AOPi and KA take home first in this year’s Lip Sync with help from Elvis


Alpha Omicron Pi and Kappa Alpha Order took home first place and Best of Show at SAC’s Lip Sync Tuesday night.

This year’s theme, Favorite Artists, introduced a variety of artists, performances, and an Elvis Presley impersonator as a host. “There was a good turn out, and all the performances were very entertaining”, said Lucas DuRall, a senior Public Relations major from Union City.

Alpha Omicron Pi’s winning performance followed Michael Jackson’s greatest hits from “ABC 123”, when he was with the Jackson Five to “Thriller” and “Bad” from his solo days. Kappa Alpha had the audience laughing with their tribute to “Wayne’s World” and songs form Queen.

Chi Omega, second place winner in the sorority division, performed hits by Britney Spears while jokingly making fun of her throughout their performance. Alpha Tau Omega, second place winner in the fraternity division, re-enacted scenes from the Lion King while preforming to Elton John hits.

Throughout Alpha Gamma Rho’s performance to Ray Stevens, someone portraying a streaker ran all over the stage and through the audience wearing only what looked to be nude tights. To end their performance, three Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers dropped their pants to reveal their letters written on the back of the boxers.

Other contestants included Zeta Tau Alpha performing hits by Diana Ross, Alpha Delta Pi performing hits by Garth Brooks, Gamma Kappa Pi performing hits by the Beach Boys, and Sigma Phi Epsilon performing hits by Outkast.

David Crews, the Elvis impersonator from Memphis, entertained the crowd in between the contestants performance. He threw teddy bears and flowers to the audience while singing and dancing to hits by Elvis. “It was good to have a different host. It really added to the theme and made the night more fun”, said Lindsay Griffith a junior Fashion Merchandising major from Memphis.
