UK’s Greek Sing 2025: Breaking Records and Granting Wishes
Each year, the University of Kentucky's Greek community rallies together for one of the campus’s most beloved and long-standing traditions: Greek Sing. Hosted for an incredible 52 years by Chi Omega, and proudly co-hosted this year by Beta Theta Pi, Greek Sing 2025 was more than just a night of performances—it was a powerful celebration of service, community, and hope.
Dancing for a Cause
Greek Sing brings together 31 Greek Life chapters for an evening of choreographed dance routines performed live at Rupp Arena, home to the eight-time National Champion Kentucky Wildcats. But the dancing is just the grand finale of a months-long philanthropic effort. Chapters fundraise and participate in events throughout the year, including a Launch Party, Bake Sale, and Wish Week, all leading up to the main event.
The heart behind it all? The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Every dollar raised goes toward granting life-changing wishes for local children facing critical illnesses.
Record-Breaking Fundraising
With a goal of raising $450,000, the organizers already had high hopes after last year’s historic total of $440,671.94. But Greek Sing 2025 exceeded expectations in the most spectacular way by raising a record-breaking $506,050.37.
To put that into perspective: with the average wish costing $10,000, this year’s event will help grant around 50 wishes for local children and their families.
Streamlining Success with CrowdChange
Behind the scenes, CrowdChange played a key role in making Greek Sing 2025 such a fundraising success. The chapter opted for a custom CrowdChange site to host Greek Sing and all related events, featuring their own logo and colors for a cohesive, branded experience. Keeping everything in one place made the organizers’ lives significantly easier, simplifying both promotion and management. The platform offered custom donation pages, team fundraising tools, and an engaging leaderboard that fueled friendly competition among the 31 participating chapters. Plus, the built-in admin reports made it quick and easy to keep tabs on how much they had raised collectively through all Greek Sing–adjacent events.
“Having a custom CrowdChange fundraising site made it so much easier to share our fundraiser,” the organizers said. “Team fundraising was incredibly beneficial. Each chapter was extremely motivated, and the leaderboard kept the energy high.”
A Moment to Remember
Of all the incredible moments, one stood out above the rest: when the nine honored Wish families entered Rupp Arena and received a standing ovation from thousands of cheering students. That moving welcome underscored the true purpose of Greek Sing—coming together in service of something bigger than ourselves.
“It is truly an honor to host this event and share our love for philanthropy with the University of Kentucky and all of its Greek Life chapters,” said the event team. “Our work is not done until every child awaiting their wish has their wish granted.”
