Whether you’re drawn to the fun of the fraternity floats, the intensity of the bonfire, the stakes of the football game, or the high-energy Pigskin Revue, your favorite Baylor Homecoming tradition might just reveal a lot about you.
Today is the day when some of the best acts from February’s All-University Sing will return to Waco Hall for the annual Pigskin Revue. Tonight at 7 p.m. — opening night — Kappa Omega Tau, Chi Omega, Phi Kappa Chi, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sing Alliance will take to the stage.
Similarly, Houston sophomore Annabeth Slagle who plays a flapper said she ends up going to Pigskin practice for multiple hours a day, Sunday through Wednesday. Even though she has ample prior experience in studio dance, Slagle said performing in Sing and Pigskin is much more challenging than expected.
With all eyes on them after their first place win this past Sing season, Kappa Omega Tau prepares not only to defend their title, but to have fun while doing it.
“Our chapter motto is brotherhood above all,” Meck said. “Our purpose is putting together something that we’re proud of and to have fun with. And we hope that the audience will have fun with us and be entertained by what we put together.”
The best college memories are made outside of the lecture halls. Waco and Baylor provide so many fun to-dos that you need to add to your college bucket list during your four years.
It’s a privilege to be in Greek Life, and I know not everyone has the luxury of spending thousands of dollars on top of their tuition. By the grace of God (and my mother), I’ve had the opportunity to join a sorority with the most amazing group of women.
The show itself is only the tip of the iceberg. What it took to get to the top of that mountain is the real story — and the one that nobody sees. If you do it right, your soul is connected to your act in the end, and it should be.
All-University Sing is a special tradition for Baylor. Many other schools host similar events, but nothing quite as extraordinary, which is why it is Baylor’s best event.
While it can be entertaining to point out flaws and have a giggle at some of the funnier moments of Sing, it’s important to try to put yourself in the shoes of a performer before you post something degrading about their act.
All-University Sing, one of Baylor’s most beloved traditions, is not just for fun. It’s also a competition. With only eight acts advancing to Pigskin Revue in the fall, competition can be fierce, especially in years like this one, with 20 Broadway-style performances from different organizations. There are various categories that factor into the judges’ scoresheets, but here are six elements that can make or break any Sing act.
From Pi Beta Phi Sing chair to Kappa Omega Tau sweetheart, Richland Hills senior Meredith Henry has no doubt left her mark on Sing — not to mention Baylor Greek Life as a whole.
If you’re a part of the 45% of students in the College of Arts and Sciences, you’re all too familiar with credits for CAEs — Creative Arts Experiences. They’re intended to help students become engaged in art, music, theater, film and literature on campus. For some reason, All-University Sing and Pigskin Revue don’t fall under this category, even though there are hundreds of participants every year — from Sing chairs and stagehands to sororities and fraternities.
Homecoming is a special tradition for Baylor, and it involves many traditions: the bonfire, the football game, the parade, Pigskin Revue and more. Now, why is the bonfire the best one of the weekend?
With October winding down and November soon to be upon us, it’s safe to say that the semester is flying by. We’re over halfway done, which might be either a source of relief to you or a harsh reality check. Either way, here’s some advice to keep in mind for the coming weeks.
I felt a definite dip in creativity and innovation from last year’s showdown, and only one act — Phi Kappa Chi — showed the most willingness to think outside the box. Alas, eight must go through to Pigskin, and I’m sure happy I don’t have to choose from this lackluster group of acts.
