Greeks Peaked In Spring Greek activities arouse the two fa- miliar symptoms of Spring Fe- ver. All of the Greeks enjoy a week of excitement, competition, and spirit during Greek Week. Sigma Chi sponsors Derby Week, and Kappa Alpha sponsors Old South. The purpose of Greek Week is not only to have fun but to promote Greek enthusiasm. Joey Goodrow of KA said, This year there was more Greek unity we were all rooting for one another. The games were played at the rate of two games per day, and covered nearly every sport, from tennis to chariot races. Competitions ended on Friday night with the Greek song. All the Greeks sang together and then shows were performed for competition and entertainment. Sig- ma Chi won the event for the fraternities with their performance of some gospel and country tunes, Delta Zeta won for singing Celebrate Greek Life. Also on this night Greek God and God- dess were chosen by non-biased judges on the basis of tanned beauty and stately poise. Greek God was Bobby Nash of Sigma Pi Episilon and Goddess was Lynn McBride sponsored by Sigma Chi. Choices of Greek man and woman were also announced. This competition required the participants to write an es- say on What it means to be Greek and present themselves in an interview with three qualified judges. Greek man was Don Sullivan of Delta Tau Delta, and Greek woman was Becky Howard of Al- pha Delta Pi. The week finally concluded with a big party for everyone at the Electric Kanga- roo catered by Snooky ' s. At this time, the overall winners for the week were an- nounced: First place went to Sigman Chi and ADPi and second place went to KA and Phi Mu. Because of a new school policy about grade point average, Derby Week be- came Derby Weekend. This change gave every sorority a chance to participate. The Sigma Chi brothers were random- ly selected to serve as coaches to the different sisterhoods. The ladies were told to treat the guys just as another member. This gave the brother more in- teraction and a chance to know the girls better. The activities began on Friday with the Dick Green Heart Fund Drive. The girls and the brothers of Sigma Chi raised over $750.00 and then the festivities began. Sorority unity skits were performed, in which the girls were supportive of one another, on Friday night. After the skits were over, the two beauty contest win- ners were chosen. Miss Daring Debut was Beverly Plunkett of ADPi, and Miss Derby Day was Angie Keene of ZTA. Following a detailed point system, each group of girls joined in the Derby Games. A pretty even distribution of winners through the Games created an air of fun competition, stated John R. Darley, Derby Chariman. ADPi was the happy group to finally find the Golden Derby. The dance contest Saturday night at the Electric Kangaroo was the final com- petition. At midnight Chi Omega received the spirit award and ADPi was announced as Derby Champion. In conclusion, John Darley added, We have made a great effort to restore some of the purpose and goal of Derby Days that has been lost through the com- petitive nature of the events. I Believe that in 1985 the fun, tradition, and the spirit of Derby Days returned. Kappa Alpha holds very dear their Southern heritage, and one example of their Southern Pride is exemplified in the annual Old South week of festivities. For one week KA sponsored different types of parties and activities, each with a theme relating to life before the Civil War. The two biggest parties were the White Trash party which Charles Bryner described as the wildest , and Beach Weekend in Jacksonville, where Old South Ball was held. The men donned their authentic Con- federate uniforms and the ladies dressed in old fashioned hoop skirts in hopes of being choses KA Rose. The cherished title was given to Amy Pumphrey who was selected by popular vote. DANIELS, BETH Macon, GA DANIELS, KEN Swainsboro, GA DANNER.
