Did I hear an O 67 or O 69?
These fan-favorite numbers got to be screamed once more on Centenary University’s campus on September 8 in the Lackland Cafeteria, starting at 8:30 p.m. This game of bingo was hosted by Jamie Weingarten and Student Activities.

“I was so excited to come out to such a fun event and represent my sorority, Delta Xi Nu Multicultural Sorority, Inc.,” said Amanda Lorenzo, senior criminal justice major. “Winning that Applebee’s gift card was by far the best!”
Even those who didn’t win still had a great time!
“I thought bingo was fun,” said Emma Cornell, senior animal health major. “It was nice to see all of those people show up, even the new faces.”
The students were not the only ones who enjoyed this bingo night.
“We had a lot of students ready to compete, and we enjoyed watching them laugh and socialize with each other,” said Nick Storms, senior communication major and member of Student Activities. “Working as a student activity member, it’s our job to create a positive, inclusive environment and create experiences for the new upcoming freshmen or transfers.”
“Bingo was a great night,” said Weingarten. “I was expecting a good turnout, as bingo usually comes with that, but was happy to see the turnout better than expected. This school year has a good feeling to it, and I am excited for what the rest of the year has to offer with events and involvement!”
