Sorority Girls
In the process of making brackets for March Madness, everyone was asking who can we get that knows nothing about basketball. Being in a fraternity on campus, this was an easy task for me. So I called up a sorority member that I know from UT-Chattanooga. This was painful and entertaining at the same time. Three of the number one seeds were knocked out in the first round. This also consists of great runs by Coastal Carolina and Harvard. Her final four consisted of Kansas, Louisville, OhioState, and Duuuuuke. Of course, Duuuuuke would be picked as the winner. — Jake Miller
