Tatum Wessling opened the show as the Georgetown Activities Council President. Following her was the Georgetown Dance team and Cheerleading Squad. The President’s House Association, Phi Mu, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Gamma Delta, Zetta Phi Betta, Lambdi Chi Alpha, Kappa Delta, and Tiger Pride Entertainment all performed for alums, family and fellow students.

Mariah Addington, one of Phi Mu’s songfest writers, said “Although we did not win Songfest this year, I definetly felt like we still won in sisterhood. Also, I cannot remember a practice feeling where we all didn’t end up belly laughing about something someone did or said. It truly grew our love for each other this year and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. ”
