![During last year’s club feud, BSU President Philipos Alebachew hosts the game show. With the game on the line, Alebachew waited for the competitor to answer. “I really enjoyed it,” senior Sydney Hester said, “I feel like it was a great way to bring all the clubs together in a competition. There were a variety of questions that a lot of people could answer, and different point-of-views were tossed around to see if they were the correct answer [shown] on the board.”](https://southwestshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Screen-Shot-2023-10-30-at-8.53.07-AM-1200x799.png)
After the success of last year’s event, BSU is set to host their second Club Feud today and tomorrow.
Similar to the actual game show, answers will be based on a poll that is answered by students. The questions that will be used in the game are situated around typical school activities, with clubs being tested on topics such as students’ favorite school cafeteria food, popular elective courses, and even what they believe is the best club.
“We actually make a little form of all our questions we’re gonna have, and we release it to school and ask students to fill out the survey,” Co-President Rediate Hunde said. “The amount of people who fill out the survey is our point system. Mainly, the questions are going to be focused on pop culture and school related questions.”
Using suggestions from last year’s feud, adjustments were made to accommodate the increased number of people participating in and attending the event.
“We decided, since we have more clubs playing this year, the games are going to be formatted differently,” Hunde said. “We only have one winner per day unlike last year where everyone was a winner. There also might be games on the side for audience members, because it can get boring watching clubs play for two hours, so you can play a game with your friend and enjoy the feud going on.”
In order to get students and clubs interested in the event, BSU has advertised the club feud around the campus and on the board members’ social media.
“This year, we have more flyers and posters,” Hunde said, “We also did a few social media videos that are posted, not on our page, but through the board and members. There were also more club sign ups, so we’re asking clubs to ask their members to come and watch them play.”
BSU hopes to foster involvement between other clubs on campus as well as promote their own association to other students who may be interested in joining, but haven’t yet had the chance to.
“Now that we’re doing more activities, like Club Feud [and] the volleyball [tournament], [BSU is] getting a little bit more involved in school activities, and is promoting engagement within the club,” BSU Adviser Tracy Taylor said. “It also gives students a reason to join the club and become interested in school events.”
