THANK YOU!

The numbers tell it all! 

Thank you to all Stedsmen, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, grand and godparents, friends, people of goodwill, Saturday’s squirrels, pets of all species… and anyone else who we are forgetting...THANK YOU for rallying to our cause this ND Day.

It's true. Some other residence halls and University clubs made a run at Steds, but as the day progressed, most of them lost their steam. Still, some appeared at of nowhere, like the Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving, and for awhile, traded the positions with Steds for fifth place overall. And then, it was Dillon Hall, who received a large gift, pushing them in front of both the swimmers and Steds. But Dillon couldn’t hold on to its lead. Why? Because of YOU. 

Because of you, we rallied in the last moment of the day, and now, are once again the #1 residence hall of this ND Day. And if you are counting, this is now the three thousand six hundred and fifty-first  day of our time in the pole position. Yup, this win makes it ten years in a row!

And if that wasn’t enough, we also surpassed our perennial nemesis, Financial Aid! That’s right, we passed them too, and in the end, we landed in third place overall! Without any doubt whatsoever, Steds truly is the small hall that could!

On St. Ed’s showing this ND Day, I don’t think that words can capture how grateful we all are. And we are mots grateful. To be honest, as the rector of the winning hall, it is most humbling, and though it might sound trite, all I can say is a sincere and honest, “Thank you.” BUT, if pressed, I would have to say, “A united Steds has never been disappointed!” 

... and we're moving on up...

... and it's a win for the kids!
