AL.com reports that a member of Chi O's executive board encouraged sorority members to vote for two UA alums running in separate races, and promised free drinks at local bars and hummer limo rides to the polls. From AL.com, the email to the sorority reads:

Sorority members were enticed with five "incentives," including "points" in both a UA Panhellenic and internal house ranking system, as well as limo rides and drinks at two bars that were being rented out.

Both Cason Kirby and Lee Garrison won their races with a slim margin, so it seems like their appeal to the sorority helped put them in office.
