I'm not too terribly fond of Greek Week because it's almost exclusively athletic and thus biased toward the houses that recruit athletes just so they can win Greek Week. (Sorry that sounds kind of grumpy). Our Panhel and IFC are really working to improve it, though, which is a good thing. It'd be really nice if we got points for winning the Scholarship Cup (awarded usually right before Greek Week) or things like that.
Our Greek Week:
Monday:
- Jump rope: must get 10 girls from your house into a jump rope and whichever house jumps the most times wins; counting starts when the 10th girl is in.
- All-house sing: each house does a sort of low-key mock rock, changing the lyrics to a song. It's only based on participation (have a certain percentage present/participating), so there's no "winner" and usually everyone gets equal points.
Tuesday:
- Bowling
Wednesday:
- Euchre tournament: houses get points for winning teams at table; teams are ramdom and rotate after each round.
Thursday:
- Soccer
- Swimming: medley relay and a kickboard and sweatshirt relay
Friday:
- Volleyball
- Chariot race (new this year): each fraternity constructs a chariot which must make three laps down a soccer field and back. They are paired with a sorority, from which three girls (one for each lap) ride in the chariot. They chariot is pulled by 6 different guys from that house, 2 for each lap.
Saturday:
- "Super Saturday": a field day with three-legged, sack, and wheelbarrow races, football and egg toss, limbo, tug of war, etc.
Those are really just the girls events. We don't really get too involved in guys Greek Week, although our new Greek advisors are working with Panhel and IFC to get us to do more GW stuff together.
Fun fact, the chapter of Chi Omega here just won their 23rd straight Greek Week.
I'm glad for them, because even though I'd love my house to win, it's tradition for them, and a big thing in their chapter.
