Rock Chalk Revue is an annual production of five 25-minute skits put on by about 200 students from five pairs of living organizations.
Money raised from the show will be donated to United Way of Lawrence.
"With this being the 50th year, we're hoping that it will be the best ever," said Alex Locke, executive director of the revue. "All of groups were great, and it made choosing the top five difficult."
Ten groups, each made up of one fraternity and one sorority, turned in notebooks Nov. 6. The notebooks contained a skit script and information about the music, costumes, set design and characters.
From there, a panel of judges who have no connection with the University of Kansas decided which skits would be the best for Rock Chalk.
Last night, at the annual In-Out announcement in the Kansas Union Ballroom, representatives waited intently to see if their

"I was a vegetable, a goner until I started using art as a therapy tool," Campbell said. "Through art I could express my deep-heated anger and all the sadness inside of myself."
Art therapy, a growing psychoanalytical field that uses arts as treatment, is not offered at the University of Kansas.
Even though the career has been around for more than 25 years and the current degree holders find jobs, Kansas college administrators and Board of Regents representatives say they are afraid of flooding the market with art therapists.
"I think there's a KU lack of knowledge about art therapy," Campbell said.
When Campbell came back to the University for the second time more than 10 years ago, she asked about art therapy. The School of Fine Arts told her that there was no demand for the career and to choose something else.
