Should you be royalty?

It might be too late to get a pony or live in a castle, but if you’ve always had royal ambitions, it’s not too late to work on that inner sparkle. Prepare yourself to waltz at state dinners by stopping by an IU Ballroom Dance Club meeting every Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. in HPER 171.

The Student Alumni Association holds free etiquette dinners each semester to teach SAA members how to dine with the best. Students may register online to attend the interactive dinner where they are served a five-course meal and learn how to present themselves during formal affairs.

Or, be real-life royalty like Maggie Delaney, a previous Miss IU. Delaney held the title for the last two years, since she won as a freshman in 2008. Delaney’s platform is supporting IUDM. She danced in IUDM her sophomore year for her sorority, Delta Gamma, and now serves on the event’s Morale Committee.

“It helps to get involved in something you’re passionate about,” Delaney says. “Miss IU needs to be a girl who is well-rounded and connected in campus life.”
