first place
Originally uploaded by lclarius.

All week the sororities were neck and neck with the Delta Gamma, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Phi and Sigma Kappa rotating through the top three. For the first time since I have been in school no one sorority dominated all the events. In the end the sorority that won never actually recieved first place in anything but one of the weight classes for sumo wrestling. This year Alpha Sigma Alpha and Kappa Alpha recieved first place for greek week. And as a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha and a graduating senior I am beyond excited :).
On a more sad note, we could not wait to dominate Greek Games Day as we usually do but do to the heavy rain and other circumstances Greek Games Day was cancelled.

sumo time

Greek Week kicked off last night with a new event summo wrestling to replace the ever popular Looking Fit which was removed from the greek week agenda because it promoted "unhealthy behavior" among participants. As much as I am going to miss looking fit summo wrestling was extremely entertaining to watch. What could be better than watching people in a huge fat suit, I cant think of anything.Either way because there was three seperate weight classes for girls and guys no particular chapter had any real advantage.

Greek Week- Whose with whose

2005-04-20T00:04:00.000-04:00

For those of you that do not know Greek Week is coming up next week starting on Monday. And for those that are not affliated and dont know what greek week is, it is pretty much fraternities and sororities going head to head in volleyball, sumowrestling, a pagent type event, dodgeball, charity races, airband and much more. This is week is pretty much what every greek member looks forward and gives the winning chapters bragging rights for the rest fo the semester.
Each sorority pairs off with a different fraternity for the week. And this year after Sig Ep swooned Chi Omega and now that Alpha Tau Omega is no longer recognized by the university alot of the usual pairings got thrown off. So in case you were wondering heres who is with who
-Alpha Phi - Pi Kappa Alpha
-Phi Sigma Sigma - Sigma Alpha Mu
-Sigma Kappa - Kappa Alpha
-Chi Omega - Sigma Phi Epsilon
-Alpha Xi Delta - Sigma Chi
-Alpha Sigma Alpha - Theta Chi
-Kappa Alpha Theta - Kappa Sigma
-Alpha Episilon Phi - Sigma Alpha Epsilon
-Delta Gamma - Phi Sigma Kappa and Lamda Chi Alpha

When I know the times to all of the events for next week, they will get posted, until then good luck.

Airband starts again

2005-03-14T12:25:00.000-05:00

For those of you that were not out at midnight last night you missed the fun of airband sign ups. Every year each greek organization sits out side trabant on the midnight before the sign up starts to get first grabs on the theme they want. So at 11:59 a made dash which included shoving and yelling insued. The final line up started with Kappa Alpha Theta, Phi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Delta Gamma, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and thats all I could see cause I was toward the beginning. So each chapter sat bundled in blankets and sleeping bags from midnight till about 7am at which the sign up began. Ahh and so the fun of greek week begins. In a following post I will list whos paired off with who, but right now its too soon to tell.

Fraternity recruitment

2005-03-05T19:29:00.000-05:00

Fraternity Recruitment ended this Friday with many of the fraternities seeing the same high turnout as the girls recruitment. Most fraternities are using this weekend to ring in the new boys by throwing bid parties, so keep an eye out for a lot of parties this weekend.

Sorority Recruitment is Finally Over

2005-02-22T23:20:00.000-05:00

After 2 long weekends and month of preparation sorority recruitment finally over. With only 2 chapters not making quota, many chapters are very happy with the new rush release amendment just adapted this year which requires the larger sororities to drop more girls earlier rather than later. And with recruitment numbers higher than they have been in three years quota (the most amount of new members a sorority can take) was 37.
And now that the girls recruitment is over it is time for the boys to start, so more information will be coming next week when their recruitment is done.
