Week

A TIME OF CELEBRATION

By Clay Houser
GREEK WEEK CHAIR

The weather is getting nice outside, school
is drawing to a close. April is here and full of
wonderful things for HT students to do. But
this week is a very special week for Greek stu—
dents. This week is Greek Week, a time where
we can all gather as a group and celebrate our
livelihood. It is a chance to find time away
from our busy schedules to meet up and enjoy
each other’s company. It is a time to engage in
healthy competition that promotes our sense
of community, as well as a time for individual
Chapters to be proud and show others who
they are. It is like a second homecoming.

Greek Week has been around for over 50

years. In the late 1950s there was a Greek Week
and and an lnterfraternity Council competi—
tion. In the IFC competitions, fraternities com—
peted against each other in a number of events
including football, baseball, and IFC sing.
This is very similar to Greek Football now, but
there was a much larger number of events that
Greeks competed in. Greek Week existed in
a similar manner as it does now. These coin—
cided until the early 1990s when some of the
IFC events merged with Greek Week, making
it what we participate in today.

Today, chapters spend time preparing skits,
banners, and dance routines for Greek Week.

There are events during the lunch break and in
the evening, so that everyone has a chance to
attend. Every Chapter chooses a theme for the
week that represents them in some way. Most
of the themes are meant to be comical, but
some inspire competition as well. The ques—
tion, <<what should our Greek Week theme be
this year?” is asked almost year round.

So, if you see a group of people gathering on
the Quad or FAAR field, come out and join us.
If you have friends that are Greek go on over
and cheer them on. In the end, us celebrating
our community is also a celebration of the HT
community, something that we are all a part of.
