For 65 years, people inside and outside the greek community have come to watch Lip Sync, a part of Greek Week. Friday night, Lip Sync saw the bottom floor of Stephens Auditorium nearly full as more trickled into the balcony.

Lip Sync requires pairings to lip sync to a skit composed of different songs and a plot. This year, the theme they had to incorporate was “Cardinal, Gold and Greek.” 

For Alyson Logel, treasurer of Pi Beta Chi, loves the morale of coming together as a chapter and community, but also as a pairing. Pi Beta Chi was paired with Chi Omega and Sigma Pi.

Logel said that Lip Sync is her favorite part of Greek Week because of how funny the skits are and the songs that each pairing uses.

“Last year I didn’t get to participate, but I went to watch and it was super fun,” she said. “I didn’t think I would enjoy it and I only went to support my sisters, but I really did enjoy it.”

Each team also had to incorporate a given noise into their skit: the SpongeBob Squarepants narrator saying ‘two hours later.’

This year, a new award was also incorporated, titled the “People’s Choice Award.” Attendees were able to vote on the skit they thought was the best by paying a dollar. All proceeds went to the Special Olympics.

Other awards include: Best Plot, Best Costumes, Best Main Character, Best Supporting Cast, Best Choreography, Best Set, Best Supporting Character and Athlete’s Choice.

A few competitors from the Special Olympics also performed for the audience, featuring a jail scene in which the prisoners get out and begin dancing and intimidating the guard.

Some awards were also given out, such as the Golden Hanger award. This award goes to the pairing with the best apparel, despite having no point value. Greekelodeon won this award. 

Ash Branch won both the Team Flag award and first place for Show Me the Greeks, a fashion show where a single team member shows their knowledge of greek life as well as their personality.

Greek Busters and DAAKstreet Boyz tied for second place for Show Me the Greeks.

Finalists for Karaoke performed in between Lip Sync skits as well, each with a team of six people. Finalists can be seen below.

Awards for Lip Sync and Karaoke, as well as many others, will be awarded at 6 p.m. Sunday at VESPERS.
