Members of the Fraternity and Sorority Life Community,
Missouri State University’s annual Greek Week has finally arrived! The Greek Week
committee has been working diligently these past few months on this packet and will continue to
work hard to bring you the best Greek Week we can. This packet will be your go-to source for
everything leading up to and during the week. We hope that everything is laid out for you to
easily understand and ask that you CAREFULLY READ all of the sections of the packet to
ensure that you are effectively planning and preparing for every event.
This year, the theme will be “Adventure Awaits”. We believe this topic will allow each and
every chapter to showcase their creativity and unify our strong community. We are excited to
see how our community can take something so broad and make it our own to represent Missouri
State University and Fraternity and Sorority Life in the best light possible.
While we encourage everyone to attend and participate in as many as possible of our
events, it is more important to balance academics and Greek Week. Skipping class for a Greek
Week event is absolutely unacceptable. Part of Greek Week is showcasing how outstanding
our community is; this includes attending classes and excelling academically. As a Fraternity &
Sorority community, we should set the standard of excellence when it comes to academics. To do
so, we must have balance at all times during Greek Week and put academics first.
Packet information, event information, and deadlines can be found in the following pages.
This is your main source for all information pertaining to Greek Week this year. Updates can be
found on the Missouri State Fraternity and Sorority Life website under the Greek Week link to
the left. We will also be posting regularly about events and deadlines on our Twitter
(@MSUGreekWeek), Facebook (Missouri State Greek Week), and Instagram
(@MoStateGreekWeek2015) pages so we encourage you to follow those pages for important
updates. The deadline for all packet information to be turned in is March 18, 2016 at 4:00pm
in the Office of Student Engagement (PSU 101), unless otherwise specified. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Megan Gaglio and Courtney Nichols

General Guidelines
All participants must be an active or new member in a PHA/IFC/NPHC chapter at Missouri State
University. Participants must be listed on the chapter roster to participate in any event. Rosters will
be obtained from the Office of Student Engagement on Friday, April 8, 2016 before Greek Week.
Presidents must update their rosters to reflect the most up to date membership. Participants must be
in Good Academic Standing at the university and their chapter.
Participation points will be determined based upon the percentage of active and new members in
attendance included on each chapter’s roster and present at the requested sign-in times. Members
that are in class during an event will be excused from participation numbers. If it is determined that
a team’s sign in sheet has been falsified, that team will be disqualified from the event.
The chosen judges for all events will be the primary judges. ALL JUDGES’ DECISIONS ARE FINAL. If
you have questions about a rule or need further interpretation of a rule, please ask and contact one
of the Greek Week Directors. If there are questions regarding a rule, only one (1) representative from
each team may approach the Greek Week Director(s).
The Greek Week Directors, advisors, and Office of Student Engagement reserve the right to deduct
points, disqualify teams, or alter the rules at any time throughout the Greek Week process. All teams
will be notified of any and all changes at the earliest possible time.
There will be no drugs or alcohol at any Greek Week Event. Anyone suspected of being under the
influence will be asked to leave and their attendance will not be counted. If there are no points
associated with said event, consequences will be at the discretion of the Greek Week Directors and
advisor.
All events begin promptly at the scheduled time. It is advised that participants appear at the
designated check-in time. Failure for a team to show up for a scheduled event will result in a loss of
all points possible for that event. Check-ins will be accepted up until five (5) minutes before the
scheduled start time. If a participant fails to appear, he or she will be disqualified from the event.
Cancellation or postponement of an event due to weather or other circumstances is at the discretion
of the Greek Week Committee, the advisor, and/or the Office of Student Engagement. Notice of such
cancellations or postponements will be made directly to each chapter Greek Week Chair and via the
Greek Week 2016 Facebook and Twitter accounts. If no notice is given, each team is to assume the
event will still occur.
Any attempt to represent or mock a culture, ethnicity, race, sex, religion, sexual orientation,
gender identity, disability, or socio-economic class through appearance, actions, or language will
not be tolerated. Violations of this guideline will be left to the discretion of the Greek Week
Directors, advisor, and Office of Student Engagement. Failure to comply could result in
disqualification from the event or Greek Week entirely.
Any inappropriate behavior against the Fraternity and Sorority Life spirit at MSU, as viewed by
the Greek Week Committee and Office of Student Engagement may result in loss of points,
disqualification from the named event, or removal from participation in Greek Week as a
whole.

Players
- Each Volleyball team shall consist of a minimum of six (6) players (three men and three
women) and may have a maximum of twelve players (six men and six women) in order to begin
a game. If the minimum is not met, the team will be disqualified. Players can be in any

- Men and women must alternate positions throughout the co-ed game.
- Players on the court must be the players who signed up on the form, NO EXCEPTIONS!
- Each team will be allowed TWO alternative players in case of emergency
Game Format
- All matches will consist of the best two (2) out of three (3) games. The games will have a 10minute time limit.
- All matches will be rally scoring. Rally scoring means a point is scored on each serve,
regardless of whether the team who won the point served the ball or not.
- The first team to score 15 points or the team ahead at the end of 10 minutes will win the
match. This goes for each of the three matches. A two-point advantage is not required to win
the game. There is a 15-point cap in all three (3) matches. If both teams are tied at the end of
the 10-minute time limit, the next team to score will be declared the winner.
- A coin toss at the beginning of the match will determine the choice of court or serve. The team
that does not serve first in game one (1) will serve first in game two. Teams must switch sides
between the first two games. A coin toss will be conducted for the choice if there is a third
game.
- Two thirty (30) second time outs will be given to each team per each match.
Playing the Ball
- Each team is allowed a maximum of three successive contacts of the ball in order to return
the ball to the opponent's area. The only exception to this rule is a block, which is not
considered to be one of the three (3) contacts.
- The ball may be hit with any part of the body on or above the waist, but cannot come to rest
visibly on the body. If the ball hits below the waist, it shall be considered dead.
Greek Week April 10-16, 2016

