GREEK WEEK FALL 2009

LOGAN, UTAH—Greek Week is coming to Utah State University in November. Greek Week is a week of service, fun, and entertainment focused on the Greek community and organized by the activities chair of Greek Council. This year, Sarah Korich is the activities chair and is planning a fantastic Greek Week. “This year we want to focus on reaching out to the whole campus,” says Sarah. In the past, Greek Week has been solely focused on fun and games for the Greek community. It was a recognition week and a time for the group to grow closer outside of their individual chapters. However, the Greeks have decided their new goal is to reach out to the campus and community. Their new focus is Greeks celebrating Greeks and showing the campus what they’re all about.

The week will last Monday through Thursday with each day having a specific activity to be involved in. There will be a day of service where everyone will participate in a service project or help raise money for a philanthropy. The service group has yet to be decided, but some ideas are working with Stuff-A-Bus through the campus service center or St. Jude’s Hospital. Last semester the Greeks raised money for Relay for Life and raised around $2,000. There will also be a lip-sinc contest and performance where each house is grouped into two teams and they compete for a prize. There is also a tentative schedule for a motivational speaker to come present to the campus and Greek community.

Greek Week is planned and implemented by the Greek Council activities chairman along with his/her committee, executive Greek Council, and the Greek advisors. The committee is a mixture of voluntary Greek members representing each house on campus. The executive members of Greek Council are elected members that serve a year term for each position.

Greek Week will provide a fun atmosphere not only for the Greek community, but also for USU students. Everyone is invited to attend the activities each day and participate at their desired level. For more information about Greek Week contact the Greek Council Activities Chair, Sarah Korich.
