University of North Alabama - Diorama Yearbook

“I I 0^y% .r\ Steppin ' out for United Way 10 Here I am, in the cavernous Norton Auditorium. Surrounded by other students, faculty and staff, and some community members all waiting for it to begin. I ' ve only heard about this event — I ' ve never been to Step Sing before and don ' t know quite what to expect. The house lights go dark. Lights begin to brighten over the stage. The air quivers with nervousness. Anticipation ends as the show begins. Zeta Tau Alpha, who placed first in the women ' s division, started off the event, which benefitted United Way. The Zeta sisters rocked ' n rolled to some of the most popular songs that colored the ' 50s and ' 60s. UNA ' S newest iraltTnity. Alpha Tau Omega, left its mark on the university t^y winning nrst place In the men ' s division. With the ' 40s era and the Swini > motif. their outstanding performance brought the Tin Pan Alley theme to Norton.

In the men ' s division, Sigma Chi tried something new for them this year. They compiled several well- known songs from TV shows and applied them humor- ously to university life. Alpha Delta Pi stood apart from the rest that night by their Chorus Line performance, consisting of ener- getic song and dance. Another somewhat energetic scenario was that of the Kappa Sigmas. Looking back on MTV. this group surprised the audience as they proudly showed their glow-in-the-dark costumes, lighting the auditorium with a funky glow. It was a " Whole New World " for the audience as they witnessed Alpha Gamma Delta. These ladies of the university chose Aladdin as their theme for the night, and made every move count. There was an Elvis spotting on the Norton stage, too, and the Sigma Alpha Epsilons were to blame. These brothers were responsible for providing the audi- ence with a laugh as an overweight Elvis shook his sti^Pon stage.

Audience members who poured forth from the auditorium that night seemed agreed that this year ' s Step Sing was a success. Contestants exemplified school spirit through routines touched with comic relief, originality and ultimate creativity. — Anne Beam only entry for irough " Green igo. from the ' 60s, lay with another ' of their routine, le laps of the gap- ”
