Center stage. The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and Delta Delta Delta sorority perform at the final practice for Songfest. The competition will take place at 7 p.m. tonight at Bovard Auditorium. Of the 1,200 tickets available for purchase, only 200 are still for sale, according to Songfest committee members.
Step right up, step right up! Feast your eyes on the largest philanthropy on USC's campus. Witness
Alpha Phi and Zeta Beta Tau, the defending Songfest champions, compete against 15 other campus organizations that have been preparing for this event since the beginning of the semester.
Spectators will also get to see a number acts perform at Songfest that aren't competing for the No. 1 spot this year, including an a capella from USC's Reverse Osmosis and a dance routine from the USC Song Girls. Children from Troy Camp will also be at the show to do a shirt skit as well.
A silent auction is to be held before the show starts, with items such as Los Angeles Lakers tickets to any regular season game next year, an autographed football and jersey by Heisman Trophy-winner Matt Leinart or a six-month membership to Gold's Gym up for grabs.
All proceeds from Songfest will go toward Troy Camp, a big brother/sister support group that act as mentors for children in South Los Angeles.
