NOTE: Your tickets will be held at the entrance to Hooligans if you purchase your online tickets November 11-15.

JOYANN PARKER is the best Twin Cities female singer you've never heard. Imagine a sober Janis Joplin. And that's a good thing. Imagine a taller Shemekia Copeland without the my-dad-was-a-blues-star pedigree. And that's a really good thing. There's pain in Parker's heart - and in just about every song she writes and sings. And, onstage, the grimace on her face, the clenched fists and the ache in her roar let her listeners know that she knows hurt...whatever she plays, Parker owns it.  She's a powerful, animated blues-rock singer, capable guitarist and pianist, and a writer of praiseworthy originals

Men interested in joining a fraternity at Minnesota State Mankato, who have not already joined a chapter through summer or early Fall recruitment, will want to take advantage of the opportunity provided through Structured Recruitment. Through this process, they will be able to meet members from all of the fraternities on campus and will be able to make a decision about where they best fit. Some chapters will continue to recruit after this process, but some may begin their member education programs and choose not to accept Fall new members after this process. Events begin on Wednesday, September 18, with an optional, but highly-encouraged Fraternity Meet-and-Greet from 7-9 p.m. The actual Structured Recruitment process takes place Thursday-Saturday, September 19-21. Those participating should be available for the whole process. "Bid Day," or the day on which men may actually receive bids, or invitations to join, will be Sunday, September 22. In order to register, you will need both your MSU StarID and your TechID numbers. For further information, contact Breckin Grinnell, VP of Recruitment for the Interfraternity Council, at breckin.grinnell@mnsu.edu.
