Roadrunners Got Talent November 5, 2009 marked the merging of two successful programs into one phenomenal event. Greek Life in partnership with Campus Activities Board held an event known as Lip Sync/ Roadrunners Got Talent 2009. Both Greek Life Lip Sync and Roadrunners Got Talent were separate events in the past, each successful in their own way, but both had just one piece missing that would have made them truly great programs. Lip Sync is one of four activities that takes place during Greek Week(Nov 1-Nov 5), where both male and female organizations compete against one another in the humorous dance and song lip syncing competition. Roadrunners Got Talent showcases the many talents of the UTSA students. Emceed by a Comedian Michelle Buteau, Lip Sync and Roadrunner Got Talent 2009 came together for a capacity crowd in the University Center Ballrooms. Over 600 students, staff, family, and friends watched the performances of nine Greek letter organizations and five talented acts from UTSA students. Sigma Pi International Fraternity and Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority emerged as the victors for the men’s and women’s Greek categories and Amiksha Shah for her classical dance of India originated from Tamil Madu became the Roadrunner’s Got Talent winner. |

Nearly 600 students participated in a letter writing campaign to increase awareness of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Participations were asked to bring 35 names and addresses of family, friends, former teacher, or coaches etc. and asked to send provided letters to these individuals to inform them about the good works of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and ask for a donation to continue in their efforts. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the world largest research and treatment center for cancer. St. Jude provides treatment and amenities for families in need that have children battling some of the deadliest forms cancers at no cost. Up ‘til Dawn is fundraising campaign for these efforts that began in 1999 and the UTSA is one of 260 campuses across the country that hold similar events. After the letter writing campaign a series of fun activities take place, including a volleyball tournament, dodge ball tournament, inflatables, a movie showing, poker tournament, washer tournament, a raffle for a Nintendo Wii and country western dance room concluding at 3 a.m. Sunday morning. In cooperation with Campus Activities Board the event featured Jared Campbell an acoustic guitarist and vocalist. Student Government Association sponsored an inflatable bungee run and sumo suites for participants and pizzas where donated by Dominos and Cici’s Pizza. 10,434 letters were written for St. Jude. Last year $12,000 was raised from nearly 8,000 letters. This event was previously ran by UTSA fraternities and sororities and this year was opened to the entire campus community. Special Thanks to the Green Society, VOICES, and the Air Force RTOC for their support in volunteering for this event. |
