I 1 IIII Glory, Glory To Old Georgia . . , There are five seasons of the year in Athens, Georgia: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall and Football Season. Unlike the others. Football Season can not be recognized by a change in climate or in foliage, however it can be detected by the electricity and enthusiasm among the student body.

Each group has its own projects and individuality yet it works 6US a system; working together to make college life a little more personal and giving its members an opportunity to do something for a purpose through its philanthropic projects. There are a variety of aspects to the Greek System which make it enjoyable to those who are a part of it.
