The Activities Programming Board hosted a “Family Feud” event on Friday, Jan. 21, in the Ceddia Union Building. The event began at 9 p.m.; however, the APB event staff spent far more time beforehand preparing the event.

Event staff arrive at events about an hour and a half before the event’s start time, according to Tyler Leisher, an APB board member. Kasiem Pope, a fellow APB board member, was the leader of the “Family Feud.” Two weeks before, Pope learned that he would lead the event. He was set on having an in-person event with as much student interaction as possible.

“It’s really fun to be the event lead, but it’s more pressure on you,” Pope said. “I was thinking about this event last semester because people love to play “Family Feud,” and we really wanted to do it in person with someone hosting the event.”

The original plan for the game was to ask the “Feud questions” to random students on SU’s campus. However, Pope realized, “if [students] came to the event they would know the answers, so we just pulled our questions from Google.”

“We’ve done the event before and people loved it, so we wanted to do the event again,” said Brittney Horton, APB board member.

Student turnout was higher than expected, and the event even brought out new students who had never been to an APB event before.

Clarence Johnson, APB president, explained that the board hosts a multitude of events that cater to student interests.

“Family Feud is a very friendly event, and it brings out a lot of competition. It’s one of our newer events, but we are planning on making it a tradition,” Johnson said.
