Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 4 ALPHA PHI Continued from page 1 chose Alpha Phi in her sophomore year. The chapter was recolonizing after it was shut down in the 1970s. "The thing that sets us apart is our girls and the standards we hold for ourselves and our sisterhood. The type of girls we recruit we see as top girls and we are very choosy about that ... that makes our organization work," Scott said. Celeste Mickelson, a senior in psychology, said she has a close relationship with other members of Alpha Phi. "I'm from a small town and when I found out about the sorority [and got to know them] they kind of felt like family," Mickelson said. Ashley Duffin, a junior in broadcast journalism, describes the process of choosing a fraternity as "sort of like dating — they are my boyfriends when I don't have a boyfriend. The frat is with me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I can trust them to be there for me at 2 a.m. in the morning." k.mcdonald@ chronicle.utah.edu OKTOBERFEST Continued from page 1 held a pie-eating contest and snapped pictures in a photo booth. "It was a lot of fun," said Mary Neville, a junior in math and UPC director of arts and special events. "Great turnout, especially since it was inside this year. We are really happy about how it turned out." The music scene changed this year from previous Oktoberfests because of talent availability. "We usually go with a band called Salzburger Echo, they play up at Snowbird. But they were unavailable so we got the man that put together Salzburger Echo, Lloyd Miller," Nev- Monday, October 7, 2013 ille said. Lloyd Miller, the coordinator of The Oom Papas, the group that played at Oktoberfest, is not foreign to the U. While getting his Ph.D. in Middle Eastern studies at the U in 1995, Miller started a club called Noon Concerts that put on shows on Mondays. "Now I play every once in a while at the Heritage Center, but it's been a while since I've played here in the Union, so today was nice," Miller said. The event cost UPC $2,000, with the majority of the cost going toward food. Neville said over 500 students attended the festivities. Some students that attended the event enjoyed the food and taking in the music and participating in the in- aiss00000To0teilece0G0030000 famous "Chicken Dance." "I'm having a good time. My favorite part is the band, I love the free food. I love the chicken dance," said Paige Heyn, a senior in elementary education. Heyn also thought there was some room for improvement, especially with advertising the event. "Other than the obvious thing that's missing from a traditional Oktoberfest, I wish that I had a little more notice," Heyn said. "The only reason I found out was because of Instagram, which is fine, but more advance notice would've been nice. Longer hours would've been nice too because the time they had is when a lot of people are in class." d.bunting@chronicle.utah.edu J•B P•STIN Wird GROUP LEADERS (10.15 kids) for SLC School District After School program 19.5 hrs/wk; M-TH 2:30.5:30/6pm and Fridays 12:30-5:30/6pm.
