“C’mon, Greeks. Fire up!”” Greek Week, September 15-22, gave in- dependents and new students a chance to see how the Greek half of BSU lives. Friday, Sept. 15 Sigma Sigma Sigma started the week with their annual fish fry, held at the football sta- dium. The Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities set up tables and assisted in heavier chores. Due to a mix-up in plans, Sigma Chi did not co- sponsor the event, as in the past. Sunday, Sept. 17 Displays were set up on the Arts Terrace by the different fraternities and sororities. Composites, symbols, and emblems glared in the sunlight as members voiced opportuni- ties and activities to visitors. Monday, Sept. 18 Kappa Alpha Theta joined in the festiv- ities with their All Greek Serenade. The Theta’s serenaded sorority suites, held their chapter meeting, and then, joined by other sororities, serenaded the fraternities. Tuesday, Sept. 19 All sorority suites opened to the public, giving outsiders an inside look at Greek life. Sigma Phi Epsilon sponsored a lawn dance from 9-11, featuring ‘“The Chosen Few” and “Hitchcock.” The area was crowded and confining, but the bands were good. Wednesday, Sept. 20 Phi Delta Theta showed a Marx Brothers film, ‘‘Monkey Business,”’ on the Arts Ter- race. Thursday, Sept. 21 Greek spirit boomed even more as all brothers and sisters fired up in their Greek T-shirts. Sorority suites and fraternity houses again opened to the public.
