The Loveliest Village

Greek Sing is a tradition among Auburn University’s sixteen Panhellenic sororities that is held every year during spring semester. Throughout the semester the sororities prepare for the event by practicing hours on end to perfect their themed dancing and singing segment.

Each Panhellenic sorority competes in Greek Sing by participating in a song and dance competition that includes original themed costumes, props, and creative backdrops for appealing scenery. The collaboration of all sixteen sororities produces an exhilarating show every year. The groups are individually judged and awards are rewarded to the top three highest scoring sororities. In addition, there is a Spirit Award given for participation and a Presidents’ Choice award based on a vote of the sixteen chapter presidents.

Greek Sing is a great event that raises thousands of dollars annually which benefits the Habitat for Humanity Lee County chapter and unifies all the sororities together for a night of fun. Here is an interview with an Auburn Panhellenic member participating in Greek Sing on Tuesday, April 8, 2008.
