Slogan Satisfaction

To all my Virginia Tech Hokies - this blog is dedicated to you.
                    it is a plea, a call for your advice

As I have been sitting at home the past week doing various things, the job of choosing two slogans for the 2011 Hokie Effect shirts has been weighing on my mind.

(For those of you who don't know, these are an example of the 2008 shirts...you get the concept)

So here is where I need your help. I am going to list some of my favorite slogan submissions, and you need to let me know what you like and don't like. In the end, I have to choose a top two for each shirt and go from there...ready:
*NB: These are in no particular order at all.


1. Enter Sandman, Exit Victorious
        *now, as great as it would be to have this on the shirt, there are some legal rights that I would have to work out/have been trying to work out, but it is not as easy as it seems.

2. Every play is a Ho-Key Play

3. Enter Sandman. Beamerball. Ut Prosim. Winning is our tradition.

4. Hokie Football: 66,233 Teammates Strong

5. Victory comes standard with the Tech package.

6. Defining Home Field Advantage since 1872

7. Start Jumping, Respect the Game, Remember the Moment

8. All Out, All Game, All Season

9. A Lunch Pail Threat You'll Never Forget

10. Tech Package: Standard
      Safety Restraint: Optional


These are the top ten - take it or leave it.
If you have more suggestions for slogans or for myself, submit your comments and ideas at www.hokieeffect.com

Let me know your thoughts, they would be greatly appreciated!

finals finale

Finals week: the worst time for a college student.

Oddly, I have not been feeling a lot of stress lately. Maybe it is because most of my grades are set and there isn't really anything I can do to change them. Or maybe it is because all I have wanted to do is spend time with my roommates/friends/watch old episodes of the OC and Laguna Beach? Maybe.

Williamsburg is just around the corner, and as unexciting as that little town can be, I cannot wait to be back for a while.

I wanted to share something with all of you from a blog I avidly follow:

"That life isn't about our understanding of it. Life is about enjoying what you've been bestowed and looking forward to going Home. And meanwhile, he gives us gifts--people, relationships, situations--bad, good, stupid.... We aren't supposed to understand them, but we are supposed to love them. And we don't have to work so hard."

That is from: The Bakery blog

Food for thought. Good luck on finals and have safe travels everyone!


Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas.

busy bee

Hi, my name is Kelsey Heiter and I have been a busy bee lately. I apologize for being MIA to anyone, but finals time is slowly but surely approaching and everyone has a ton on their plate this year. Here is what is going on in mine:

SGA: Hokie Effect is starting off on an amazing foot this year. I am very impressed with SGA and everyone that has helped already with making it a success - thank you. The long-awaited Spirit Bus is a success, and slogan contest is going well - can't wait to see the final results.

Collegiate Times: I am working to re-vamp my training director position for next semester, which I am very, very excited about. The rest of the semester will be spent finishing up some training and de-briefing with new CT-ers. The CT is my little family and I am very thankful for each and every one of them.

Kappa: My ladies. I love you all and this semester has been amazing, I cannot wait for January for all day 'errday with you all.


That is all I have for now. OH - and it's snowing in lovely, cold Blacksburg, for those of you who are not here.
