Campus Sing!

Last night one of our sororities, Chi Omega, put on their annual canned food drive competition called "Campus Sing." It's a night where all of the Greek organizations and the independent students get the opportunity to show off their... er singing skills, well some people sing, or attempt to, but it's mostly turned into a dance contest. I have to say this is probably ranked highest among all of the events on campus because everyone get involved, and the end result usually is a lot of laughing and merriment. Every year there's a theme, last year it was "The 90's" and this year it was "The Evolution of the Artist" so this year every group got to chose an artist and show their evolution through song and dance, the girls all chose performers: Beyonce, Brittany Spears, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Will Smith; but the some of the boys went with a more unconventional artist like Picasso and Salvador Dali, but there was also The Temptations and Garth Brooks. I unfortunately didn't get to dance because all of the rehearsals were at the same time as Kimberly Akimbo rehearsals (which is now done! Thank goodness.) But I did get to watch which is always fun.

The most important object of the night though was to collect as many cans as possible for God's Pantry, a food pantry that serves people throughout Fayette County, and Transy donated enough cans to run 6 of their pantries for a week, over 15,000 pounds of food! And not to brag or anything, but my sorority donated the most cans, over 3,000 cans of food! It's a really cool event, and one of my favorites at Transy. :)

That's all I have for now, but I'll leave you with this video of last year's performance by the brothers of Delta Sigma Phi, def my favorite in the two years I've seen it. Have fun!
