==Student life== [[File:2012-06-09 Ilibagiza + Ramsey at Lipscomb.jpg|thumb|left|[[Immaculée Ilibagiza]] (left), survivor of the [[Rwandan genocide]], at the Christian Scholars' Conference in 2012.]] Lipscomb does not have [[fraternities and sororities]]. Rather, it has social clubs, which are local and unique to Lipscomb University and are not part of any national Greek system.<ref name="socialclubs">{{cite web |url=https://www.lipscomb.edu/gogreek/social-clubs |title=Social Clubs |publisher=Lipscomb University |access-date=January 28, 2018}}</ref> ''The Babbler'' is the defunct student newspaper and was published weekly during the spring and fall semesters. The title of the publication came from [[Acts of the Apostles|Acts]] 17:18 which in part says "What does this babbler have to say?"<ref name="babbler">{{cite web |url=http://babbler.lipscomb.edu/page.asp?SID=144&Page=468 |title=About ''The Babbler'' |work=Lipscomb.edu |access-date=March 17, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207053946/http://babbler.lipscomb.edu/page.asp?SID=144&Page=468 |archive-date=February 7, 2009 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> ''The Backlog'' is the school's yearbook and is published annually. The Lumination Network, the school's converged student media outlet, replaced the weekly ''Babbler'' and is tied heavily with the academic program of the Department of Communication and Journalism.<ref name="lumination">{{cite web |url=http://www.luminationnetwork.com |title=Lumination |access-date=August 27, 2010}}</ref> "Lumination Network is Lipscomb University's official student news service."<ref>{{cite web |title=Lumination Network |url=http://luminationnetwork.com/ |website=Lumination Network |publisher=Lipscomb University |access-date=10 July 2023}}</ref> An independent student newsletter, the ''Lipscomb Underground'', provided unfiltered student opinion for the campus.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lipscombunderground.com |title=The Lipscomb Underground |website=The Lipscomb Underground |access-date=February 24, 2017}}</ref> The LU originally ran from 1994 to 2008, resurfacing in 2016, and persisting on Twitter until 2018. The name ''Lipscomb Underground'' comes from the musical ''[[Les Misérables (musical)|Les Misérables]]'' which in part says "Make for the sewers, go underground!"<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://lipscombunderground.tripod.com/history.html |title=The History of the Lipscomb Underground |publisher=The Lipscomb Underground |access-date=February 24, 2017}}</ref> [[File:WTN EVula 146.jpg|thumb|An example of the bison painted by students by Collins Alumni Auditorium]]
