uring Greek Week, members of the sororities and fraternities come together for competitions and bonding experi-
ences. “Greek Week builds Greek unity and allows everyone to learn more about the other chapters we wouldn’t know otherwise. It brings together Panhellenic, Inter-fraternity Council and Multicultural Greek Council with the intent of working toward one common goal,” Rachel Morgan environmental science and Gamma Phi Beta senior said.
VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT
“I played in the dodgeball tournament last
year, and I wasn’t the best, but it was a lot of fun. This year it’s volleyball and I’m excited because that’s more up my alley,” Camille Blanton, special education and Alpha Phi sophomore said.
GREEK STUDY NIGHT
“This isn’t the most exciting event during Greek Week, but it’s a reminder of why we’re all here. It’s also nice that we all get together and show other students that even Greeks care about grades,” Braxton Allen, kinesiology and Tau Kappa Epsilon senior said.
FOOD-EATING CONTEST “Last year the eating competition was so exciting but my mouth was burning from the
jalapeños, it would be so hard to do it again,” Destiny Hurd, special education and Gamma Phi Beta sophomore, said.
GREEK SYNC AND PAGEANT “My favorite part was being able to perform in front of everyone and make them laugh. I’m excited to see all the new faces in the Greek community come together and put on a show,” Victor Venegas, political science and Sigma Nu sophomore, said.
GREEK OLYMPICS “My favorite part about Greek Olympics last year was my team because we won, and I thought it was probably the best bonding
experience in Greek Week, there’s nothing like competing, sweating and winning to bring a group together,” Trevor Snyder, mechanical and petroleum engineer and Kappa Alpha junior, said.
GREEK AWARDS CEREMONY MaClay Wilson, President of Chi Omega and marketing junior said, “I’m most excited to witness all of the Greeks come together to have a full week of fun. It’s very rare that you see so many different organizations come together to support one another, but that’s exactly what Greek Week is. I can’t wait to get involved,” Wilson said.
