Greek Week returns to Wright State University’s Dayton Campus April 7–11, ending a five-year absence that began with COVID-19 restrictions in 2020.
“One of my big goals was to bring this on,” said Isabel Wickline, president of the Fraternity and Sorority Council and a senior nursing major from Xenia who graduates in May.
The annual tradition features fraternity and sorority members participating in various activities that combine fun with charitable fundraising. The event was last held in 2019, with post-pandemic challenges preventing its revival until this spring.
Wickline credits the successful return to assistance from Anna Jones, a Wright State staff member who participated in the 2019 Greek Week as a student.
“I remember Greek Week as a core tradition that brought out the best in our community,” said Anna Jones, a 2022 graduate who is assistant director for fraternity and sorority life in the Division of Student Affairs. “It was an exciting, unifying experience that strengthened our organizations and celebrated our shared values. Over the past few years there have been attempts to revive it, but this is the first semester it has truly made its return.”
There are 13 active fraternities and sororities with 247 students involved in the Greek community at Wright State.
“All 13 organizations are invited to participate in Greek Week, with each team contributing a few members to compete in events,” Jones said. “Beyond the competitors, we anticipate strong attendance and engagement from the broader community, with the Lip-Sync Battle Competition expected to draw the largest crowd.”
