Greek Week is a time for all Northwest sororities and fraternities to get together and commemorate their values. This is the first time since 2017 that Greek Week has been celebrated at Northwest, this break was due to a lack of interest in the week from members and COVID.
The last week of March was dedicated to events and fundraising that brought the groups together. Everything they did throughout the week represented different values that Greek organizations have, like civic engagement, scholarship, accountability, community and leadership.
Greek Life Coordinator Annie Punt graduated from Northwest in 2022 and is an alumna of Alpha Sigma Alpha – Phi Phi chapter. Greek Week is something celebrated on many college campuses during the springtime since they have so much going on during the beginning of the year. She said the week’s whole purpose is to return to the roots of Greek life.
“It’s a way to make our values fun,” Punt said. “So that they’re still remembering the reason why they are in Greek life and then having fun while doing it.”
Northwest has six sororities and 10 fraternities. Punt asked two members from each chapter to get together and plan out Greek Week. They started planning in January — Punt said she was surprised to see how much work they put into planning these events and how engaged they were in making it memorable.
