Greek Life

Greek Week

Each year, sororities and fraternities come together for a week full of events such as Greek games, tug-of-war, and Penny Wars to promote unity within the Greek community. Throughout the week, chapters will participate in various activities to earn points to ultimately be named the Greek Week champs!

This year the Greek Week Theme is G.U.T.S (Greeks United Through Service), that’s right the same show that all of us has watched as kids on Nickelodeon is back with a new attitude!

Greek Week Raises More than Ever!

The 2008 Greek Week was April 7th through April 11th. This week included many games and activities which promoted Greek Unity as well as friendly competition. The week’s events included the opening ceremonies, penny wars, the banner competition, the treasure hunt, the academic decathlon, and the Greek Olympics. The Greeks rose over $4,000.00 from the Penny Wars as well as raised over 7,000 articles of clothing. Many thanks to the Greek Council, and especially the Social Chairman Alina Tawil and Greek Council President Andrew Ibrahim, for putting together the events and activities that all the Greeks participated in.
