Judges name Rob Edwards 2nd annual Mr. Greek
After the votes were in and points were tallied, Delta Upsilon fraternity member Rob Edwards was named Mr. Greek on Tuesday night. The 2nd annual event combined fundraising with pageant-style competition. All fraternities were encouraged to participate, and 15 housed and not-housed chapters “donated” a representative to the cause.
A sell-out crowd turned out for the event. Tickets were sold for $5 in advance and $7 at the door, with proceeds benefiting the Cardiac Care Unit at Sacred Heart Medical Center. Organizers aren’t sure of the total proceeds until after expenses are calculated, Alpha Phi Philanthropy Chairwoman Ashley Rexius said.
Before the competition, each fraternity earned points by selling event T-shirts and dropping money in a house jar, each manned outside of the University bookstore by Alpha Phi sisters. At the event, one representative from each participating house was judged on the basis of a swimsuit competition, evening wear, talent, an interview, grades and congeniality points.

Last year, Nick Montgomery of Sigma Chi won the competition, and the event raised more than $5,000.
