The Greek-Olympics, the first such event held on the campus, lacked the participation of all the sororities and so- cial fellowship. However, for the three who competed for the ribbons, it was fun. Competition was held in four events: Bicycle Race, Basketball Throw, Egg Race, and Touch Football. Judges included volunteers from the faculty and staff. The activity was held to help in the celebration of the college founding. The participants included Delta Sigma The- ta Sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, and S.O.B.O.S.S. The winners of three events were the members of S.O.B.O.S.S. The Zetas won the Egg Race. Greek Olympics Breaks Routine 20
