Trojans solidify social club status with Sing Song act

January 23, 2009 by Katie Gager

By Katie Gager, Student Reporter

One club will enjoy Sing Song this year without the pressure of competition. Men’s social club Trojans will be performing in Sing Song, but will not be part of the club competition.

“Even though we can’t win doesn’t mean we can’t be the best and get people talking about us,” said Trojan Sing Song director Mike Miles, senior Christian ministry major from Ann Harbor, Mich.

Tom Craig, director of Student Productions, said the club was not an active club during the initial Sing Song registration in November and originally not set to perform in this year’s Sing Song. However, when men’s social club Pi Kappa was required to drop out because of a failure to meet the minimum on stage requirements, Trojans was provided a spot to join the show as an “exhibition act.”

“Everyone is so stressed about winning and out-doing other clubs,” said Trojan secretary Adam Tate, sophomore biochemistry major from Abilene. “That’s not what we’re about, and I hope people see that.”

Trojans members worked during the fall semester at re-chartering the club, and the club officially became active on campus this semester. Re-chartering the club was “an experience,” Tate said.

“Everyone says, ‘You didn’t have to pledge’ and I say, well you didn’t have to re-charter,” he said.

Each member of the club worked together from re-writing the club’s more than 50-year-old constitution to setting goals for the clubs future on campus.

“It’s still a big question on campus of whether we are a club or not,” said Jeff Morris, sophomore biochemistry major from Richmond. “This gives us an opportunity to show people that we are back and we will be a viable club for pledging in the fall.”

Trojans has 38 active members on campus with six studying abroad for a total of 44 total members. All members on campus will be participating in some way in this year’s act.

“Our hope is to perform well and to do our best,” Tate said. “We just want to have fun and show everyone it is possible.”
