The events and activities are aimed at bringing the different sororities and fraternities together and improving relations between them. According to Ray Eaton, Leawood senior, and member of Pi Kappa Alpha, i think it’s great that all the Greeks can put their ditferences aside and participate in all the activities of Greek Week, and just have a great time. Participation in Greek Week was good; about 85 percent of all the Greek members at PSU attended, said Natalie Fogle and Carl Gregerson, the chairpersons of the Greek Week Committee. Greek Week is put on annually. In previous years Greek Week was held in the spring, but the commit- tee decided to have it in the fall this year so the new pledges could get involved with their organizations. The week starred off with an assassination game. The players used water guns and tried to assassinate their assigned oppo- nent. The following day the bed races took place. Each organiza- tion built a bed on wheels which members raced across a finish line. The next day the air band and Greek God and Goddess contests took place. Each frater- nity and sorority had members create an air band and perform in front of other Greek members. The winners of the air band contest were the men of Sigma Tau Gamma, with second place going to the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. Each fraternity and sorority nominated a member for Greek God or Goddess. A committee of prominent people from Pittsburg were chosen to select the Greek God and Goddess. The title of Greek Goddess went to Dana Brown, Wichita junior, and member of Sigma Sigma Sigma. The Greek God title was awarded to Richard Martin, Andale senior, and member of Sigma Tau Gamma. The final days events were the Greek Games. All kinds of games were played, including a tricycle race and a five-legged race. The overall winners of the Greek Week competition were the members of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority. On the last day of Greek Week a picnic, catered by the Mall Deli, was held. Greek Week was fun for all involved, as well as for those spectators who attended. Mary Kemp, Holbrook, NY sophomore, and member of Alpha Sigma Alpha summed up Greek Week by commenting, “Greek Week is a lot of fun, I like it because it is one of the few times each year that all the Greeks participate together.
