The sisters of Chi Omega perform skits from "Willy Wonka" at this year's Lip Sync.

The theme for this year's Lip Sync event during Greek Fest was "Soundtracks." The event was held last Thursday in Skyhawk Field House.

Masters of ceremonies were Zeta Tau Alpha member Rachel Moore and Sigma Alpha Epsilon member Ryan McCormick.

The brothers of SAE walked away with a first place trophy and a Best of Show trophy, after a show-stealing performance, which had a theme of "Movie Soundtracks." They did a Top 10 countdown of movie soundtracks, with No. 10 being "What is Love" from the movie "A Night at the Roxbury," to No. 1 as "Shout" from the movie "Animal House." They also included soundtracks from the movies "Grease," "Footloose," "The Little Mermaid," and "The Bodyguard."

Coming in second in the fraternity division was Sigma Chi. They did a variety of soundtracks from movies and television shows, like "Old Time Rock-N-Roll," from "Risky Business" and the theme song from "Friends," "I'll be There For You." They ended their performance with a "Shrek" melody.

The sisters of Alpha Omicron Pi won first place and Best of Show. They danced to songs from the "Austin Powers" movies, such as "Secret Agent Man," "These Boots are Made For Walking," and "Just the Two of Us." They had a wonderful remake of the "Austin" and "Mini Me" characters. They ended the show with signs that said things like "donate, recycle, support, give" and then "AOII supports Hunters for the Hungry."

Second in the sorority division was Chi Omega. They also stuck to soundtracks from one movie, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." They had a backdrop of the chocolate fountain and Oompa Loompas running around stage. Every child from the film was represented and they had a character version of the old Willy Wonka and a new Johnny Depp version. They ended their show with a sign that said "Chi Omega supports Hunters for the Hungry."

"When I think about Lip Sync the quote 'Half the fun is getting there' comes to mind. Lip Sync is just an all-around good time for greek organizations to come together and have fun. Even though we didn't walk away with a trophy, we still walk away with priceless memories with our sisters that will never be forgotten," said Alpha Delta Pi member Jana Ogg.

The sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha were set and ready to participate in this event, until moments before the show when their backdrop broke. They did not have time to fix it, so they withdrew from the event.

Lip Sync was a great event that raised money for a great cause, along with all the other Greek Week events. The members of all the greek organizations that participated gave a great show. Their efforts do not go unnoticed; they put time and effort into helping a great cause.
