Tri Delta Pancake Breakfast

On Saturday, the Tri Delta sorority had their annual pancake breakfast. The breakfast began at 9am and ended at noon. All proceeds went to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. All the girls that belonged to the sorority contributed to the breakfast in three different shifts. The biggest part was getting the word of the philanthropy event in the open to raise as much money as possible for the Children's Hospital. Parents and friends also took a large part in supporting Tri Delta members by purchasing tickets or devoting their time to making or serving breakfast items. Large corporations located in Norman such as Starbucks, Burger King, and IHOP sponsored the event as well by providing breakfast items and utensils.

OU FIJI house to be dedicated on Saturday

The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, with its new house this year on campus will be dedicating its house this Saturday morning. This new house and its plans started back in 2007 with the fundraising led by the Phi Gamma Delta Alumni Association. Construction on the new FIJI house began in late May of 2009 and 14 months later finished days before the beginning of the fall semester.


The new house is listed at 29,000 square feet. It has 36 bedrooms for members, three living rooms, three study halls, three laundry rooms, one dining hall, and one kitchen. Also in the house, there is Internet, a media room, automated doors, and a security system.

Robbie Leach, a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity gave his thoughts on the dedication. "I think it shows how strong our alumni base is and how strong our Greek system is a OU."

Another member of the fraternity, Kyle Gist said, "The dedication helps the community".


This is the third time the fraternity has built a house since the 1920's. The cost of the house is approximately $6 million.

New Decade, New Season, New Goal...

It's football time again in Norman, Oklahoma. On Saturday, the Oklahoma Sooners will begin their 2010 campaign against the Aggies of Utah State. The Sooners will look to rebound from last years dismal 8-5 record. With all the rumblings on the expectations of this team, the Sooners are expected to have a much better season. A season that could possibly end with a chance to play for the BCS National Championship.



Last season was not only just disappointing to the players and coaches but to all the fans, especially the students. What are students around campus expecting of this Sooner team? Jared Schmidt a sophomore at Oklahoma gave his thoughts. "I think that we will be a lot better this year. There is no way we have the season we had last year, this year. I am so excited for the start of the season." Greyson Ackerman a sophomore at Oklahoma thought a bit differently. "Honestly, I am unsure on what we will do this season. How can you lose five games last season and be ranked in the preseason top 10. Of course I hope we can do well this season, but first they must prove to me they are contenders first."



With fans all over not knowing what to expect from this young Sooner team, anticipation is growing throughout campus, ready for Saturday night.
