Going for Lucky #7? Sing Song streaks at stake for seventh straight win

February 15, 2008 by Laura Acuff

By Laura Acuff, Student Reporter

Social clubs Sigma Theta Chi and Gamma Sigma Phi will compete in Sing Song this weekend for the chance to increase their six-year consecutive winning streaks to seven in the club Sing Song competition.

“Really honestly, I just want to have a good show,” said Siggie director Randy Yeats, senior music education major from Bedford. “I’m not worried about being the director that doesn’t keep it going or anything. We just really want to have a good show. There’s pressure to win just because we’re competitive. We’re a competitive club.”

Rather than winning a seventh year in a row, Yeats said her club’s main objective is to do well, not necessarily to win. She said past history doesn’t change their approach.

“It doesn’t affect anything. It really doesn’t. We’re just trying to have a good time and have a good show. We’re proud. We are proud of the past six years, but we can’t hold that as something that we need to keep going for because that’s just silly,” Yeats said.

Yeats said she felt blessed to have that “dynasty,” but the Siggies don’t talk about winning for the seventh year.

“As long as we have a good show, that’s what we’re going to be proud of, because if we win and have a bad show, it just won’t be something that we’re proud of,” Yeats said. “We want to be proud of the show and proud of what we do onstage. The dynasty doesn’t mean anything to us.”

GSP director Cash Teague, senior youth and family ministry major from Carollton said his club was more concerned with improving themselves than winning.

“Mostly we just try and work hard, do our best,” Teague said. “This year is just trying to outdo the year before, but mostly we just do our best and work hard.”

However, Teague also said having such a legacy sometimes affected the attitudes of club members.

“All the guys that have won. sometimes it’s hard to get them as motivated because they can get a big head, but it’s a lot to live up to,” Teague said.

Although repeat winners like GSP traditionally offer stiff competition, GATA president Laci Lawrence, senior criminal justice major from Andrews, said the actual competition isn’t her club’s focus.

“We are a smaller club, and for us it’s just about having fun and impressing our alumni that come back. And if we get first or second or third, then we’re happy, and we’re proud about that, but really it’s about us having fun,” Lawrence said.

This year’s GSP act features magicians, and Siggie members perform dressed as bowling pins. GATA’s performance personifies records in a jukebox.

My second year at ACU was full of opportunities that grew me as an individual and a journalist.

In my first year as editor in chief of @acuoptimist, we published six print issues, filmed a 3-hour live election show, and revamped our newscast, all while producing news weekly.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
