How to win Best Delegate at ChoMUN (I)

The purpose of this post is to keep our more competitive delegates informed on current 'Best Delegate' trends. In years past, the means of winning best delegate were relatively commonplace. Usually, they involved being tall and arrogant or small and screechy. Sometimes we actually awarded 'Best Delegate' to witches. REAL WITCHES WITH HATS. U. Chicago's most legendary Best Delegate thought he was God's gift to Pakistan, the US, high society, and cigarette vendors great and small. I often thanked my small papier mache cow for his presence in my life. THANK YOU ALMIGHTY HEIFER. Alas, the days of the winning arrogance are over.

New trends are beginning to overtake ChoMUN.

First of all, you gotta WANT that gavel. Like, more than you want a job at Goldman Sachs, more than you want to go to Harvard Law, more than you want a burrito from Chipotle..... yes, even the one with extra sour cream. If the chair can see in your eyes that you really want it, that will work to your advantage. Some of the ways to convey wanting with your eyes include batting your eye lashes, or blinking erratically. When you start blinking erratically, you will be well on your way to getting the gavel.

Next, you have to do a good deed. We here at the University of Chicago believe in kindness. More than lessons on Aristotle and Econometrics, kindness has been the key component of our undergraduate education. What constitutes a good deed? Well, if the Chief of Staff looks like she might be thirsty, you could grab her a fruit punch. If she accidentally throws the fruit punch on someone's white suit, you could get that someone a napkin. (Disclaimer: This is a hypothetical situation. The Chief of Staff is not actually a fruit punch thrower, nor does she much enjoy fruit punch. If she asks you for a drink, you should bring whiskey. Single Malt. Thank you.)

These are only a few of the new Best Delegate trends on the MUN circuit. We here at ChoMUN XI are dedicated to keeping you En Vogue. Please stay tuned for more ways to win best delegate at ChoMUN.
