For freshmen, it was the first big social event at WPI. It was an experience for many who had never seen any Greek letters except fo r delta and sigma in their high school physics and calculus classes. Greek Weekend was an introduction to a very im¬ portant aspect of student life at WPI - Greek life. Emphasis was not placed on which particular fra¬ ternity or sorority to join, but more importantly on going Greek! Another purpose of the weekend was to en¬ courage Greek unity on campus. With added pres¬ sures from the Hill , changes were implemented. Rush was not only shortened, but it was also dry this year. Although there was some apprehension about these and other changes, this year ' s rush was one of the most successful, thanks to well planned activities such as Greek Weekend.
