Events and Programs

Greek Week

Greek Week is a week-long fundraising event for a local charity or national philanthropy. Fraternities and sororities form teams and compete in fundraising activities and games to collect points to “win” the week. Ultimately, the entire community wins, as students raise a significant amount of money for a great cause.

Greek Convocation

Greek Convocation is a leadership retreat at the beginning of the fall semester for chapter executive boards and emerging leaders. It kicks off the excitement of the year and provides time for reflection, team-building activities and experiential learning opportunities to engage students in the continuous development of themselves as leaders.

Educational Modules

All new members are required to complete this module during the semester in which they join their chapter. Created by SafeColleges by Vector Solutions, this module is a comprehensive course designed to break the cycle of hazing in Greek Life. Students learn through peer presenters and powerful testimonials, both from victims and perpetrators, the research-verified truth that hazing is not effective and harms rather than helps organizations. Training also covers how to avoid “groupthink,” and what to do if they are being hazed.

Council Officers’ Retreat and Presidents’ Retreat

The retreats occur every spring semester as new executive boards for chapters and councils are elected. These retreats help student leaders set goals, learn conflict management, problem-solving and collaboration skills, among many others, to prepare them for their year of leadership.

Greeks Clean the Streets

This program is a partnership with the City of Mount Pleasant. Around three to five weekends each semester are identified as target weekends when the city might need some extra cleaning up after large events. Greek members spend their mornings cleaning up litter from the campus and surrounding neighborhoods.
