Students bustled about Hoke Auditorium as they grabbed coffee, tea, and other snacks in preparation for Columbia International University鈥檚 first Shofar Cup event, the Coffee House.

Residents of the 自慰视频 Houses, Sapientia, Aequitas, Justitia, Virtus, Veritas, Fidelitas and Dignitas, competed for house points by submitting poetry, artwork, and stories to be judged by a panel. The main event consisted of poets reading their work to the admiration of their peers.

Aynsley Vivian, a freshman representing Fidelitas, won the poetry category with 鈥淭he Better Adam,鈥 illustrating the meaning behind the crucifixion of Christ.

鈥淭here were a lot of great speakers for poetry,鈥 said Luke Holder, a Youth Ministry major, 鈥淚t was deep. It made me tear up a couple of times.鈥

The next day, students flocked to the Moore Fitness Center gym wearing face paint and 自慰视频 House t-shirts. Banners waved from the stands as students cheered and chanted, stomping their feet on the bleachers. It was dodgeball night. The teams consisted of brother and sister houses teaming up against the others. At the end of the night, Justitia and Dignitas came out triumphant over the rest of the Houses.

The third Shofar Cup event was House Feud. This year was the first time the event was played, and a big crowd听was drawn into the Shortess Chapel to see what it was about.听

The game was styled based on the TV gameshow Family Feud. Each house sent five players on the stage and two houses听would try and give the best answers to听the questions.听Questions such as, 鈥淲hat鈥檚 something you should never forget to pack?鈥 and 鈥淣ame something you find on a person鈥檚 arm,鈥 were asked.听

Zay Hinton was a part of house Aequitas, a new house this year. He听definitely felt听the pressure on the听stage but听was able to have fun.听听

鈥淲hen I saw my housemates and how they were laughing I just felt relaxed and was like, 鈥榳e got this,鈥欌澨齢e said.听

Unfortunately for Hinton, Aequitas lost in a very close round of Fast Money听to Veritas.听

鈥淥verall,听I think we did awesome,听and we built great community between us all,鈥 Hinton said.听

Veritas went on to be the winner of听House Feud.听

The final day of Shofar was the cook-off. However, outside the dining hall, more than just cooking was taking place. There were many fun challenges such as races听and听games听spread across the yard.听

Inside was听where听the cooking went down,听and the cooks of the houses wanted to leave an impression on the judges who were picked by the Residence Life Team.听

Walker won the cook-off with a delicious meal that included:听

Appetizer: Spinach Dip

Main Dish: Chicken and Shrimp

Dessert: Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownie听

The Shofar Cup is a part of听The听House Collective听that includes year-round social events, service projects, small groups and house competitions where house members compete to win points to earn the title of House Victors.
