The men of Chi Lambda Phi placed first for their portrayal of Alaskan Eskimos in 2016 Spring Sing: Land That We Love.
“This year we were all just about having fun and we all had the same mindset,” David Paul Kritz, one of Chi’s directors, said. “Even though people might not believe it Spring Sing is never about winning for us. After the Saturday night performance we went second, we went back into the gym and we just lost it. The feeling we got after stepping off the stage after our Saturday night performance was far more satisfying than hearing our name called for the trophy.”
Following in second, the women of Iota Kappa Phi as the Witches of Oz from Kansas, third, the men of Kappa Sigma Tau as The Outsiders from Oklahoma and the men of Psi Epsilon in fourth as the Democrats and Republicans of Washington, D.C.
“I know all the clubs have worked so incredibly hard and to be the ones that got second is such a big deal for Iota,” Hayley Waldo, one of Iota’s directors, said. “Everyone in Iota loved the theme and the moves and the songs, and that would have been enough for me. We wanted to create a show that was relatable, funny entertaining and a blast to be a part of. Winning awards feels awesome, but that’s what was really important to me.”
Theta Theta Theta took home the audience favorite award, voted on by the audience members at each performance, for the second year in a row as the Ringling Bros of Wisconsin.
Thursday night, the Freshmen as the Minnies and Mickeys of California won the Tealridge award, given to the favorite club of the residents of Tealridge Christian Retirement Community.
