The campus community and returning alumni will kick off Greek Week by posing for an “all-Greek” photo Monday, May 26 at 12:50 p.m. at the Nott Memorial. Members of all Greek organizations are invited to adorn their letters and show their Greek pride.

Greek Week, which runs through May 30, is a celebration of fraternity and sorority accomplishments featuring philanthropic events and social activities. This year’s theme is “Greeks Going Green,” with chapter members focusing on producing less waste and powering down their houses to conserve energy.

Activities will include a barbecue and clothing drive, and common hour performances by the Dutch Pipers.

A new tradition, the first Greek Awards Ceremony to acknowledge the chapters’ heritages and successes, will be held Tuesday, May 27 at 5 p.m. in Memorial Chapel. Among the awards to be presented are Fraternity and Sorority Chapters of the Year, Greek Scholars Awards, a Community Service Award and an Alumni Recognition Award.

Following the ceremony, faculty, staff and administrators are invited to a reception at Breazzano House hosted by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and the Greek Week Committee.
