Updates

Happy Tuesday, Hokies -

Just an update on where voting stands right now:

-We have approximately 415 votes so far, which is amazing for only three days of the survey being open, and the only marketing to have been over Twitter and Facebook. Thank you to everyone who has spread the word about voting! Please make sure everyone who has a valid Virginia Tech PID and password knows so they have a chance to cast their vote at www.hokieeffect.com

-We are still trying to figure out rights on "Enter Sandman, Exit Victorious." It's been a tough road so far, and unfortunately, is not getting any easier. I can tell you that there are two slogans that voters clearly love, as they have gained an overwhelming majority of the vote, and we are very happy about that.

-Keep telling EVERY Hokies you to know to vote at www.hokieeffect.com or email us at vthokieeffect@gmail.com with their votes from the slogans listed in previous posts.


Thanks for sticking with us Hokies. We are keeping voting open until January 24, and after that we will let you know the two winning slogans!

Ut Prosim,
Your 2011 Hokie Effect Team
