GREEK WEEK!
In lieu of Greek Week either beginning or quickly approaching for many Greek communities,
it's time to let you in on why this week is so great!
Greek Week is a week-long celebration for all of the social sororities and fraternities on campus. While to an outsider it may look as if it is only about a series of themed parties and social activities, it is so much more than that.
It means making Greek Week the best seven days of your life. It's showing up an hour early for every recreational event so that you can perfect your volleyball or dodge-ball skills. It's 150+ girls on the sidelines cheering so loudly that they can hardly speak the next day, but doing it all again anyway. It's getting up at 7 a.m. to practice for Airband and loving it!
Greek Week is planned and organized by both the IFC and Panhel executive boards at each University. Some of the activities during this week include Greek Idol, Greek God and Goddess, and a Can Castle Competition. Greek Week provides sororities and fraternities with the ability to express their Greek pride and strengthen friendships at the same time.
I'm unclear about the underlined words. Are there supposed to be links?
ReplyDeleteI have questions too...is Greek Week the same week everywhere? When did the tradition start and why? Perhaps linking to it's history would help. But always remember that your readers might not know anything about it.
No, the underlined words were not meant to be links but rather key words that I felt were important. You will notice if you look at some of my earlier posts that links within text are typically bolded as well as a red color. I apologize for the confusion!
DeleteGreat questions.. I do not believe that Greek Week is held the same time everywhere due to different academic calendars. Therefore, I also believe that the history varies slightly from University to University. But ultimately everywhere the tradition began as a celebration of the traditions, hard work and philanthropy that organizations of the Greek System participate in throughout the year.
