Chi Omega senior Bonnie Thomas, from Phoenix, is majoring in journalism and sociology.
She found out she made the top 10 when the Steering Committee came knocking on her door at 5 a.m.
“I was shocked, honored and so excited for the journey ahead,” Thomas said.
Thomas said the best part about making the top 10 was being able to call her parents and tell them to fly out to Missouri from Arizona for Homecoming.
“Having my entire family here for a weekend is a rare and special occasion,” Thomas said.
She said out of all of Homecoming’s activities, the talent competition is her favorite.
“I love singing, acting and dancing,” Thomas said. “Watching everyone perform is so entertaining and exciting.”
Thomas is representing sorority Chi Omega.
“Greek Life at Mizzou has given me endless opportunities and guidance on and off campus,” Thomas said.
Thomas is also involved in the Radio Television News Directors Association and is a KOMU/Channel 8 anchor.
After graduation, Thomas will apply for local newsroom jobs across the country and see where she lands.
