On Friday, October 23rd, the NOIR club hosted ‘Friendly Feud’ , their spin on CBS’s Family Feud. The idea for Etown’s very own family feud came from NOIR member Marvellous. Marvellous and fellow member Kalen said that they talked about doing this event last year. The original plan was to have it be against other schools such as Penn State Harrisburg, Franklin & Marshall College and Millerville. Due to a lack of time, they decided to put a hold on the event and do it this year instead.
At the event 12 teams competed against each other, two of which were actually other schools. Penn State Harrisburg and Millerville came out to the event to compete against Etown students. Penn State’s team name was Penn State Harr is boring and Millerville competed as E-ville. A couple of other team names at the event were Noisemakers, 10s, 67s, Clam Pearls, and Men Are The Problem just to name a couple. The event even had their own Steve Harvey, who was NOIR member Kalen.
The majority of the event’s questions were of course college student centered such as ‘What do most people do before going to bed’ and ‘What is something that seems cheap but actually isn’t.’ Member of the team Noisemakers Collin Harbaugh said that he thought the event was really fun and it got him outside and he would 100%. I asked him what was his most memorable thing that happened and he said, ‘the most memorable thing that i remember happening was probably my teammate saying that brownie is an ice cream flavor.’ After many rounds Clam Pearls and 67s faced off in the finale of the show and ultimately 67s came on top winning the game. In the winning team were Etown students Brynlee Fosko, Aubrey Delong, Samariah Chase, and Lucy Dunn.
After the event I asked Marvellous and Kalen if they think they’ll do this event again. Marvellous said ‘Definitely. I think it was such a great turnout that we might actually try the different school, like versus the different schools.” So make sure to keep an eye out for more possible information on that and other NOIR club events.
