In honor of it being Valentine’s Day, I decided to write about one of my favorite loves – Lip Sync at Iowa State University! This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday which means we have lip sync practice on Valentine’s Day.
Luckily … Greeks LOVE lip sync. For those of you who just don’t understand why, here are a few reasons why we love it so much:
Dancing
We love lip sync because we get to dance! It doesn’t matter if you are good or bad. We dance because we simply love dancing! No matter the skill level, there is a dance for you in a lip sync skit.
Competing
We love lip sync because we are competitive! Greeks compete over almost everything from our grades to performing onstage. Every Greek student dreams of taking home a praised first place lip sync trophy.
Hanging out with friends
We love lip sync because we get to hang out with our friends for an extra six hours a week! We are doing what we love with our sorority sisters and fraternity brothers. There is nothing better.
Making new friends
We love lip sync because we get to make new friends! During lip sync we are paired with at least two other chapters. This is a great way to meet new people. How cute would it be if you can one day tell your future kids that you met your true love at a lip sync practice?
Songs
We love lip sync because we use bad-ass songs! Every lip sync skit includes multiple songs. Everyone in your squad can bust a move when one of your lip sync songs is played at the bars or at a pairing party.
Costumes
We love lip sync because we get to wear costumes - It’s like Halloween in April! Obviously, awesome costumes make for awesome Instagram pictures.
Performing
We love lip sync because we get to perform on a huge stage in front of a huge audience! It is an adrenaline rush to see all of your hard work come together. Performing your lip sync skit makes you feel like you played an important part in your lip sync skit.
So this Valentine’s Day, go on a dinner date with that special someone and then get your butt to lip sync practice!
