-E reek Week • 251 Extended Tradition S. I 3 c c o Probably the most exciting part of the week was watching all of the fraternities and sororities come together at Greek Sing, Greek Week Co-Chair Kerry Wells said. It made us feel like all of the hard work was worth it. Much of the hard work and time the Greeks put in during the week was recognized during the awards ceremony at the end of Greek Week. The ceremony allowed all Greeks to come together once again and honor Greek individuals and organizations for their work during the week and the entire year. It was exciting to see who won the awards, Tacia Beane said. This was probably the biggest event of the year, besides Homecoming, to bring so many Greeks together at one time. Greek Week awards were given out based on a point system and were presented in several categories ranging from Overall Greek Week Award to Most Spirited Chapter to Outstanding First Year Participation. When Tri Sigma won Overall Greek Week Award, I thought we really deserved it, Jamie Hatz said. We put Greek Week as one of our top priorities. Each organization handed out individual awards that ranged from outstanding philanthropies to most inspirational organization. The individual organizations voted on the awards and their presidents presented them. The Order of Omega also had a hand in selection of certain awards. The (awards for) outstanding Greek man, woman, sponsor and president were based on applications and interviews, Order of Omega president Matt Kitzi said. The awards for outstanding Greek organization for fraternity and sorority were scored automatically with 35 percent based on academics. Homecoming and intramurals. The other 65 percent were based on applications, but no interviews. Alpha Sigma Alpha was one of the sororities that won many awards during Greek Week. The award for Outstanding Greek Organization was awarded to the Alphas. This was an award they had won in previous years before. Being named outstanding Greek organization was a real honor. Alpha Kelly Baker said. It was something you had to live up to. Inter ' iews, pageants and awards aside. Greek Week was really a chance for Greeks to come together, both to start new traditions, and to relive old ones by extending the event and including more activities.
