Eleven freshman sorority members prepare to serve as representatives of each Greek house in Lambda Chi Alpha’s annual White Rose Pageant, on Wednesday, April 18.
The pageant was started in 1986 by Matt Hamilton and his fellow fraternity brothers, and continues today as one of Lambda’s biggest fundraising event, according to the OU Lambda Chi Alpha Alum website.
All fundraising proceeds from the White Rose Pageant go to the Big Brothers of Cleveland
County.
Like most pageants, White Rose is comprised of various sections, including a questionnaire and talent portion.
Whether it is tumbling, playing an instrument or dancing, a wide variety of talents from each sorority are expected to take the stage in this year’s pageant.
Freshman Catherine Holtmyer has selected a familiar ballet piece to use for her talent section.
“I think a ballet variation, especially on pointe, is a good talent representative because it shows such beauty and strength in each movement. I’m really excited to have the chance to perform this and show my friends how pretty of a piece it is,” Holtmyer said.
Last year’s winner, Kappa Alpha Theta Sarah Klein, won the pageant with her talent of a piano and song piece. Delta Delta Delta Alicia Clifton was first runner up, with her originally choreographed dance, all according to OU’s Lambda Chi Alumn website.
Sophomore Claire Henson, Holtmyer’s sorority “big sister”, attended the pageant in 2011 and plans to go to this year’s event.
“I know there’ll be some good competition this year, but I think Catherine will be great in the pageant because of how poised she is. She handles herself very well and I don’t think it will come across any different on stage,” Henson said.
The pageant will begin at 7 p.m. in Holmberg Hall. Tickets will be sold prior to the event and at the door for 10 dollars.
