OK, its probably not fair on the Tekes and Theta Delts who probably aren’t happy being lumped together. Nor is it very fair on the independents, but we don’t have easy data on which of you want to be affliliated with which dorm. And we don’t have any award or prize concocted, unless any of you has any good ideas…

But there it is, FIJIs and Phi Delts tied for first. The Betas need just three more guys to give to pull ahead of the field, Kappa Sigs need four, Phi Psis and Sigma Chis need six, Lambda Chis need five, and Delts need seven.

Just who’s given so far, you ask? Check the continually updated Honor Roll here. You can give…

  • By phone: 877-743-4545
  • On the Web: www.wabash.edu/alumni/egift
  • By mail: Wabash Annual Fund/PO Box 352/Crawfordsville, IN 47933 (checks payable to Wabash College)

You have two weeks left to support Wabash and do your part to win the Class of ‘91 IM Giving Trophy for 2008.
