Pushing and pulling, climbing to the top, and stretching towards the finish line - the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat strained the atmosphere at the Greek Games during Greek Week, another springtime frolic. Fraternities and sororities competed for points towards trophies in tug-of-war, a human pyramid and a three- legged race, among others. A more subdued evening Sunday brought the Greeks together at a Rogers and Hammerstein songfest. Strains of Oh What a Beautiful Morn- ing, Getting to Know You and You'll Never Walk Alone wafted from the Kiva that night. Not-so-melodic whistling, booing and cries of that's a guy accompanied the Greek Goddess Contest held at the Krazy Horse Lounge. Frater- nity men adorned their macho bodies with eve- ning gowns, bathing suits and tutus to compete for the title of Miss Greek Goddess. The pageant was followed by a beer-chugging contest, where large quantities of the brew magically dis- appeared before the eyes of the audience. The King of Beers now refers, not to Budweiser, but to the members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Sigma Kappa, who won the fraternity division of the contest. The diversity of beer cans was demonstrated by the recycling of Miller cans to decorate the win- ning float of the parade held Friday before the games began, We're Still the One was the theme of the float, designed by Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Chi Omega Sorority. Altogether, one got the impression that being a Greek can be a hell of a lot of fun. 20
