Greek Week 2024 has wrapped up its festivities and students are raving about the amounts of fun and competition that they endured. Greek Week 2024 was hosted by the Greek Programming Board (GPB). GPB is composed of students from across the 27 different Greek Organizations. The week stretched over the course of 11 days from April 12-22. The theme for Greek Week 2024 was Hunger Games. 

Fraternities and Sororities were grouped together to form 8 different teams. The teams represented some of the different trades from the districts of the franchise such as fishing, livestock, coal mining, etc. The events ranged from attending school events, games and contests. 

“The theme was decided via a poll that was sent out to the FSL (Fraternity Sorority Life) community,” said GPB President Eric Walters. “There were multiple themes students could vote for and Hunger Games was overwhelmingly the favorite.”

Greek Week began on April 12 with The Big Event. The Big Event is a community service event put on by the university. The event was open to all UWG Students. For Greek Week, teams were given points based on how many team members showed up. Some of the other events throughout Greek Week were less focused on competition and more on attending UWG events. Events included a cookout on Wednesday and the UWG spring football game on Saturday.
