Letter to the Editor
Stranded dancer shows meaning behind column

I agree with Chris Mueller's column "Some greeks distort real meaning of Thon" from Monday's Collegian. We appreciate the money raised, but the pride is too much, and the focus is lost. We announce the top money makers as a thank you, not to make it a competition. This column reminded me of a dancer I met an hour or more after Thon ended. As me and my fellow moralers waited to get our car jumped, a dancer joined us asking if we had seen a taxi pull up. After about 20 minutes he asked to use a phone to call another one, he explained that his "brothers" sent him a message saying they called him a taxi because they were too drunk to drive back. Really? Your "brother" just stood awake for 46 straight hours and you can't even give him a ride home? Don't worry, the unaffiliated new friends took care of him.
