Greek Week 2004 has ended with Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu finishing as champions.
"Greek Week was a great success," Panhellenic President Sandy Wolbert said. "We had such an amazing turnout -- even with non-Greeks."
There were more events this year than in years past, Interfraternity Council President John Dougherty. New focuses included a philanthropy collection, a canned goods drive and a fund-raiser for the Nicholas Pipino Memorial Scholarship Foundation. Over 3,700 pounds of clothes were donated to the Salvation Army of Manayunk, 2,700 pounds of canned goods were given to the Greater Philadelphia Food Bank and the scholarship foundation received $3,800.
"It was great to see such good causes benefit from our week of competition," Dougherty said. "We also held two large events open to the campus to participate in - sex awareness speaker and the Greek Week Carnival."
Over 300 students, both Greek and non-Greek, turned out to hear Elaine Pasqua's presentation on sex and excess, said Wolbert, who is a member of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority.
There were at least two events every day, and sometimes three, which gave the co-op students a chance to participate as well, she said.
"One of the biggest highlights was the talent show. This was the first year we had a talent show in approximately 10 years, and the response was incredible," Wolbert said. "Students are still talking about the event, and we already know it is a must-have for next year."
"I feel Greek Week was a huge success. We tried a couple new ideas, most of which worked out for the better," IFC Greek Week Chair John Freitas told The Triangle.
In addition to the carnival on Buckley Field and the philanthropy collection, new events included water relays in the Daskalakis Athletic Center pool, a philanthropy auction and penny wars, an event that collected money for charity.
The Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee and Commissions for Activities and Programs made a big difference.
