"We should have had one four years ago." Both Thompson and sophomore Mary Vellutato agree that the formal is "definitely a must for next year." Alexander also "liked the quality of the formal," "The caliber of the crowd was different," he said, commenting it was "as good as the Greeks', that the food was good, and that people didn't get smashed." While Alexander thought the formal had its good points, he also noted some changes that he thinks should be made. "Dinner was a little too late. I think we should have hors d' oeuvres instead. Also, I think the OJ should have shown more videos," he said. Overall, the general consensus is that it was a fun time. "People who didn't go and beard how much fun it was told me that they wish they had gone," said Snyder.
