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.
