Okay so I know a Wednesday night is usually a night to recover from the Tuesday night bar experience and or a night to rest up for Thirsty Thursday. Therefore, I am writing to let all of ya’ll out there, young and old, know about the Annual Francis Marion Mr. Greek Pageant, sponsored by the Kappa Delta Sorority at FMU. It will be held on Wednesday, March 25 at 8:00 P.M in the Chapman Auditorium at Francis Marion University in Florence, SC. Sources say that it should last until about 10 PM and that it is guaranteed to be a great time! Humor AND raising money for a charity? Count me in! According to the event’s Facebook page:
“Mr. Greek, Kappa Delta’s annual pageant, helps raise money to support PCAA (Prevent Child Abuse America). 80% of the money raised will remain in the Florence, SC area at the Elizabeth Pettigrew Durant’s Children’s Center. 20% will go to National PCAA. Our goal this year is to raise $8,000 in donations, ad sales, penny wars, and various other fundraising activities leading up to this wonderful event. This evening will be full of fun events such as entertainment from the contestants and from guests who will perform for the audience.”
So the Flossette is encouraging all of you to take your friends, co-workers, neighbors and family out to this event! What more could you ask for? Hey, I’ve got an idea! Why don’t you just make a night out of it? Grab your friends for dinner, head to the pageant and then go out to one of the many local places in Florence for a cocktail!
Hope to see all of you there!

Disclaimer: I am not a Kappa Delta. I just saw this event online and thought it looked like a great chance for the Florence community to come out and support a charity and your local university!
