| Transcript | Performing for the bearing and Speech impaired G< rONG--was the trend at the Sixth Annual Delta Zeta Gong Show. Several groups were given the perennial banging of the gong by judges Georgia Ann Ruffeno, Astros Steve Finely, and 91 Parent of the Year Glenn Lilie. The Delta Zeta Gong Show was a talent show that was held each fall to support Delta Z eta's philanthropy. Amber Martin, chairperson for the event said that preparation began in the summer, "We couldn't even count the hours our committee spent working on the event. Each year we see, not only more acts entering, but better talent as well. We rise in attendance each year, and I think this is a direct reflection of the creativity of the acts each year." Approximately 475 people filled the Houston Room to watch this year's 14 act line-up. The performances included live bands, lip- syncs to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kris Kross, Sir Mix-Alot, and several well choreographed dance steps from many sororities. The Delta Zeta national philanthropy is directed toward the hearing and speech impaired. "We raised over 3,000 dollars for The Houston School for Deaf Children and the Delta Zeta Foundation, which supports several charities like Houston Ear Institute and Gallaudet I Jni- versity," said Martin. Gallaudet University serves as the only college for the deaf. First place went to the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Behind the audiovisual skills of Billy Bryant, Sigma Chi transformed the Houston room into Wayne's World via DZ TV. Second place went to Delta Gamma, who displayed their dance abilities, in perfectly executed dance steps. Third place went to Sigma Nu's Pat Brown, who went acappela and sang Drift off to Dream by Travis Tritt. The crowd could be seen swaying back and forth admist brightly-lit lighters. The spirit awards for the night was taken by Delta Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon. -Tony Rodriguez GONG...Delta Zeta member K.K.
