The first-place entry was created by Gamma Phi Beta sorority, Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and Farmhouse. Sigma Kappa sorority and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity finished in second place, and Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, and Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity received third-place honors.
