5 Reasons To Be At Wings For Rings
Julia Mangan

Thursday September 15, 2016, at 9pm in the Party Barn at Rockhurst University is the first ever Wings for Rings competition! The event is hosted by Alpha Sigma Alpha. Teams of 2 will eat their way through a 28 team bracket to be crowned the first ever Hot Wing Eating Champions. One team member eats 5 wings, then both team members compete together in a relay challenge before the second team member eats their 5 wings. Top teams will advance on.

Even if you do not compete, there are still so many reasons to be there:

1) All the proceeds go towards Special Olympics.

Special Olympics is an international organization that is creating a world of inclusion and community, where every single person is accepted and welcomed, regardless of ability or disability. Over 4.7 million Special Olympic athletes participate in a variety of sports ranging from bowling to softball and everything in between. Everyone, including the volunteers, has fun at Special Olympic games. If you want to get more involved with this amazing organization, click here to visit their website and find out more!

2) It will be funny to watch the contestants eating so many hot wings so quickly.

Maybe I’m just a baby, but when I go out and order chicken wings I always order Sweet BBQ sauce, or something along those lines. And, I think the chicken at Chipotle is too hot. The wings being used are Hooter’s Triple Dog Dare wings, Buffalo Wild Wings Medium wings, and Nick and Jake’s Buffalo wings. I know that my mouth would be on fire the moment I set eyes on the plate, so I’m excited to see everyone else eating them.

3) There will be free food for all.

All participants, even if their team does not advance to a second round, are guaranteed at least 5 wings each. For everyone that goes, there will be refreshments provided because watching other people eat will probably make you want to eat too.

4) It’s the first time Wings for Rings is going to be hosted at Rockhurst University.

Wings for Rings has never happened before. If you come, you could have the chance to be a part of something big and amazing! When was the last time you participated in an event that had the potential to change your life forever? I can’t honestly answer that question. I don’t think I have ever gone to an event as life-changing as Wings for Rings promises to be.

5) It’s the perfect end to an amazing Special O week.

After a week full of events on campus and profit shares at nearby restaurants, you will likely be feeling tired and just ready for the weekend. Wings for Rings will give you that extra burst of energy needed to make it through Friday and onto the weekend.

And again, all proceeds go towards Special Olympics, so there really is no better way to spend your Thursday night!

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
