Charity benefits from Greek Week

Three, two, one, zero.
Three twins. Two uniquely decorated beds are pushed by a group of fraternity members frantically racing down a parking lot, competing against high winds and dogs — as well as each other — to the islands at the end of the lot.
As they round the islands and speed to the finish line, guided by a woman riding on the bed, members of their houses cheer from the sides.
Despite the gusty winds and cool temperatures, over 200 students attended bed races in the parking lot behind the Kansas Union on Saturday morning. The races were a part of
une activities of last week's Greek Week.
"It is neat to see the people get together like this," Davis Smith, St. Louis senior and a coordinator of Greek Week, said. "When most people are in bed with hangovers, it is nice to see people get out this early to participate in this."
The purpose of Greek Week is to unite the houses as well as to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, said Rochelle Strickland, Stilwell junior and a coordinator of Greek Week.
Each house contributed $35 and each group that entered the races paid 105. Smith said about $2,000 would be raised for the Muscular
The bed races were just one of several activities included in Greek Week. Other activities were a greek sing competition, a non-alcohol party at the Union on Wednesday, banner and party favor competitions throughout the week and neighborhood dinners between the fraternities and sororites on Friday.
Tuesday night a reception was held, for members of the Order of Omega, a national greek honor society. Strickland said the honor society recently formed on campus and had elected 36 members.
"People were chosen for the honor society if their grades were above their house average and if they show
ed some leadership," she said. "They had to be active in their house as well as in the Greek community."
The week, which was moved to spring this year, was a big success, said the coordinators.
Smith said, "Greek Week hasn't been really successful in the past. We were trying to make something of it," he added. "It's not a really good time for everyone."
Strickland said, "Our non-alcohol party Wednesday night was a huge success. Over 400 Greeks attended."

all the Greeks to get together."
