ni Sing Like the ADPis, Phi Mu saw a good thing going with the moves from Motown and adapted Groovin ' tor United Way for their theme. Taking second place in the women ' s divi- sion, the Zetas started their night with Celebrate and ended it with La Vida Loca. And, the first place was awarded to Alpha Gamma Delta and their theme of the sunshine coming after the rain. The Alpha Gams vowed they Ain ' t Going Down Till The Sun Comes Up There were just as many lively performances in the men ' s division as in the women ' s. ATO ' s best performed song of the night was Rosa Parks. The Kappa Sigmas kept a bad boyz theme going all night. In fact, the Police made an appearance with Roxanne. Second-place winners for the night were the Sigma Chis, singing ' 60 ' s love songs to their sweethearts and the entire audience. FIJI captured the first-place prize hands down with songs like You ' ve Lost That Loving Feeling and Build Me Up Buttercup. The BCM won the co-ed division and per- formed as the only group singing Truckin ' Back To You and Keep On. Overall and once again, it was an amazing night. It was not exactly like that night decades ago, but it definitely had the same spirit and enthusiasm. — Carev Harrison and Anne Beam SHOW TIME.
