I worked with Phi Delta on bringing Margaret Durante to campus. It was going to be joined with the race they planned to have that Friday. Due to the Greek Life instance around this time, the race was canceled and that left the concert to be by without a conjoining event. We then had to combine the prizes and find a way to make money for the fraternity’s philanthropy. It caused problems with the state’s raffle rule, and therefore did not go the way that I wanted it. There were only about 60 people total that were there. I wish that there would have been more people that showed up. However, I think that having the event on a Sunday was not a smart choice.
I do like that Takenote ended up opening for Margaret Durante, even if they did not specify that they were going to show up. I loved that people showed up and that the fraternity made money for their philanthropy. I liked that Phi Delta was very willing to help out with meetings and things. However, I think that when working with the contact, Scott Harkey, he requested too many meetings that did not accomplish much of anything. I wish that I could have been a contact with Margaret Durante’s agent. There was a lot of confusion when it came to when she was coming and who she was bringing. It also took him a long time to get the rider.
As far as advertising we went, we put up fliers, passed out fliers at the Miranda Lambert concert, and made a Facebook event. I did not have time to send a mass e-mail and our website was not up and running. I think the event would have been more successful if it was attached to some other event, because she is not that famous of a performer. I also think that if it was not on a Sunday night more people would have attended. I was not completely satisfied with this event, and I would caution in the future to make sure that all of the contacts are shared between us and the organization that we are working with.
