Historical Note: The first annual Savitar Frolic was produced by Donald J. Galamba in 1938 as a way to showcase what he perceived as unrecognized talent within the University of Missouri-Columbia Greek System. The Savitar Frolics was a competition between the houses with short skits written, produced, and performed entirely by their members. Judging was done by representative students and faculty and a traveling trophy was awarded. Funds raised from admissions were initially used to defray production costs of The Savitar, the yearbook. The Savitar Frolics stopped being held by the late 1960s.
