UA Fraternity and Sorority Programs will celebrate Greek Week 2015 with rock ’n’ roll-themed events today until Friday to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “This year’s Greek Week is unique because we have made this an opportunity not only to unify the Greek community but also work toward helping an extraordinary cause,” said Taylor Muzatko, director of the For the Kids executive board at the UA .

Kewin also said the IFC has encouraged all of its chapters to participate so that this can be the largest, most successful Greek Week to date. “I am so excited for Greek Week this upcoming week,” said Cayla Weiss, vice president of Panhellenic for the Alpha Lambda chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi at
