mia!! 1 An intense tug-of-war contest is led by Lambda Chi Ross Mark. These Phoenicians worked hard all day long at the ASU annual Greek Games to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. A true Greek leads the Spartan spirit. All the Greeks were grouped together in teams and competed in various events such as the notorious chariot race. Picture Thi . . . wenty-two fraterni- ties and 12 sororities racing Chariots, forc- ing down pizza, and dropping coins in five gallon water bot- tles. Do these sound like the activities of the average college student? They are if these students are trying to raise 510,000 in an annual eight-day event called Greek Week. Greek Week 1987, under the theme 1'Picture This, proved to be the high- light of the Greek year. Planning began seven months earlier to produce this an- nual event and carry it out without a glitch. Cindy Langford, a member of Chi Omega and the 1987 Greek Week co- chairman, said organizing for Greek Week began as school started in the fall. The 13-member Greek Steering Com- mittee held meetings every week to make sure Greek Week was a success. Greek Week began with opening cer- emonies, held at the Mesa Ampitheatre. The morning after the formal kick-off and dance, Greek games began as each house competed for points toward the Outstanding Chapter Award. Houses earned points through participation in events prior to Greek Week, as well as at 324 Picture This . . . the Greek games. The games included the annual chariot race, a five-kilometer run, a pizza eating contest, and Greek Sing held at Gam- mage Auditorium. Greek Sing presented the opportunity for Greeks to sing, dance, and act for the entertainment of an enthusiastic audience. Of the eight Greek games teams, the Spartans QPi Beta Phi, Beta Theta Pi, Tau Kappa Ep- silon, and Sigma Phi Epsilonj went on to become the Greek victors. The purpose of Greek Week was to promote Greek unity and raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an or- ganization that grants wishes to termi- nally ill children. Over 512,000 was raised through various fundraisers, pass- ing the goal set at 510,000 Fundraisers included book and shirt sales, Greek Sing tickets, a coin collection on Cady Mall, and money from local sponsors. Closing ceremonies at Camelback Inn brought Greek Week to a close and honored winning teams, Greek Week planners, and a successful Greek year. - Brad Hartman

These men were a group of diverse individuals, not a group of people built from the same mold. The bonds of friendships formed were based on mutual esteem and dependence on one another. Despite their individuality, these gen- tlemen worked together as a whole group rather than separate people. Eve- ryone in the house participated in phil- anthropic activities such as the cookout to benefit the Phoenix Boys Club. They spent the day playing football with the boys and established bonds of friend- ships with the kids similar to those that existed between the brothers of Theta Delta Chi. Bob Castle A large portion of the philanthropic events were spontaneous ones that ben- efitted the community, but some activ- ities were reserved to help their national philanthropy, the March of Dimes. Being a Theta Delt was not all hard work. They participated in several fun social events such as a Labor Day week- end trip to Rocky Point, a semi-annual two-man volleyball tournament, and the Boxer Rebellion. The volleyball tourna- ment was a competition open to eve- ryone, not just Greeks. The money raised went towards special prizes and tro- phies. By building unity through philanthro- py and social events, these individuals built a special and unique bond known simply as Theta Delta Chi. - Sui-Lin Stacey Chen House chores are part of the rou- tine when living in a fratemity house.
