All-University Sing has been producing Broadway-style entertainment since 1953 — but until 1997, when Sing Alliance was formed, the organizations taking the stage were historically all involved with Greek Life.
While All-University Sing takes place on just two weekends in February, preparation of the seven-minute musical dance numbers begins almost a year beforehand. Few are familiar with the full timeline behind and process of creating a Sing act.
Each year, Baylor veteran students receive help during their transition from the military to college life through the Veterans Education and Transitional Services program.
Student Productions and performers agree Baylor needs more non-Greek representation in All-University Sing. Although participation from other organizations is highly encouraged, these groups should understand that a 2025 Sing act is more than a sign-up sheet away.

The Iran war is now in its 46th day. Iran responded by restricting access to Hormuz, which carries about a fifth of the world’s seaborne oil, and moving to toll vessels transiting the strait. Waco drivers are already feeling it. The local average hit $3.38 a gallon last week, up 21 cents in seven days and 75 cents year-over-year, according to AAA data.
Gas prices in Texas have surged more than 70 cents per gallon since the U.S. went to war with Iran three weeks ago. The near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has driven oil prices up more than 40%, pushing the national average to its highest point since 2023 and sending diesel past $5 for the first time in three years.
