How about no?
Its obvious Penn State's Mikey Tubes won this contest. The girl came outta no where to beat everyone? Sounds a lil far fetched to me. Mike 1st, Chase 2nd...I have no problem with that...

I have no problem with holding to the poll results and giving C-Wolf the prize. Unless significant evidence can be brought forth that damages a substantial number of votes, she won by a large margin.
Since HerCampus forced our community to take part in this competition, Wellesley decided to rock the vote. We had an enormous online rally, mass emails, and considerable facebook pubbing. Our campus may be small, but we have spirit.
A side note: Through this entire ordeal, our community has been mistreated by the HerCampus founders and assaulted by the HerCampus online community (calling us feminist lesbians? hating on us for joining a bio-boy competition?). We tried to get out of this competition multiple times but HerCampus went against the explicit desires of the Wellesley community and forced us to take part in this inane contest. If you're angry at C-Wolf for joining this, please take it up with HerCampus because they refused to allow us to drop out.
Frankly, I'm disappointed that a site who markets itself as "HerCampus" is so reluctant to applaud the activism that allowed a small college to beat out numerous large universities. Granted, this marginal issue was of minimal commitment- but translated to a larger scale, it really affirms the social activism that structures our entire campus. From Haiti fund-raising to multicultural awareness to silly HerCampus polls, our college demonstrates how motivated women can make a difference (however large, small, superficial, or meaningful that difference may be). HerCampus should applaud this demonstration- not shame us and implicitly encourage this misogynistic harassment.
The "Her Campus Online Community" includes people like me, who did not throw around rude terms like "feminist lesbians" or verbally harass the Wellesley contender, so I would appreciate you not denouncing this entire online forum.
Additionally, yours is one of many campuses that fundraised for Haiti and promotes cultural awareness, so please step off your high horse for a minute.
Please do not attack one of Wellesley's students for citing examples on how we as a college community rallied together to achieve a greater goal. Many colleges did the same, but Wellesley's population is small in comparison to other top-level universities, so our actions are truly rooted in teamwork and sisterhood.
That being said, many people who have been writing on this forum have denounced us as "feminist lesbians" - not only is this gross misogyny, but many students here probably would not see that as an insult! No one is accusing you personally of verbally attacking the Wellesley community; please do not jump to conclusions.
I do wish to point out, since we are discussing sexist slurs, that the suffix "-ette" (as in "collegiette") is a demeaning term coined during the Suffrage Movement to degrade the women spearheading the protest as people who were still "less than" the men in charge of the country. But this is a magazine, not a history textbook.
As for this online forum, I think some of my blunt previous posts have expressed my opinion, so I do not wish to reiterate what I have written. I do, however, want to congratulate C-Wolf for her victory and assure the general public that the Wellesley student body came together to secure her victory. Since we were not allowed to drop out of this contest, our participant was a genderqueer student. I find it unsettling how an online forum dedicated to a "collegiette" student will not accept a biologically female student who identifies as male as its contest winner, and I question the credibility of these whisperings of less-than-honorable voting tactics. Founders, I ask you: is it absolutely devastating to you to not have something go exactly how you planned? The winner may not be the genotypical XY person you were hoping it would be, but the fact of the matter is a male-identifying college student won the contest.
This is a very small point but I believe the use of "collegiette" is simply meant to be a play on the word "collegiate." I know gender politics are inherently present in the "ette" suffix, but I think in this case it's just wordplay and shouldn't be taken so seriously.
Other than that, I do generally agree with your sentiments and I appreciate that you defend them in a calm, mature fashion. Just felt that that aspect of your criticism of HerCampus did deserve a rebuttal.
Props to this entire comment.
So, you realize the poll is still online, right? When you create a poll at pollcode.com, it not only gives you code to embed in your own site, but it also creates a direct link to the poll on their own site. The poll isn't closed until you go to your pollcode account and click on the "pause voting" button for this poll.
Also, if you think people are cheating because you have more votes than hits to your page, it's probably because people were using the direct pollcode link, not because of some nefarious poll hacking scheme.
