Must have been a great event T-shirt!!!!

yea lol..its really cute..they do it in october for breast cancer month and everyone collects yoplait lids, zeta hosts a "best chest" contest, and everyone decorates greek village in pink..literally everything is pink!

JennLev · #59 01-05-2008, 02:17 PM

we have mr. and mrs greek every year. I guess its kind of like a beauty pageant or something . But basically the hottest guy and hottest girl win every year and then get honored during Greek week in a parade type thing. Not really that spectacular, but people really do get into it and voting. Usually its not just about looks and the person has to do some type of talent, or I guesss the talent basically helps them.

KD_Lady · #60 01-05-2008, 02:19 PM

I go to a fairly small school (less than 3,000 undergrads), but each of the six sororities and five fraternities take turns putting on a philanthropy week. Each group hosts a campus wide dinner on Monday, some sort of fun event like a beauty pageant, date night, or talent contest on Thursday, and an athletic competition on Saturday.

The trouble is, everyone participates in everyone else's events, which takes up a lot of time. We're actually trying to move away from this.
