On Friday night, Lipscomb students stepped back in time for the second annual Full Moon Festival in the Student Activities Center.
Organized by social clubs Theta Psi and Delta Omega, the fifties-themed dance raised awareness for Lipscomb’s drug and alcohol policy, providing students with a fun, drug and alcohol-free environment.
“We’re doing a fifties theme each year,” said Delta Omega president Makenzie Kanyuh. “It will always stay that way, but we plan on constantly changing around the overall theme.”
This year’s theme had a classic movie twist. The dance floor showcased posters for classic films like “Gone With the Wind” and “East of Eden.”
The event was bustling with students dressed in ’50s and ’60s clothing. Popular elements of the evening included an ice cream float station, a photo booth and a live band.
The clubs began planning the dance at the beginning of the spring semester, but the actual set up for the Full Moon Festival didn’t begin until Friday morning.
“I had the roots set from last year, but it was a lot of work,” said Theta Psi social coordinator Cody LaRochelle. “I couldn’t have done it without the help from everybody.”
Proceeds from the festival went to Good Spread, a peanut butter company that donates food to malnourished children.
