his year's Greek Week was an ex- tremely suc- cessful one. Much money was raised for Cerebral Palsy, while at the same time providing entertainment and fun for the Greeks and the non-Greeks alike. We had many new events in which the tumout was fantastic. For the lirst time, two sororities got to- gether with Panhellenic and IFC and hosted the Emory Adonis Contest. The money raised was split three ways -- one-third went to AEO's phi- lanthropy, and one-third went to Tri Delta's philanthropy, and one-third went to Cerebral Palsy. Also new this year was the competition for Dean's Cup points which was kicked off with a dinner at the Sigma Hu house. Points were given to sororities and fratemi- ties for their activities, excluding so- cial and sports events. Furthermore, most fratemities and some sororities A - A l' '-,Q -f - .T v, v, ,Y -5. . ,.-W,,,-! ,,-Ms,-J V.7...., 1 f- ' ,, , 1 J ,Nfl W' Cf..- CJ- -Cf .4 ---,,-AK.g ....i.,',.-- participated in the Greek Week pa- rade by driving and riding on floats around campus. On Tuesday night an all Greek chapter was held with a guest speaker, Chuck Dowdle. There were also old events that were im- proved. This years' camival was the biggest, with professional booths headed by Greeks. Some of the booths included a dunking booth, a ring toss, and cotton candy and candy apples. The traditional events includ- ed a crest drawing in front of Cox Hall and a Blood Drive. Without the work- ing together of Panhellenic and lFC, and without the help of Greek Life's new Director and Coordinator, Martha Wisley and Scott Nathanson, Greek Week could not have been as suc- cessful as it was this year.
