Greek Week 2012 was a great success and the perfect way to celebrate our love and passion for our Greek Community here at UConn. This year’s theme was “The Week Zeus Got Loose” and each of the eight groups were given a mythological God and Goddess to represent their team. The week before the events began, the Greek Week Management Team held Penny Wars at the Student Union, as well as a canned food drive. The week kicked off with an impromptu snow storm that cancelled Greek Games, but picked right back up on Sunday with Can-struction, during which each team constructed a castle out of canned food which was later donated to the Ashford Food Bank. On Monday, the Greek Community united to watch the Greek God and Goddess pageant, and the audience was awed by the contestant’s creative togas, impressive talents, and eloquent representation of their respective chapters during the question and answer portion. Tuesday night the Greek Community was honored to attend Michelle Guobadia’s presentation entitled “Be a Dream Maker: Your Role in Making Fraternity and Sorority Life Great.” Michelle gave a spectacular lecture about her experiences in Greek Life and how each and every member of our Greek Community plays an important role in the development of their chapter. She stressed the idea that our chapters should be better, stronger, and more unified each and every day, and that any problem within our chapter can be solved through ritual. Finally, on Wednesday night the community entered Jorgensen for the final time to watch the Greek Sing competition and closing ceremonies! Each team danced the night away and impressed the judges with their creativity and talent. We are proud to announce the winners of this year’s Greek Week: congratulations to Team 7 for 3rd place, Team 8 for 2nd place, and Team 1 for earning top honors as 1st place winners! -Written by: Kaitlin Latham
