NO. 1 PARTY SCHOOL

The Greek community at the University is one of the
most prevalent social systems on campus, and it played
a role in determining the University’s No. 1 party school
status.
“The popularity of the Greek system” was a factor in
determining the rankings, according to The Princeton
Review
“The Greek community is certainly strong here,”
said Wes Fugate, advisor to the Interfratemity Council.
“Greeks academically outperform non-Greek students

organizations hosted approximately 60 social events
involving alcohol.
“I expect that number to be lower this semester due
to the economic downturn,” FUgate said. “As recruit

“You don’t look at a Kansas on

Kansas and you think you've got
to bring your best game,” head
coach Steve Holeman said. “We
would have been happy with a
1-0 win, but to come out here and
get five goals is really a testa
ment to the depth of this team.”

The University requires
all 59 Greek organizations
to notify the Greek Life
Office if they’re having a
social event involving
alcohol, whether it’s on

they are encouraged to

game in favor of sophomore mid
fielder Susannah Dennis. Dennis’
impact on the game came Just as
quickly as Miller’s, as she wasted
no time in putting in what would
be the game’s most exciting goal
in the 35th minute —a screaming
shot that Dennis sent in with one
touch as it came down inside of
the box after being headed
upwards by a Kansas defender.
For Dennis, she was simply
following the game plan.
“As an attacking midfielder,
you’re supposed to follow up
inside the box. I saw the oppor
tunity and just went for the ball,”

fewer socials than they would otherwise.”
Fugate said he wants people to be aware that the
University’s Greek community is in the top 5 percent
for academics in the country.
“When people think we’re completely socially-fo
cused, I have to challenge that and say that our Greek
students are performing better academically than non-
Greek students," Fugate said.
Tori Alterman, sophomore and member of Pi Beta
Phi. said she thinks Greek life is a big part of campus,
but it doesn’t mean students in fraternities or sororities
party more.
“I knew people last year who partied way more than
anyone in my sorority, and they were not Greek,"
Alterman said.

Dennis said. “It felt really good."
Dennis was but one of 22 play
ers who followed the game plan
in what would amount to, accord
ing to Holeman, a complete
game. “We wanted to put them
under some pressure. We wanted
to play a system that would suf
focate their defense and not allow
them to play with a lot of time
and space,” Holeman said. “We’re
doing a better job since last week
of using our players out wide to
create good opportunities. Our
runs in the box are a lot more
organized, and we have players
stepping in aggressively to win
those balls.”
It was Dennis' aggressiveness

Sophomore
running back
adds to Dogs’
legal troubles
By NICK PARKER
The Red & Black
Running back Washaun Ealey switched from
No. 24 to No. 3 in the offseason, but on Friday
morning he became No. 8 —as in the eighth
Georgia player arrested this year.
According to police reports, after hitting a
parked car in the East Village parking deck,
Ealey refused to wait for University Police when
confronted by a University
Parking Services employee and
was therefore charged with hit
and run and driving with a sus
pended license —a fact Ealey was
well aware of, according to Richt.
“I’m not happy with it. It was
foolish. He knew better. He knew
better,” head coach Mark Richt
said. “He knew he had a suspend
ed license and said he wouldn't
drive. But he decided one little
short distance won’t hurt. And it
did. He’s paying a severe price for that.”
That severe price will come in the form of a
"minimum one-game suspension” handed down
by Richt, as Ealey joins wide receiver Tavarres

E-mail revokes
Florida tickets,
no explanation
Students want answers
By KATIE VALENTINE
The Red & Black
Some students who thought they would be in
line today to pick up a Florida ticket aren't going
to have to make the trip after all.
A number of students who had applied for a
Georgia/Florida ticket received an e-mail Friday
saying they had been awarded one, only to
receive another e-mail a few hours later saying
they had not.
The second e-mail was sent anywhere between
one and eight hours after the first, students said.
The second e-mail advised them to “please dis
regard the previous e-mail you received concern
ing Florida.” It then informed these students
they had not been awarded a Florida ticket, and
any charges for the ticket made to their account
would be credited.
“It’s a pretty big mistake,” said Elizabeth
Harrison, a junior from Vidalia. “You would think
that, being a university, they would have their
things in order so they wouldn’t make that big
of a mistake.”
