Members of ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ’s student media organizations gathered on Oct. 16 at The Oak House for a night full of coffee, competition and trivia.
Teams were asked questions such as:
- “Who was the first President of Elon?”
- When all six of Elon’s student media organizations were founded
- The most-watched TV series of 2017-18
- The pop star whose birth name is Robyn Fenty
- Who is widely considered the inventor of the radio (to which the WSOE jokingly responded: “Bryan Baker,” the faculty mentor of Elon’s radio station)
Phi Psi Cli members Sarah Stone ’19, Lane Pritchard ’19 and Kaitlyn Fu ’19 won first place. The second-place team was comprised of members from WSOE 89.3 FM: Patrick Larsen ’19, Nic Zuhse ’19, Erin Pattie ’21 and Joseph Henry-Penrose ’20. Another team from the yearbook won third place.
WSOE’s General Manager Thomas Coogan ’19 said the trivia night was a way to bring all six groups together, which he hopes will happen again in the future.
“We wanted to increase collaboration and connectivity between organizations in a way we haven’t in the past,” Coogan said.
