Greek row kicked off its annual Halloween festivities in full this past weekend for the LSU community. The festivities were in full effect this past weekend.
LSU Greek Life hosted its annual Trick or Treat Down the Row on Oct. 27, always held the Sunday before Halloween. The event took place at W. Lakeshore Drive, also known as Sorority Row. From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., families gathered on Greek Row to partake in candy collecting from chapter members and spooky games.
The event began at Lod Cook Alumni Center and stretched down the entire street. Attendees were able to visit sororities, fraternities and even select LSU athletic teams for candy and information about each organization. Members of the Panhellenic Executive Board, notably dressed as characters from “Despicable Me”, handed out maps of the row and directed families visiting to the correct location for the event.
“It’s just so fun seeing all the kids and the adults in the Baton Rouge community come together to meet up with LSU Greek Life,” Taylor Davlin, PHC director of philanthropy said. “It just really shows the big impact the LSU Greek community can have, not just on LSU’s campus, but on the greater community.”
The afternoon heat didn’t frighten the crowds. Families who attended the event were excited to show off their costumes and meet LSU students. Candy wasn’t the only thing being handed out down the row. Some chapters handed out books, small toys and flyers to raise awareness about their philanthropy.
