The recipient of this year’s proceeds, an estimated $2,500, was the Lyme Disease Association, which raises awareness for the disease and funds education and research on the bacterial infection commonly transmitted by ticks.

“This year, we actually have a brother in the house who has a sibling that suffers from Lyme disease,” Sigma Pi President Nick Tolfree said. “It kind of hit close to home this year, so we decided to go with that to support him.”

Although the main goal of the event was to help the association, attendees also got a kick out of the pageantry.

As the hosts questioned the pageant hopefuls about their most embarrassing moments and their favorite way to spend a rainy day, innuendos and wisecracks abounded from the contestants while the crowd sounded their approval.

Talents ranged from singing and dancing to sandwich-making and lap dancing.

After knocking out the remaining two contestants in the last round, Stimach described the moment she was named Miss Greek.

“I was legitimately surprised. I wanted to cry a little, but I was just literally so excited I almost couldn’t control myself,” Stimach said. “I’ve never felt something like that before, where I won something because of my own doing.”

Sigma Pi philanthropy chair Brenden Carr said Stimach will be featured on the fraternity’s yearly portrait.

“It’s kind of a status symbol in the greek community for whoever the winner is going to be,” he said.

Tolfree said the night was about greek life coming together as a community.

“Greek life isn’t the stereotype that everyone holds it to,” Tolfree said. “We do care, and when we find a cause that we want to unite under, we do it.”
