Greek Week:
A week designated to the fraternities and sororities on campus.  This week comprises of various competitions such as a rock wall climb, Jello wrestling and Greek God and Goddess.  Each one of these activities has a point value, and the more a house does, the more points they get.  Beta Theta Pi took second place last year.
