This is the only week during the entire school year that invites all Greeks in one, big social event and everyone is excited for it,” Amy Johnson, AC Panhel President “Also, I hope that this week will further strengthen the relationship between the IFC and Panhel executive boards, so that we can continue to create more all Greek events for next school year.”
Alexander Gettys, Dave Naperialski, and Delaney Andrews organized this year’s Greek Week. Approximately 200 Greek members participated in Greek Week.
“We have been meeting for several hours each week to finalize the details for Greek Week. We picked the schedule in February, so since then it’s been a matter of calling businesses, ordering supplies, and reserving venues,” said junior Delaney Andrews, who is a member of Alpha Phi.
Capture the Flag kicked off on Monday at noon. Each chapter was required to hide their flag somewhere on the main AC campus. Flags needed to be stationary with a small portion showing. Flags could be found by all Greek chapters. The more flags that a chapter found, the more points they received. If a chapter’s flag was found they lost points. Monday night consisted of the Olympic Games. The sororities played each other in dodge ball followed by the fraternities playing kickball. Points were awarded to the overall winner of each event. Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) won the fraternity kickball with Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) taking second. Chi Omega took first in dodge ball and Delta Nu Kappa (DNK) took second.

Points were awarded to the first five chapters to finish. First place went to SAE followed by Theta Chi, Phi Kappa Sigma (PKS), DNK and Chi Omega.
