Marshall University’s Greek Life is shifting the focus of this year’s Greek Week to highlight philanthropy, service and friendly competition, with the Interfraternity Council working diligently to ensure fairness, participation and a positive spirit among fraternity chapters.
“The main goal for my council and myself is to highlight Greek Life, our organizations and all the time they’ve dedicated to preparing for the week,” said Sam Richards, the IFC president. “We want to have a positive impact at Marshall and in the Huntington area.”
Greek Week, an annual tradition among fraternities and sororities, will feature events that encourage camaraderie while benefiting the broader community. A major initiative this year is a week-long philanthropy effort as well as a community cleanup event in Huntington.
“Rather than the entire week being built around competition, it will be primarily focused on raising money and community service towards Marshall and Huntington as a whole,” said Tre Hyre, the IFC vice president of programming. “We’re also adding esports for the first time, and we’re excited to work with Marshall’s esports program this year and hopefully more in the future.”
