Greek Sing!

I am a sister of Alpha Delta Pi here at Penn State, and this past weekend we participated in the Greek Sing Competition.  This competition raises money for the Gayle Beyers Scholarship Fund, which awards scholarships to Greek individuals who are examples of dedication, bravery, and commitment and are chosen based on involvement and financial need.  We raise the money by having spirit events at local businesses.  For example, one night there was an event at Insomnia Cookies- each member of your team that went to the event and bought cookies was awarded points, and the proceeds went towards the scholarship fund.  Because Penn State Greek Life is SO HUGE, each sorority is paired with two fraternities, who then pick a musical together and perform a few songs with some dialogue.  The winners are picked based off of spirit points, dances, singing, energy, and overall performance.  My sorority was paired with Pi Lambda Phi and Alpha Gamma Rho.  We performed Footloose, a play about a young man named Ren from Chicago who is forced to move to a small puritan town where dancing and rock ’n’ roll are forbidden.  He cleverly convinces Reverend Moore to let the town’s high school have a dance, and simultaneously falls in love with the Reverend’s daughter, Ariel.  Some other performances of the afternoon were from the Lion King, Peter Pan, and Hercules.  Our girls and guys gave a great performance that awarded us Second Place Overall in Greek Sing! We could not have been more proud, it was a very exciting day! I recommend everyone go to this performance next year!
