The Results are In: FIJI and partner-sorority Alpha Phi placed 3rd Overall in the 80th Annual Songfest at that took place last Thursday at the UCI Bren Events Center. Our rendition of Wicked received rave reviews from the panel of judges and a standing ovation from an audience of over 2,000. An article about the event is available from the New University. This year’s Songfest event cumulatively raised over $30,000 to help and promote the awareness of children in Africa suffering from AIDS. We hope you thoroughly enjoyed this year’s show.
