Three of the four winners of the SGA elections were sworn into office last night at an inauguration banquet at the Inn at Virginia Tech.
The fourth winner, Meredyth Kenney, a junior English major, was elected the position of secretary, but did not accept her position.
She had previously told the Collegiate Times that she would give up her spot if her entire ticket that she had been running with, 'The Total Package,' was not elected.
"I wasn't a hypocrite," Kenney said. "I stuck to my word."
She did not comment any further because she said she didn't want to stimulate negative publicity.
President Emily Mashack, Vice President Rianka Urbina, and Treasurer Kendall LaRue were inaugurated, though Urbina and LaRue had also run with 'The Total Package.'
Mashack had run on the 'YourSGA' ticket.
She did not return phone calls made by the Collegiate Times.

What a complete, and total moron. I'd rather see a hypocrite than a childish, immature 6 year old. Wait until this girl gets into the working world.

The other secretary turned it down too. meaning the one the actually ran with mashack. what does that say about our new president? she is so terrible that the very candidates she ran with decided they can't work with her either.

A silly sorority girl snub. Get used to it Meredyth -- the working world forces you to engage with people who aren't your friends.

And if she hadn't resigned, you all would have been posting on here about what a hypocrite she was. It was a boneheaded comment on her part in the first place - but give her some credit for sticking to her story. It's better than most politicians in Washington (on both sides of the aisle) do.

Considering all of the controversy continuing on with the elections, it's hard to blame anyone for not wanting to have ties with the SGA at the moment. The current SGA is leaving quite a mess for whoever comes in.

Your right Kyle she is honest and if she kept the position I would have railed her for being a hypocrite. However the statement she made really put her in a darned if you do, darned if you don't position.

Anyone who would have branded her a hypocrite is missing the point. What if she chose to stay because she thought better of her previous comments? Remember when people were lambasting Dick Cheney for saying years ago that we should not intervene in the Middle East, then deciding during his vice presidency that it is a prudent thing to do? The concept here is no different. Situations change, as do perspectives. If she became convinced that her previous comment was misguided, I would be the first to applaud her apparent intellectual growth and maturity, not the first to condemn her as a hypocrite. I was a strong critic of her initial statements, but I was hoping that she would accept the position. It would have demonstrated to me that she had recognized the absurdity of her prior intentions.
