On stage, Master of Ceremonies and Greek Sing co- chair john Wolfe opened with a song that kicked off the evening's festivities. Greek Sing was the culmination of Greek Week, a week of activities planned by fraternities and sororities to raise money for a charitable organization. In 1987, the Make-A- ings of Gamma philanthropic chosen was the Wish Foundation. This Arizona-based or- ganization granted last wishes to termi- nally ill children. Those who participated in Greek Sing enjoyed themselves and took home mem- ories of fun that would last for years to come. However, everyone involved also took the task of raising money seriously, as rehearsals for the spring event began in February and continued until the day of the event. The purpose of Greek Week and Greek Sing was to raise money for a worthy cause and to show that the Greek system was more than just a social organization, said Iohn Wolfe, co-chair of Greek Sing. It unified the system and the fact that. we helped terminally ill children get a last wish made everyone feel good, in addition of being proud of their contribution. Greek Sing was the grand finale of Greek Sing co-chairs Cheryl Pick, QKappa Alpha Thetaj, and john Wolfe, QKappa Sigmaj, host the 1987 all-Greek variety show. Proceeds of Greek Sing went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. An interesting view is seen by Heather Surber, fAlpha Delta Pij as fBeta Theta Pij Phil Calzadillu dips her. The fraternities and sororities were placed in teams and entertained a large audience at Gam- mage with songs and dance routines. 326 Dreams Come True Greek Week. Teams made up of various houses performed skits and musical num- bers for the audience. Six teams, which consisted of people from 33 houses, danced and sang, competing for the top three places. The winning musical numbers included the first place The Quest, by Alpha Phi, Pi Beta Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, and Alpha Epsilon Phi. In The Quest, five ASU graduates went on a quest for their destiny. Pinnochio and the Seven Dwarfs came in second as members of Kappa Al- pha Theta, Alpha Gamma Delta, Sigma Nu, and Theta Chi helped Pinnochio search for the meaning of boyhood. Sigma Phi Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gam- ma, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Pi, and Lambda Chi Alpha placed third with Traditions, the story of a director trying to save his career. The competition and commitment to- ward a final goal fostered a spirit that was hard to explain. Ianeen Cox, Alpha Phi social chairman, said: We started off as seperate groups working towards the com- mon goal of helping people and that cre- ated a special bond. We became like a big brotherhood and sisterhood in reality. Our hard work paid off, both for ourselves and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. -Helena Tselos M.......-.da-r QW
