Kangas '23 T his year, members of Beta Theta Pi participated in an event called Humorology, or Humo for short. Humo is an annual, juried, musical/ variety show that takes place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in April of each year. It has been a UW-Madison tradition since 1948, touching the lives of students and the community through the friendships that are made and the funds that are raised. Humo is also the largest student-run philanthropic organization in the state of Wisconsin. Students spend the course of the academic year on a team writing, composing, choreographing, and directing original mini-musical comedies. This year, Beta Theta Pi has paired with Alpha Epsilon Phi to create a show. Each cast consists of at least one sorority and one fraternity, and they make a name to combine their chapters. We creatively named ourselves BAEPHI (bay-ee-phi). After not having a show in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID, we were thrilled to be able to perform this spring. This year, there are nine casts competing for six final show spots, which will take place in our Memorial Union Theater this April. While competing to create the best show, the casts also compete against one another to raise the most money for the philanthropic partner that Humorology chooses to donate to that year. Humo has a constant desire to broaden its philanthropic impact in our community and has had great success in the past partnering with local philanthropies. With that, Humorology's beneficiary for the 2021- 22 school year is the Respite Center of Dane County. This incredible organization provides emergency childcare, both during the day and overnight, for children up to age 14 in Madison. In addition, parents and caregivers can use the Respite Center for planned breaks as they search for housing and job security, needed childcare while they attend medical appointments or undergo surgery, or needed breaks so they can study and work toward their educational goals. Although our cast fell just short of moving on to the spring semester, the cast achieved many great successes. Over the course of the fall, BAEPHI raised over $21,000 for the Respite Center, put together a wonderful show, and developed lasting friendships!
