The sisters of Alpha Delta Pi and the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma took first place and Best of Show in Wednesday night’s 2005 Line Dance competition, which is part of Greekfest.

The doors opened at 7 p.m. and admission was $2.

The country line dance performance of ADPi brought the crowd to their feet with their routine to “Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy’ by Big and Rich. They wore brown fitted shirts, jeans and cowboy hats.

“I love the fact that they did a country song. It showed uniqueness and I was extremely proud of them,” said Neena Shetsky, a senior AD Pi, Communications major from Milan, Tenn.

Phi Beta Sigma, sporting matching outfits and sharp dance moves to ‘Georgia Dome’ by the Ying Yang Twins, really got the crowd excited when they took the floor.

Brannon Hobbs, a Graphic Design major from Germantown, Tenn. who is a member of Phi Beta Sigma said, “Line dancing is a big tradition among black Greeks. It shows individuality and pride. It is exciting to have all the Greeks on campus involved and to see the creative dances they have made. My organization, Phi Beta Sigma Inc. line danced to give the crowd a good show and also to represent our fraternity at it’s best.”

Other groups that competed that night included: Chi Omega, Alpha Omicron Pi, Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

The ladies of Delta Sigma Theta took home second place after they performed to Nelly’s ‘Na-NaNa-Na’. They were dressed in jeans and red and white baseball style shirts with masks.

Delta Sigma Theta member, Sherika Norris, a Visual Communications major from Memphis, Tenn. said, “We put a lot of effort and creative ideas to set us aside from the other sororities competing. Our main focus was to show our Delta Pride. Be on the look out for next year’s competition because we plan to win first place.”

SigEp’s routine, which included the song “Real Big’ by Big Tymers earned them second place in the fraternity division.

Matt Muehlberger, a senior Communications major from Leesburg, VA said, “I really enjoyed the entire show and I am especially proud of my brothers’ performance. They did a great job!”
