One hit wonders ranging from It’s Raining Men to Baby Got Back were performed by various fraternities and sororities Friday night at SAC’s Lip Sync.
The show was hosted by Jenny Nicks and Bo Mantooth.
The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity started the show with a song that would be constantly repeated throughout the night, Barbie Girl. They continued with a great imitation of Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby, in which the imitator broke into some old school dancing. Next came a strip tease to I’m Too Sexy.
Their performance imitated the videos of the songs that they danced to.
Other songs that were performed by ATO include Baby Got Back, Play that Funky Music White Boy, Don’t Worry, Be Happy and The Macarena.
The next fraternity to perform was Sigma Phi Epsilon. Their props included everything to make the stage look like a bar. Their set of songs included Rico Suave, Who Let the Dogs Out, Mambo Number Five, Achy Breaky Heart, Tubthumper, Barbie Girl, Baby Got Back What is Love, and Smokin in the Boy’s Room.
After this, Pi Kappa Alpha was the next fraternity to perform. They started with their own rendition of What is Love, then they jumped into Baby Got Back.
Next came three ninjas who lip synced to Kung Fu Fighting. This song was followed by Ice Ice Baby and Achy Breaky Heart, complete with the group of guys line dancing.
The Pike who lip synced to Who Let the Dogs Out was accompanied by four dalmatians. Their set of songs ended with the entire group coming out and singing I’m Too Sexy.
The brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho also sang I’m Too Sexy, although theirs differed from the others in that they sang it while modeling in a fashion show.
Next came I Wish I was a Balla, Barbie Girl and Turn Around Bright Eyes. The song, Working for the Weekend, was done by two “Chippendale” strippers.
AGR’s performance ended with I’ve Had the Time of My Life. Kappa Alpha Order was the next fraternity to compete. They began with It’s Raining Men. This performance included the brothers running around in ponchos with umbrellas.
Other songs performed by the KA brothers were Lady in Red, I’m Too Sexy, Achy Breaky Heart, Baby Got Back and That Thing You Do.

All of the KA brothers joined together on stage for the last song of their performance, Take My Breath Away.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the next fraternity to head up on stage to perform. Baby Got Back was the first song in their set. They continued with How Bizarre, which they described as the one with the Mexicans and the car.
