The night wasn’t just about competition though, the sororities and fraternities had a greater cause. All the proceeds from this event went to benefit Johnny Jones, a 1980 UTM graduate and former editor of The Fulton Leader. Jones suffered a brain aneurysm in the fall of 2004, which required intensive therapy sessions to help him function at a normal level. Jones is doing well in his recovery, and he and his family were present at All-Sing to accept a $3,000 check that will help him receive six more months of the therapy he needs.

Chi Omega took first in the sorority division, while Sigma Phi Epsilon took first in the fraternity division and won “judges’ favorite,” which has traditionally been called “best of show.”

All-Sing started out as Zeta Tau Alpha, wearing turquoise empire waist 50s style dresses, took the audience on a journey of heartbreak to love.

Then Alpha Delta Pi, wore red shirts with the All-Sing theme, really brought energy to the stage with hits such as “I Say a Little Prayer for You” and “I Will Survive.”

Sigma Phi Epsilon really took the audience back with songs from artists such as the Temptations and Stevie Wonder.
Alpha Omicron Pi members with their glamorous, royal purple sequin tops and Chi Omega concluded the event with two show stopping performances.

Each fraternity and sorority sang six or more Motown hits.
Chi Omega won first place in the sorority division with Motown hits such as “Reach Out, I’ll Be There” and “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher.”

Alpha Omicron Pi won second place in the sorority division with chart-toppers such as “Just My Imagination” and “Midnight Train to Georgia.”
