Guest Author

Chadron State’s Greek life has come alive, bringing a full week of activities to campus.

Monday kicked off with the “Freshman 15” ice cream social under the Clock Tower. “Thrifty Tuesday” brought The Price is Right to the Student Center. Top prizes included a futon, TV, and mini fridge. Seventy-five students

signed in to try their hand at guessing the price of their possible prize. Slip and Flip was the activity for “Wet T-shirt Wednesday.” Students made teams and slid down Math and Science Hill, then had to flip a cup over. The first team to have all their cups flipped won. Tye-dye T-shirts were also handed out to the first 250 students to attend. “Thirsty Thursday” is from 3-5 p.m., today in the Lakota and Ponderosa rooms. “Mocktails” and games are set up for students, as well as an alcohol awareness presentation from Xi Delta Zeta members. The Spring Break dance that was set for Friday has been postponed. A later date has not yet been confirmed.

Omega Phi Rho was founded in 1998, according to interim President Cody Cooper, 21, junior of Gothenburg. They usually are the sole host of Greek Week, but this year their newly revived sister sorority, Xi Delta Zeta, has joined them in the celebration.

“We decided to use college clichés, such as Freshman 15 and Thirsty Thursday, as the themes for Greek Week to catch the freshmen’s interest,” Xi Delta Zeta President Mackenzie Watson, 21, senior of Mitchell, said.

The fraternity and sorority held a meeting together last April to plan this Fall’s Greek Week activities. They then received a $6,000 budget from CAB to host the event. So far, considerable crowds have been showing up to their activities.

“We’re hoping Greek Week will draw student’s attention and help us expand on campus.,” Watson said. The sorority currently has 16 members, and Omega Phi Rho has 11. They both are accepting pledges, and encourage anyone who is interested to contact a member at the events.
