When the Greek Fest activites were in full swing, the Student Activities Counsel hosted their "Deal or No Deal" game show after the Lip Sync event on Feb. 21.
The game is based on the popular television show and allowed students to win money as well the audience to win door prizes.
The emcee for the game show was Coordinator of Greek Life Louis Ragsdale.
The participants were selected by their ticket stub number and were allowed to bring three friends on stage to help them.
The first contestant selected was Abbey Wilkes, an Education major and a member of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. Wilkes picked her way through the cases until she was only left with two cases to choose from and the choice to take the deal of $100 or no deal. Utilmately, chose not to make the deal and was awarded $200.
Next was Lindsay Beth Hughes, a Business major and a member of the Chi Omega sorority. Hughes also stayed in the game for quite some time, working her way to the final few cases. With her final decision between two cases, she won $100.
Christopher Turner, a senior Communications major and a member of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, was the next contestant chosen from the audience. Turner was made five different offers over the course of his play until the sixth offer was made of $100 and he chose to take the deal.
The final contestant of the night was Erin Latendresse, an Animal Science major and a member of the Chi Omega sorority. Latendresse was only made a few offers before she decided to take the deal of $88.
The SAC also gave out many door prizes such as t-shirts, pizza certificates and an MP3 player.
