Greek Week Activities

[GreekGirl604]

Well I guess it's probably too late to post this now, but oh well....

I was Greek Week Chair this year, so if anyone wants to know about the events we had and whatnot, feel free to PM or e-mail me.

It's mostly sports and each house is paired up with another. Some of the smaller houses are paired up with more than one other house to make the teams more even. There are some events which are individual events (such as the lip sync competition and Mr./Miss Greek Week) but most of the sports are team events. Points are determined on how many people participate. For example, kickball is 12 people per team, and that gets more points than the 3 legged race (2 people per team, obviously).

One of the coolest things we did this year was a water event day. We had a cannonball competition ("biggest splash"), a raft building competition/race (could only be made out of certain materials...ours was made out of plastic garbage cans, among other things), and a clothing swim relay (put on a dress, button it up, swim, and switch it to the next person...funny seeing the boys in the dresses..hee hee)

here's a list of the events, for those of you who are interested:

There is also a t shirt contest and a canned food drive. each team designs their own shirt and they get judged for points. The teams bring their canned goods to the office at noon on friday and points are awarded for the teams who collect the most. Also, we have some events at night (the big ones) and admission is charged. The money is donated to a charity at the end of the week.



and on a side note...WE WON AGAIN!!! (4th year in a row!!!)
