A Bracket Worthy of Athena
MAWRch Madness pits traditions, campus spots, icons head-to-head.
惇蹋圖s very own MAWRch Madness bracket put traditions, campus spots, icons, and study spaces head to head, with Mawrters placing votes for their favorites.
Bell Ringing or Garden Party? Owls or Athena? At the penultimate round it was a contest between Lantern Night and the lanterns themselves, and when the madness ended, lanterns came out on top. Participating Mawrters had some fun along the way.
Round 1: The Madness Begins
Tammy Metz 03: This is genius.
Zee Mirza 05: Fun. Hard choices for some though! Owls vs Athena...
Devon Monty-Pasha 06: I would say that a tradition will win. My guess is on May Day.
Beth Posner 89: Posting from my office at UNC, where we know a thing or two about March Madness, but where I have never participated in a bracket. I'm pulling for this in the FINAL FOUR: Lantern Night and Cloisters and Athena and Quita Woodward Room.
Rita Hunt Smith 88: Voted. Some were hard choices, but all brought a smile to my face.
Jenn Thoman 15: So glad that Quita took Campus Center! Was getting worried there for a minute...
Round 2: The Sweet 16 and the Battle Heats Up
Christina Wagner 11: Omg that was awful!! Owls vs. Lanterns?! How can anyone pick. It came down to what would I tattoo on my body, if that sound logic helps anyone else.
Leila Lei 17: And then theres also Lantern Night vs. May Day. :'(
Linda Friedrich 89: I LOVE Mawrch Madness.
Round 3: The Elite Eight: Lantern Night vs. Step Sing? Cloisters vs. Great Hall?
Erica Roggeveen Bryne 03: Love this! My prediction for the championship round is Lanterns v. Lantern Night...
Amanda Chudnow 03: Ooh Erica, that's a good call! And a tough decision!
Danielle Dubow 88: So hard to choose!
Rhonda Newton 90: Especially between Lantern Night and Step Sing!
Round 4: The Final Four: Lantern Night, The Cloisters, Lanterns, Carpenter
Helen Freeman 02: As an archaeology major, I am unreasonably happy to see how well Carpenter is doing (even if its about to go down).
Charlotte Rahn-Lee 05: How to choose between Lantern Night and the Cloisters?? If the final is between lanterns and Lantern Night, I am going to laugh a lot.
Jessica Lynn Collett 06: How could it be anything else? But Lantern Night is only four nightsyour lantern is forever!
Emelin Gasparrini 07: Arg, it just keeps getting harder!
Mary Wessel Walker 06: Aww, I wanted Quita to go all the way.
Round 5: The Championship: Lantern Night vs. Lanterns
Nancy Schmucker 98: An impossible choice!!!!!
Devon Monty-Pasha 06: Lanterns last forever.
Nancy Schmucker 98: Oh, but that tradition! Knowing that thousands of women did it before you. Its really special.
Luann Abrahams 87: Cant get a lantern without Lantern Night
Rebecca Nowlin Green 93: Ah, but no Lantern Night without lanterns to bestow
