University of Alabama 1977
“Hilaritas” is a Greek word that translates loosely into “Live joyfully, and be proud of what you are!” Like the sign of the fish, early Christians used “Hilaritas” as a password. The word has taken on a similar meaning at the University of Alabama since 1969 when the University Singers and the Alabama Jazz Ensemble gave their first performance of holiday music, known as Hilaritas.
