    Delta Sigma continues Lipscomb’s social club traditions

    This year, Delta Sigma is participating in its first New Member Orientation (NMO) week since 2019.  First established in 1967, Delta Sigma was reintroduced last spring. Like all of Lipscomb’s social clubs, it welcomes new members with a week of orientation activities. But during the club’s reintroduction, founding members had a chance to reconsider their NMO traditions. Instead of continuing the same activities, Delta Sigma had the opportunity to redesign. They spent months planning for their first rush cycle. Their process provided a window into the “why” behind Lipscomb’s social clubs’ traditions.  Delta Sigma president Anna Wren Rogers offered insight into the purpose of NMO week. “Social clubs are created…

    Boot Scoot a success for Line Dancing at Lipscomb

    For many, Boot Scoot is a Lipscomb way to kick off the semester. Always a popular event, this year’s Boot Scoot saw more attendees than in the past, despite being relocated to Shamblin Theater. When serious rain threatened to ruin the event often held in the Square, SAB and Line Dancing at Lipscomb – the event’s hosts – decided to hold it in Shamblin Theater. Instead of dampening the event, or destroying the attendance, in some ways it wound up making it feel more like a night downtown. “We were kind of upset that we had to have it in Shamblin, because it’s always been in the Square and that’s…

    The heart of Little Women: director and lead actress share their insights

    Lipscomb’s theater department brought Little Women to the stage. Director Beki Baker shared her behind-the-scenes knowledge and passion for the production. The decision to produce Little Women comes from a place of love for Baker. “I read Little Women when I was young, and so I’ve always loved the story,” the director shared. “I was actually going to direct it in 2020. It was going to be the fall 2020 musical, and of course, we all know what happened that year with the pandemic and things. So it got put on the back burner, so finally, five years later, the right opportunity came up to do it.” Behind the scenes,…

    Lipscomb soccer serves through sport in El Salvador

    The Lipscomb women’s soccer team recently returned from a life-changing mission trip to El Salvador, where they used their love of the game to connect with local communities. Organized through Sport Outreach International (SOI), the trip gave players the chance to teach and play soccer with kids in underserved areas. While the language barrier posed some challenges, players found that the sport itself became a powerful tool for connection. “This one felt different because we got to play soccer and connect with them through sport,” said sophomore midfielder Neeley Geissinger. “I thought that was even more beautiful just because it is so hard with the language barrier.” The team rotated…
