\"\"<\/a>So, Chapel Sing. Yeah…<\/p>\n

I really don\u2019t know what to say about this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying it was bad. Rather, it was an experience; all the guys standing in their lines, singing while Sphinx Club members try to catch them slipping up, all of it is better if the viewer is present than if they\u2019re just reading about someone talking about it. Being new to this experience, I have no idea if it\u2019s better watching or singing (probably singing), but most of the participants seemed to have fun… although some of the Sphinx Club members seemed to have had a little too much fun.<\/p>\n

That, however, is not a bad thing; it is the job of the Sphinx Club to protect and spread the traditions of Wabash. Chapel Sing is a very important tradition, and they need to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible, otherwise the entire experience is lost. Yes, I could try to make an argument that they should have eased up a little with hunting down people making mistakes, but I don\u2019t think it would be a very strong argument. They\u2019re just doing their job, and we can\u2019t blame them for that.<\/p>\n

If any non-Wabash readers are here, I would recommend going to Chapel sing sometime in the future, just for the experience. I\u2019m not saying you should fly halfway across the country just to see a bunch of guys singing a song (although that hasn\u2019t stopped people from going to rock concerts), but if you ever happen to be visiting on Homecoming Week, stop by and check it out. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
