For Greek life, Greek Week is a celebration of community, philanthropy – and of course, a dash of friendly competition. Starting on Sunday, April 6, Greek Week began with tug of war, water balloon toss and kickball. These games, alongside other events throughout the week, are designed to assign various amounts of points to each chapter based on their performance, with the winning fraternity and sorority being announced at Greek Sing on the evening of Thursday, April 10. At the end of Greek Sing, the winners were announced as Delta Tau Delta (DTD) and Phi Sigma Sigma.
When asked about his most memorable experience from Greek Week, President of DTD Mason Tompkins ‘26 reflected, “This question is challenging; DTD has not won [Greek Week] in so long that every step we took towards our victory was memorable. However, Wednesday’s events definitely stand out as a highlight of the week. Before Wednesday’s events, [Alpha Tau Omega] and DTD were neck and neck for the lead, and we ended up playing them first round in cornhole, and the game came down to one bag in the hole from Jackson ‘Chapel Jacks’ Smith, and the delts went absolutely hog WILD. Following that, we took that energy to go support our guys playing in the spikeball tournament, in which we secured the win again.”
Peter Schumann ‘27 served as Alpha Epsilon Pi’s (AEPi) Greek Week Chair, a position whose responsibilities include keeping the chapter informed on the daily schedule and which members were participating in what event. He shared, “I also took the lead on organizing our chapter’s Greek Sing performance, which turned out to be a true highlight. The entire week was a celebration, not just of AEPi, but of the spirit of Greek life as a whole. It was a time to showcase our pride, our brotherhood and our commitment to collaboration, both within our chapter and across the wider Greek community. Greek Week is more than a series of events, it’s a testament to the independent bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood that run through our organizations. Everyone had an incredible time, and none of it would’ve been possible without the unwavering support of our brothers, who continue to uplift and encourage one another in everything we do. Greek Week is just one week out of the year, but it’s a powerful reminder of the strength, unity and joy that define who we are.”
