Rock Chalk Revue: Photo essay

Rock Chalk Revue took place March 6, 7, and 8. Ten fraternities and sororities participated in the variety show. Rock Chalk Revue officials estimated that around $40,000 from the proceeds will be donated to United Way.

Chi Omega and Beta Theta Pi won the “Best Show” award for their performance of “Tune Town."

“Better Left Unsaid” featured four other performances. Phi Kappa Psi and Kappa Kappa Gamma performed “A Write To Love,” Theta Chi and Delta Delta Delta performed “Flight of the Starquest,” Delta Upsilon & Pi Beta Phi performed “Singin’ in the City,” and Pi Kappa Phi & Alpha Gamma Delta performed “Snowed Inn.”

Rock Chalk Revue started in 1949 after creator and business student Roy Wonder came up with the idea. The proceeds from the first show, which 500 people attended, were donated to the YMCA and YWCA.

United Way of Douglas County became the official beneficiary of Rock Chalk Revue in 1983. In 2001 and 2002, the show donated $50,000 to the charity.