An illegal hit occurs when the ball visibly comes to rest or has prolonged contact with a player.
This is a judgment call by the official and cannot be questioned. Holding, catching,
throwing, lifting, and pushing are illegal hits because of prolonged contact with the ball.
Rolling is considered an illegal hit because there is continued and steady contact between the
ball and the player's body.
A double hit occurs when a player illegally contacts the ball twice in succession or the ball
rebounds from one part of the body to another on a single attempt to play the ball.
A net foul occurs while the ball is in play and:
a.) A player contacts any part of the net including the cable attachments. It is not a
foul when a player's hair touches the net, or the force of the ball hit by an opponent
pushes the net or net cables into the player.
b.) There is interference by a player who makes contact with an opponent who is
making a legitimate effort to play the ball.
A team can have no more than three (3) front-line players on the court during a particular
rotation, regardless of the total number of players on the court.
Serving
- The server must wait for the official to beckon (blow the whistle and motion with his/her
hand) before a serve may be attempted. If the ball is served before the official's beckon, a reserve shall be directed. During a team's term of service if the ball is served a second time
before the official's beckon, it is a side-out.
- If the serve hits the net and still falls inside the non-serving team's court, the ball is ruled in
play. If a serve hits the net and does not fall inside the non-serving team's court, it is
considered to be illegal and a point will be awarded to the non-serving team.
- The server shall serve from within the serving area and shall not touch the end line at the
instant the ball is contacted for the serve. The server's body may be in the air over or beyond
the serving area boundary lines, having left the floor from the serving area.
- A good serve must land on the line or inside the court. If any part of the ball touches the line,
the ball is considered to be "good". If the ball lands out and is not touched by any player on
the receiving team before it hits the ground, a point is awarded to the receiving team.
- The server has five seconds to make a legal serve. The server may toss and catch a bad toss as
long as no swinging motion has been made to attempt the serve. The server is allowed only
one re-serve per term of service.
- Any unsportsman-like conduct witnessed by a Greek Week Committee member, Director,
Advisor, or referee, either while playing or spectating will result in that team’s disqualification.

“I’m all about students taking action in their lives,” Justin said. “When they take their vision and put
it into action, they are better leaders, more effective communicators and agents for change in their
campus community and in their world.”
Would you rate the organizations on your campus as being more competitive or collaborative? If your
campus is like mine was, then the fraternities and sororities may get along on the surface, but behind
closed doors (and sometimes not so behind) there are divisive rivalries and unhealthy competition.
Maybe it is a social club/organization that is having a program that seems quite similar to another
program across campus and either one event has all the people, or people are split between the two
events (assuming the campus community is interested in the event at all). Well your campus may not
have embraced an appreciation for greater collaboration.
So you may be wondering, well shouldn’t our organizations still have competition? They should,
however, unhealthy competition should never erode the progress of effective collaboration. Have fun
learning how to see and act BEyond yOURself!

This fun event is designed to get more FSL members involved in Greek Week and should contain
friendly and relaxed competition. Teams must have at least one (1) trivia team to earn points.
Rules and Regulations:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Each Greek Week team may enter up to two (2) trivia teams.
Each trivia team will consist of six (6) teammates.
Trivia will be Family Feud style.
The Greek Week Committee will release a survey to the FSL community to determine the
answers for the Family Feud event. If it is determined any team is encouraging members
to answer questions collectively in an attempt to gain a competitive advantage, the team’s
answers will be omitted from the event and the team’s trivia team will be disqualified from
the event.
5. Two teams will be feuding at once.
6. One person will start the round at the buzzer. A question will be asked, and who ever
‘buzzes’ first, answers. If the answer given is the #1 answer, the player will choose to give
the question to the other team, or take it and their own team play. If the answer is not #1
on the board, the opponent will have a chance to guess. If their answer is more popular
than the previous answer, that person gets to choose to give the round to the other team,
or keep it for him or herself.
7. The team giving answers for the round will have a maximum of three strikes. Strikes are
received when a team gives an answer that is not on the survey. If the team gets to three
strikes before giving all the answers correctly, the round moves to the other team, and if
they guess one more answer on the board, the second team will receive the points.
8. The first and second question will be worth single points; the third question will be worth
double points. Whichever team gets to 300 points first will move on.
9. Cell phones and other electronic devices are strictly prohibited at the tables. Should it be
necessary for you to use your cell phone for a call, you are asked to leave the room and
will not be permitted re-entry until the end of that round.
10. Event Chairs have final say on any disputed answers.
11. There is zero tolerance for the use of alcohol at this event. Failure to abide by this rule
will result in disqualification from the tournament and no participation points will be
earned.
