All Campus Sing (ACS) was voted as the best on-campus event.
Every April since 1958, except for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, student groups perform song, dance and skit performances on the steps of Lovett Auditorium. Beyond putting on a show for the Murray community, the event, hosted by sorority Sigma Alpha Iota, also serves to donate to their philanthropy People to People.
People to People donates instruments to schools in nearly 60 countries.
Sigma Alpha Iota President Lucy Wilkinson said she is happy to see ACS back to its normal format.
“I would describe Sigma Alpha Iota’s All Campus Sing as an event that is an experience like no other,” Wilkinson said. “Being able to see organizations all across campus come together to share music is a truly inspirational thing.”
The 2022 ACS took place on April 28. Before this ACS a majority of students hadn’t experienced a normal ACS. In 2020, ACS was canceled as students were sent home in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. And in 2021, ACS was hosted remotely through a YouTube livestream, only allowing up to three performers at a time.
ACS Chair Addi Bussen said she was happy to see an important piece of Murray State tradition come back.
“For ACS last year we at least wanted to have something that people could get involved with, because I feel like there was a weird lack of spirit,” Bussen said. “This year since we are back to normal there will be a lot much more involvement.”
