2:50 p.m., Aug. 31, 2011--Even Hurricane Irene could not dampen spirits for the Blue Hen Friends contest on the University of Delaware Facebook page.  At noon on Saturday, Aug. 27, the official contest end time, not one but two photos of Blue Hens each had 200 votes -- or Facebook “likes.”

The student winners have met nearly every student in this Class of 2015 and are this year’s New Student Orientation (NSO) leaders. The friends include Jon Smith, Gregory Dinerman, Jonathan Campeón, Harris, Nick Campagnola, Ian Guthoff, Maria Arbizo, Rachel Kushner, Kate Chiseri, Matt Maloney, Walter Pendleton, Natalie Goldstein, Jordyn Lee, Kevin Colodner, Katie Liberopoulous, Andrea Birch, Christopher McElwee and Alexis Maria.
