General Information
The Greek Week 2012 committee, comprised of student and staff members, has been working very hard over the semester to provide the most fun and meaningful experience for the Greek community. This year, our goal is to emphasize community by being inclusive of all governing Greek councils, and hope that our matchups and events reflect that goal.
Trophies: Trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place overall winners of Greek Week.
Re-Dedication: Re-Dedication will take place on Monday, April 23rd.Trophies will be distributed at this time. Winners will not be announced throughout the week, but will be announced at re-dedication.
Evaluation: After Greek Week is complete; please look out for an evaluation that will be emailed to each of the Greek Week Chairs from each chapter. We would appreciate your feedback on the week of events in order to improve for the future.

ALCOHOL STANCE
The Greek Week Committee has decided to implement a new alcohol stance for all of Greek Week. The purpose of the Alcohol Stance is to keep everyone safe and out of trouble while trying to keep the purpose and goals of Greek Week intact.
Below are the rules that each matchup, chapter, and individual member must adhere to for the entire week and for every event:
1. No alcohol may be present at any official Greek Week event
2. No member may be visibly intoxicated at any official Greek Week event
3. Each matchup and chapter is responsible for their members to ensure no one is noticeably intoxicated at any official Greek Week event
Below are the consequences for matchups, chapters, and members for violating any of the rules stated above:
1. If a member brings alcohol to an official Greek Week event, the following will occur:
I. The person will be asked to turn over their alcoholic beverage
II. If the person refuses to turn over their drink, their chapter President will be asked to do so
III. Once the drink is turned over, the chapter President will have 5 minutes to remove that member from the event
IV. If the member is not removed from the event within 5 minutes, the ENTIRE MATCHUP will be removed from the event and asked to leave
2. If a member of a matchup is noticeably intoxicated and/or impeding on the event, the following will occur:
I. If a person is noticeably and visible drunk/out of control/making a scene, the Greek Week Chairs will be the only people addressing the issue
II. Once the Greek Week chairs determine that the person is out of control and too drunk to be in attendance, they will pull aside the chapter Presidents of the matchup
III. The chapter Presidents will have 5 minutes to remove the person from the event
IV. If the matchup fails to remove the intoxicated member within 5 minutes, the ENTIRE MATCHUP will be removed from the event and asked to leave
3. If any member of a matchup acts inappropriate towards any member of the Greek Week Committee, DFSL, or any other volunteer, the following will occur:
I. The Greek Week Chairs will pull aside the chapter Presidents of the matchup
II. The chapter Presidents will have 5 minutes to remove the person from the event
III. If the matchup fails to remove the person within 5 minutes, the ENTIRE MATCHUP will be removed from the event and asked to leave
The Greek Week Committee is taking the use of alcohol at official Greek Week events extremely seriously. Matchups will be removed from events if they are out of line or are not cooperating with decisions made by the Greek Week Committee. Please talk to your members about the use of alcohol at official events and work with your matchups to ensure you are all on the same page.
PARTICIPATION POLICY
In order to win Greek Week, or even place, your matchup must be in attendance and participate in EVERY event throughout the week in accordance to the rules for each particular event. Failure to do so will result in your matchup being unable to win Greek Week. If a matchup is removed from an official event, their attendance at that event no longer counts, therefore, eliminating that matchup’s chance of placing, or winning, Greek Week.
Rules for Pre-Greek Week Social
Match-ups must have a pre-Greek Week Social with all of the chapters in their match-up. This social must be non-alcoholic and must occur before Sunday, April 15th. Each chapter must have at least 15% of their members present. A group picture should be taken at the event and at least one person from each chapter should wear letters in the front row of the picture. Several pictures must be taken to show what happened at the event. Match-ups will receive points for this event if 15% or more of each chapter in their match-up are present.
All photos must be submitted to by Sunday April 15th to be reviewed.
Note: Saying you do not have the contact information for a chapter in your match-up or that another chapter is not responding to you will not be an excuse for these events. If you are having problems contacting members of your match-up then please contact your match-up’s respective Greek Week Committee liaison listed below (contact information can be found on page 5):
Jared Winston - Phi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Chi Omega
Rachel Wint – Delta Gamma, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Omicron Pi

Greg Gilston – Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta
Bonnie Butler – Sigma Delta Tau, Alpha Epsilon Phi
Matt Carr – Delta Phi Epsilon, Zeta Tau Alpha
Sexual Assault Awareness Workshop
