GREEK WEEK The Iowa State Greek Week event occurs over the course of a week in the end of March. Greek Week is a celebration of the Sorority and fraternity community and it’s values. In addition, Iowa State Greek Week raises money for Special Olympics Iowa, and is their largest source of fundraising each year. Like Homecoming, Greek Week Consists of many different events which contribute to the overall Greek week competition. These events include community service activities, the Polar Plunge, tournaments, Olympics, the banner competition, and the annual Lip Sync Competition.
LIP SYNC Lip Sync is one of the most popular events that occurs during Greek Week. Teams write, choreograph, and perform an original skit about the Sorority and fraternity community and it’s values. All dialogue and music is contained within a backing track, which performers lip sync to. Performances occur on the Saturday night of Greek Week at C.Y. Stephens Auditorium, and is one of the highlights of the year for many students.
POLAR PLUNGE One of the largest and most significant goals of Iowa State’s Greek Week is fundraising and promoting for Special Olympics Iowa. The largest source of fundraising is the “Polar Plunge”, where members of the Sorority and fraternity community raise money to jump into freezing water in order to promote fundraising for Special Olympics.
