Phi Kappa Delta, a new women&#8217;s club, is rehearsing for its Spring Sing debut with clubs Iota Chi and Shantih.<\/p>\n<p>Phi Kappa Delta added its name to the list of Harding social clubs this past semester, and the club&#8217;s Spring Sing director is freshman Claire Perry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re super excited,&#8221; Perry said. &#8220;We weren&#8217;t sure at first if Spring Sing would even be an option for us this year, but we&#8217;re proud to represent this club and be part of something big.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About 50 participants are in the Phi Kappa Delta, Iota Chi and Shantih group.<\/p>\n<p>Sophomore Meredith Sanders is one of Iota Chi&#8217;s Spring Sing directors, taking part in what is Iota Chi&#8217;s first all-girl show in club history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re enjoying working with these clubs so much,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;We&#8217;re not used to working with only girls, but we&#8217;re having an amazing time. Everyone is easy to teach and willing to learn. We want to make this the best show we possibly can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rehearsals are in full swing for the eight club shows this year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the directors&#8217; meetings so far, all of the clubs seem to have great ideas,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s going to be a competitive year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cindee Stockstill, producer for Spring Sing 2014, says she is looking forward to the new features of this year&#8217;s show.<\/p>\n<p>One anticipated addition is the reappearance of Knights, who have not been involved in Spring Sing for 14 years. Their theme is the American Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goal is to bring new things to the stage for Spring Sing and stand out so far apart from everybody else, because I feel like that is characteristic of Knights,&#8221; junior Harrison Waldron, director of the Knights show said. &#8220;We are typically the outside-of-the-box club; we are trying to be unique.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stockstill said she is looking forward to what the new clubs and groups have in store.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The number of participating clubs has gone up, and the number of participants has obviously gone up as well, so our expectation levels are high,&#8221; Stockstill said. &#8220;But our levels of excitement are high as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other new pairings this year include men&#8217;s club Omega Phi joining Delta Gamma Rho, Chi Omega Pi and Zeta Pi Zeta, and men&#8217;s club Sigma Nu Epsilon joining Ko Jo Kai and Ju Go Ju.<\/p>\n<p>Stockstill said exciting new technology is also in store for those who attend Spring Sing 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will be some surprises this year in the technological aspects of the show,&#8221; Stockstill said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Sing groups are beginning practices this year with new participants and new pairings.
