Delta Psi Present’s Greek’s Got Talent
Greek's Got Talent, a Greek System version of the show America's Got Talent, is a philanthropy event sponsored by the Fraternity of Delta Psi benefiting the Catch-A-Dream Foundation.
Catch-A-Dream grants once-in-a-lifetime hunting and fishing experiences to children with life-threatening illness. Its singular purpose is to provide outdoor excursions to fill the gap when Make-A-Wish established national policy to not allow wishes involving hunting or the use of "...firearms, hunting bows, or other hunt or sport-shooting equipment.
Miss University, Katherine Barkett, will be the emcee for the event, and there will be a special performance by the new 2011 Ole Miss Idol, Tonya Herron.
“This is the first year we’ve done the event, and we’ve had a lot of success this year with It.” said Senior Delta Psi, Jason Darby
There were seven contestants in the Greek’s Got Talent event. All of the contestants were girls, and active in a sorority on the Ole Miss campus.
Miss Emmalee Rainey of Alpha Omicron Pi won Greek’s Got Talent with her song of choice, “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence and the Machine. “I got a really awesome fish trophy.” said Rainey
This was Delta Psi’s first time putting this event on, and it went smoothly and had a big turnout. They plan to keep putting on “Greek’s Got Talent” every year from now on and hope to continue raising money for their charity, Catch-A-Dream.
