Dear Tributes,
Welcome to Greek Week! We would like to wish each and every team the best of luck in this year’s Greek Week events. We hope this booklet provides you with all of the resources you need.
If you have any questions about the rules, events, or Greek Week in general please do not hesitate to contact one of the chairs or any member of the Greek Week committee. We are always available to help!
We would like to send our most sincere gratitude to our wonderful committee members. Without them, Greek Week would not be possible. Greek Week 2016 has been in progress for over a year and the committee has worked very hard to ensure this is the best week possible for the
Fraternity & Sorority community. We could not have done this without our committee.
Additionally, we would like to thank Tyler, Brian, Caitlyn, and Katie for always going the extra mile to provide support to us. We have been spending quite a few hours together over the last year and they are always willing to give us extra help when we ask. We can only hope that participating in Greek Week will be as unforgettable for each team as planning it has been for us!
Although we are sure all the teams are very excited to begin a week filled with competition and team pride, let’s not forget why we all do this each and every year: to have fun, make memories, and to celebrate as an entire community what it really means to be a member of a Fraternity or
Sorority at Western Illinois University. Greek Week is supposed to be fun and enjoyable; not a chore. There is nothing wrong with some good, healthy competition, but just remember we are all one community, so be respectful of all teams.
With that being said, the committee is sure that your hard work and effort will ultimately pay off in the end. May the week be ever in your favor!
