What do you get when you combine 14 Greek organizations, Stepping in Unity and a packed house of screaming and singing students in Jarman Auditorium? You've got the annual Lip Sync show, a favorite tradition at Longwood. The pledge classes of the various sororities and fraternities compete in a crazy and hilarious show for best overall performances and appearances. The classes make their own dance routines to various mixes of music, which are kept completely secret from their organizations until the classes are on stage performing in front of everyone.

The judging panel consisted of Assistant Professor of Sociology Jake Milne, Senior Computer Systems Engineer Greg Tsigaridas, Lecturer in Communication Studies Naomi Johnson-Tsigaridas and Associate Professor of Exercise Science Cathy Roy, along with student senior Courtney Lanier. The judges rated each performance in four categories: appearance, actual performance, Panhellenic spirit and overall thought.

All of the performances were hilarious and
well-received by the audience. Alpha Delta Pi was up first with their "Nine Oh So Fine" girls. Kappa Delta had the "Girls in Diamonds and Pearls" of fall 2008. Then Theta Chi put on a fantastic, funny show with their five pledges.

Zeta Tau Alpha was up next with a peace and love theme. Then, Delta Zeta's theme was "Riding with the DZs." Sigma Nu followed and their seven pledges did not disappoint. Sigma Kappa put on a show with "Sigma Kay's Anatomy" starring their 10 fall 2008 pledges.

After Sigma Kappa, the 12 very talented ladies representing Stepping in Unity took the stage and put on a fantastic performance that received high praise from the audience.

Alpha Gamma Delta's theme was "Glamorous," just like their pledges. Phi Kappa Tau was up next, and the stunt work their two pledges performed amazed the crowd.
Sigma Sigma Sigma caused a "Sigmalution" presented by the "heart stopping, jaw droppin', thrillin' 13," the biggest pledge class of any Greek organization this semester. Alpha Sigma Phi got the crowd rocking with the antics of their four fabulous pledges.
