Greek Sing

[axiduckie]

Sorry. If you're not familiar, Greek Sing is usually a part of Greek Week*(see below if you're not familiar with that) where fraternities and sororities get together, rewrite lyrics to songs to make them relate to the fraternity/sorority.
Usually they're funny and fun to watch. At my school, we all perform on the same night and watch each other, then we're judged and they declare a winner for boys and then girls.

*Greek week is a week of competition between Greeks. There are fun contests like pudding eating, tugawar, human pyramids, etc. Each event is worth a certain number of points, and the fraternity and sorority with the most points by the end of the week wins. Greek sing is usually a big part of it.

My university JUST had our Greek Sing competition (like...two days ago). This year, our chapter chose to go with a "British Invasion" theme. We put together a medley of songs by British perfomers--Austin Powers theme, Spice Up Your Life (Spice Girls), I Fought the Law (The Clash), Hard Day's Night (Beatles), Wannabe (Spice Girls), and Twist and Shout (Beatles). Five of our sisters dressed up as the Spice Girls. We had a pretty intense dance routine that went with it. Now, we didn't win (we came in last in the sororities), but that was only because the judges couldn't hear us very well (at least, that's what they've told us).

ours was an Arabian Nights theme and it was AWSOME. other themes were "girls just want to have fun," "Space Jam/Aliens," "Runway/Fashion," and i can't think of the others. last year we had a jungle theme, the year before it was a jailhouse/ bad girls theme, and the year before that it was a candyshop theme. super cute.

My alma mater does it a little differently:

Greek Sing
Greek Sing is an annual event in which the fraternity and sorority community at Carnegie Mellon participate. The event is sponsored by Greek Council and is the Greek community's largest annual philanthropy event. In Greek Sing, fraternity and sorority chapters perform collections of songs or excerpts from a musical or an original script. The event is held at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in Oakland, and all proceeds are donated to a charity, which is selected each year by members of the Greek community.
This year Greek Sing was held on March 24, 2007.
