The show will feature competition between fraternities and sororities from Baylor and other universities. Prize money will be awarded to the first-and second-place winners from the men's and women's divisions.

This year also will feature host Maurice Kain Carter, a comedian who has gained popularity by posting videos on his YouTube channel, which now has more than 2 million views.
Alpha Phi Alpha began hosting Battle on the Burning Sands in 2005. Each year Alpha Phi Alpha invites a celebrity guest host.
