Pi Kappa Phi's Jordan Burns, Wichita, junior, points to where he believes the rare red picci pachu bird is as Jason Murray, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and Michelle Gates, Omaha, Neb., freshman, look over his shoulder at the Annual Rock Chalk perfomance Saturday in the Lied Center. Pi Kappa Phi's performance, "Double Booked," was done with Gates' sorority, Delta Gamma, and was about a camp that had been double booked by two drastically different groups, bird watchers and hunters. It was awarded as the best overall performance. For more scenes from the Rock Chalk Revue, view our photo gallery.

More than 3,500 people attended the Rock Chalk Revue this weekend in the Lied Center, an annual variety show performed by greek organizations. Proceeds of the show will go to the United Way of Douglas County.

Pre-ticket sales generated $18,000. Donations were still being calculated yesterday, Craig Van Blaricum, Rock Chalk business manager, said.

Delta Gamma sorority and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity won the award for best overall show, “Double Booked.” The musical comedy featured a squabble in a camp between bird watchers and hunters. The conflict came from the two groups reserving the same weekend to watch and hunt birds.

Nine greek organizations participated in Rock Chalk’s 56th show.
