Greek Week Drawing to a Close

Today marks second-to-last day of Greek Week, an annual group of events that brings together the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Panhellenic Association and the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) for healthy competition. And what exactly is at stake? Only bragging rights.

The theme this year is Superheroes, resulting in the separation of the Greek organizations into groups such as the Fantastic Four, Team Watchmen, and Team Superman. A Dress Like Your Comic Book Hero party was held Friday night at the Marvin Center, but it was so ill-attended that the proposed three-hour event was essentially over after just one hour. Other events have included a guest speaker on "College Etiquette" on Thursday, and one on "The Opposite Sex" on Sunday. One of the more active events were Saturday's Project PB&J and Cereal Drive, where teams raced to make the most peanut butter & jelly sandwiches in a half hour and collect cereal boxes to donate to those in need. A Field Day and barbecue was the main event Sunday.

Tonight's event is Date Auction night, where members of the Greek organizations bet on a select few of their own for arranged dates in order to raise money for charity.

The final event to be held tomorrow night is Skit Night, where all of the groups get on stage at Lisner and perform their best. The winning team of Greek Week will be announced immediately following.
