Kappa Kappa Gamma still leads the overall homecoming standings after Simpson won Wednesday night’s trivia competition on a tiebreaker question.

Simpson is now tied with Kno Way Man — an alliance between Koon, Galloway, and Waterman residences — for second, followed by New Dorm in fourth, and Niedfeldt Residence in fifth.

In the trivia competition, Kno Way Man took second place, followed by the Off-Campus Coalition, New Dorm, and Chi Omega.

Junior Jaden Camero and sophomore Jonathan Williams, the leaders of the Simpson trivia team, said sophomore Grady Stevenson was the key performer on the team.

“All credit to God,” Williams said in an interview after the victory. “All credit to Grady Stevenson.”

The tiebreaker question asked teams “How many individuals could be held in the Ancient Olympia stadium?” Williams said Stevenson’s “instant gut reaction” was 45,000 — the correct answer.

“But then he started leaning towards possibly 49,000,” Williams said. “We said, ‘No, Grady, stick to your gut, that’s what’s gotten us to this tiebreaker.’ And sure enough, he had it right. We lost our minds.”

Stevenson said he’s looking forward to the rest of the week’s activities.

“It was a great feeling to work as a team to win the trivia competition,” Stevenson said. “I can’t wait to see our guys in the rest of homecoming.”

Kappa Kappa Gamma took first place in the banner and video competitions to start homecoming week and held the lead heading into the trivia competition.

Seniors Bessie Benham and Claire Henzel said they spent about 40 hours on Kappa’s black-and-white banner depicting the Parthenon and other ancient Greek images with letters along the bottom reading “Return with your shield or on it.”

“We decided we want to represent women who wanted to call men higher and be the ones who are crowning the victors,” Henzel said. “That was our vision for it.”

Henzel said they chose a black-and-white color scheme to dramatize the banner’s imagery.

At banner drop Monday morning — when teams roll their banners out for display in the student union at midnight — Benham and Henzel said they saw the floor above the dining hall bending under the weight of chanting students.

“It was going up and down while they were jumping,” Benham said.

Junior Sarah McKeown led Kappa’s video production, a “Real Housewives” parody featuring women in ancient Greece.

“It wasn’t one person creating the entire project,” McKeown said. “It was very collaborative and really highlighted people’s strong suits.”

Kappa President and senior Evelyn Kilty said winning was not the sorority’s only focus during homecoming.

“It’s something where you’re going to remember these sorts of experiences from Hillsdale years down the line,” Kilty said.
