GATA social club invited non-members to “baaaa” in their Sing Song act as bad black sheep and lost little lambs this year.

The club extended the invitation to close friends, roommates and women who wanted to be involved in Sing Song to give their act a stronger sound, said Abra Barker, senior integrated marketing communication major from Flower Mound.

“We know this is not traditionally what GATA has done in the past, but this year we wanted Sing Song to not be about winning but doing something well while having fun,” said Barker, GATA president.

This semester the social club celebrated its 86th year on campus, along with its 50-year participation in Sing Song.

The club’s mission was to change the way social clubs look on campus.

“Through this awesome opportunity, we get to give some girls the taste of how much fun a social club can be,” Barker said.

The unusual invitation allowed the women to make new friends within and outside the club “that they will have the rest of their college years,” Barker said.

GATA Sing Song director Lindsey Scraggs led this year’s act, called “Embraceable Ewes.”

The women, dressed as sheep, sing about being lost and bad black sheep, but the act’s spotlight shines on how rams can’t live without ewes.
