Football Culture at a Football-less College
At most colleges in the South, Saturdays in the fall mean one thing: football. Packed stadiums, tailgates as far as you can see and entire campuses that revolve around the 22 men on the field. But at Lipscomb, there is no team to cheer for. For some, that absence feels like a missing piece. For others, it has created space for a different kind of community. “Football consumes me,” said senior Dylan Swindle. “I’ve made it a part of my life by involving friends in it and making community around it.” Swindle was born and raised an Alabama Crimson Tide fan. Despite not having a team at his own school,…

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.

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 air was thick with excitement as the new members waited for an invitation to join one of Lipscomb’s twelve social clubs. “It’s a mix of nerves and excitement, but mostly, I just feel really grateful to get to be a part of it,” said sophomore Madilyn Muse. “It feels like the beginning of a new chapter.” Lipscomb has both a fall and spring rush season. While spring is usually for freshmen, fall rush is exclusively for transfer and returning…
