Just about every Christmas song ever written will be sung at ONU during the Kappa Phi Sing-A-Thon.

Here, members of the group perform at the beginning of the marathon. The 24 hour continuous sing will find more than 100 students singing, in groups and individually, between 5 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. Saturday raising their voices for a good cause...to help little Amelia Griffin from Ada who is battling cancer.

The sing-a-thon has been held for many years. The event is a project of the local chapter of the Christian women's service.
