Greek Week 2012: Tuesday Recap

Tuesday was Lifelong Brotherhood/Sisterhood day and we celebrated with The 5 Pillar Challenge and Field Games!

Field events included: Tug-a-War, Bubble Blow, Three Legged Race, Relay Race/Dizzy Bat, Sponge Bucket Relay and Corn Hole.

Despite the bubble gums refusal to blow bubbles all events went off really well.  And even though the temperature was in the low 40's the sponge bucket relay proved to be an exciting event.

The 5 Pillar Challenge was a new addition this year.  Each chapter was asked to send four representatives at an assigned meeting time to answer a question.  The question was a two parter: What are the 5 Pillars of Excellence and how does your chapter exhibit these values, provide examples?

This year's Greek Week theme is the 5 Pillars of Excellence.  Each day's events represent one value.  The Inter-Greek Council hopes these events highlight what our community is all about...leadership, brotherhood/sisterhood, social interaction,  scholarship and community service/philanthropy.

Today's theme is Social Interaction and our event is a softball tournament versus USI Greek Life.  There will be 3 games playing simultaneously tonight (3 fraternity games and 1 sorority game).  We'll also be cooking out throughout the games.  There will be hamburgers, hotdogs and veggie options!  So be sure to come out and support your brothers and sisters playing in the games, have some dinner, and maybe even meet some new friends!  Points will be awarded for attendance and player participation.

USI is providing transportation from their main campus to the Sofball fields.   Buses will run from the PAC to the fields from 6:00pm to 7:00pm and then 30 minutes after the games have ended. Parking on USI's campus does not require a parking pass. When you pull onto the main boulevard on campus, drive straight through the round-about and park in lot A, B or C on the left.  USI council representatives will be around, in their Greek Week Shirt to help people find the bus etc.

If your students decide to leave before the end of the games, you can walk back to campus along a bike path.  However the path is not well lite and its about 1 mile.  So we ask that you go with a small group.

Finally, USI is a smoke-free campus, this includes their outdoor fields.  Please do not smoke at the games.
