Another successful Greek Sing has passed, and with that comes new ambition for next year. This event sponsored by Chi-Omega raised more than $33,000 for the Make-A-Wish foundation. With nearly 100 percent greek participation, success was again marked in the books.

Greek Sing was hosted by Alan DeSantis, a communication professor at UK, who has been voted as UK’s favorite professor several times. He provided entertainment for the more than three-hour event between fraternity and sorority acts.

This year greeks have raised the bar yet again for future Greek Sings. With Delta Sigma Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, winning fraternity and sorority overall and Pi Beta Phi winning overall, these groups showed what their dedication and weeks of practice were for. It was a great chance for greeks to show who they were to the entire community. These organizations showed they were out to prove their worth.

Emily Pfiefer, a Chi-Omega, said “It is a great event that brings the greek community together for a great cause.” However, Greek Sing is not only for the greek community. It involves all of the University of Kentucky, along with the Lexington community. It brings parents and alumni back to Lexington to see their family or friends perform their act on stage.

Matt Bohannon, a Delta Sigma Phi, said it was a “relief to have our name called out,” as a winner. We spent four weeks of hard practices and dedicated a lot of time to Greek Sing. Delta Sigma Phi narrowly missed winning last year, and Matt said, this year he was “happy to come out and take home the trophy.”
