Fraternity to sing fight song for 24 hours

In an effort to muster up school spirit for Saturday’s Bronco-Vandal football game, Kappa Sigma fraternity will be singing the Boise State fight song for 24 hours straight in the Quad.

Starting at 2 p.m. on Thursday, 17 Kappa Sigma members will take turns singing the fight song every 30 minutes until 2 p.m. Friday.

“We want to increase awareness on campus about the rivalry. New students may not know about the rivalry. So, we want to hype it up,” fraternity Vice President George Thomas said.

Thomas and fraternity President Mike Clifford started the tradition last year when Kappa Sigma sang the fight song in the quad for 24 hours nonstop. After they finished singing, the brothers piled into their cars and headed for Moscow-deep into hostile territory.

Upon arriving in the Palouse, they made a wager with their affiliate fraternity at the University of Idaho about the outcome of the game: The losing fraternity would have to sing the other school’s fight song in a public spectacle. The Broncos won the game.

“Their chapter president ended up running around the outside of his frat house, singing our fight song, wearing only a fuzzy pink hat and boxer shorts. It was hilarious,” Thomas said.

The two fraternities haven’t recorded any bets for this year’s game.

News Channel 7 taped the singing in the quad last year, and the fraternity is expecting the same coverage this year.

The group hopes to have some company during the event.

“We always welcome anyone to assist us in singing. We’re not singers by any means,” Thomas said.

Kappa Sigma invites all Boise State fans to stop by for a listen.

“This is not only geared to booster school spirit, we are also doing this as a rush tool for our fraternity,” Thomas said.
