And the award for worst chapel goes to...

...the SGA awards chapel. SGA stands for Student Government Association but perhaps a better name would be the Spiritualy God Awful. Most people are smart enough to avoid the awards chapel. I, however, was unaware that the chapel i was attending was the awards chapel and paid dearly for my mistake

You know its bad when you need a 7 minute disclaimer on everything else you plan on doing for the rest of chapel. You know its really bad when its Kate Hamilton doing the disclaiming (a bad idea in itself) To summarize the disclaimer, they're giving out awards but dont know what the qualifications they're looking for are, they just know that people have done things that sound like they fit with the title of the award.

What's worse is that they take from an extremely small minority to offer the award. Blind choosing would yeild better results. For example, for being the best communicator, the Commissioner of Communications was chosen. whoa, way to go out of the box, but the only reason she fits the bill is because of her title. (nothing against her, but there are plenty of better communicators out there, they just dont have a fancy title)

If you really want to hand out awards, give it to the most qualified person, taking many more people into account and no, title isn't a qualification. Neither is Kate Hamilton.

Agreed, although not the way to make friends. However, had I cared enough to voice my opinion, and had my opinion be taken into that very small minority, for this post alone I would have nominated you for the best communicator award. Then you could have had a title and be considered qualified, too.
