Deepher Dude 2010!
Deepher Dude is a huge event. When they introduced it to the Xi class, we all pictured it kind of as talent show mixed with Miss (Mister?)
America 2010. It was so much more.
The show took an incredible amount of effort; I watched the committee girls work their tails off for months in advance to plan fundraisers, coordinate decorations, find sponsors, and recruit and select the dudes.
Walking into the auditorium on the night of the event was exciting, and our entire class was anxious to sit with all the wonderful sisters and to be a part of the show as the boys rapped their hearts out to us (thank you Dustin and Luke), and their brothers (Boomer and Tim, of course), and show off their talents (props to Harshi and Olivia Newton John, and Tom). Our emcees Pam and Elise entertained us all night and laughed with us at the contestants (really, have you ever seen somebody smash fruit in front of 300 people?).
The entire night was a blast, but the most touching part was easily the film shown of John Hollin, a man who ha
s battled cystic fibrosis for many years. The Xi class knew that what we were helping to fundraise for was an amazing cause, we’ve helped CFF help others, but this night created a whole new appreciation for our philanthropy and for our hard-working sisters, who donated so many hours of their time to make this event as amazing as it was.
Deepher Dude 2010 was a huge success, and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it. Even more so, I’m curious to see how long it takes Deepher Dude 2010 Joey D to stop fist pumping…
