As the cries died down, the crowd
separated and a large box was brought
to the center. When it was opened, 29
pigeons flew out, signifying that the
Olympics had oHically begun.
The first event was the wheelbarrow
race, eventually won by Gamma Phi
Beta.
In the next event, Kappa Kappa Gamma
teammates pushed tennis balls with
their noses to capture the tennis ball
push.
In the third event, the Alpha Gamma
Delta pledges dominated the leapfrog
race.
The four-legged race was next on the
agenda, as teams of three women, with
their legs tied together, sprinted to the
finish line. Gamma Phi Beta led the pack
to score another victory.
In the fifth event, Alpha Chi Omega
excelled in the water balloon toss.
The competition came to a flashy close
with a disrobing relay. Pledges, wearing
only their swimsuits raced to one end of
the field, donned boots and overalls, and
ran back to their waiting partneis and
stripped oH the awkward outer clothes.
Pi Beta Phi won the event.
Trophies were presented to the overall
winners. The women jumped and
shouted as Gamma Phi Beta was presented
the first place trophy with Alpha
Gamma Delta second and Kappa Alpha
Theta thiid.
