Greek Week!!

Hey guys. This past week at my school has been Greek Week. Its an awesome week where the greek community pairs off into teams of 1 social sorority, 2 social fraternities, 1 ethnic fraternity, and 1 academic/service fraternity. We then spend the week competing against each other and raising money and donations for charities. Greek week has an overall theme, which for this year was Disney, and each team gets assigned a theme inside of that, which for us was History. I want to share with you guys some of the awesome fun we had during the week.

   The first event of the week was banner. All the teams had to paint a banner related to their theme to be hung in our main student center.

The next event in Greek Week was Shack-a-thon. Each team had to build a "shack" related to their theme out of cardboard, duck tape, and paint. At least 4 people for each team had to be at the shack for 8 am to 9 pm for 3 days. Each team collected money for Habitat for Humanity for the event.

Next we did a volunteer event where we paired with Full Circle Home to create care packages. Together all the teams also collected over 24,300 cans for Food for Others and over 19,000 toiletries for the Ronald McDonald Foundation.

Next was the Amazing Disney Race, the Disney Field Day, and Aquatics night. The Amazing Disney Race was basically a footrace/trivia game across campus. Field Day was made up of events like three legged race, sack race, and tug of war. Aquatics night was made up of relay races and a synchronized swimming competition.

Lastly, Greek Week concluded with Greek Sing. Greek Sing is a 15 minute performance involving a massive amount of props, singing, intense dance numbers, and really bad acting.
