  • Order of Omega Presents Greek Week 2007

    Order of Omega, the Greek leadership society at the University of Florida campus, will be hosting Greek Week from February 28-March 4, 2007.

    All four councils of the Florida Greek community have been divided into eight teams to encourage unity and friendly competition. Teams will be participating in a variety of competitions throughout the week to earn points for their teams. Additional points will be awarded for t-shirt sales, the banner competition, and attendance at each event.


    Greek Week Kickoff: Wednesday, February 28

    The week will kick off with games in Turlington Plaza all afternoon. Teams can earn points by wearing their team's shirt and checking in at the Greek Week Table.


    Greek Week-Case Study Competition: Thursday, March 1

    The Greek Week Case Study Competition will put your University of Florida education to the test. Prior to the event teams will be given a prompt that they will use to develop their case. Teams will be awarded points based on their presentations. Points will also be awarded to those in attendance at the event.

    The case study competition will begin at 6:00 PM in the Carleton Auditorium.


    Greek Week-Greek Feud Trivia: Friday, March 2

    It's time to test your knowledge of the Greek Community. The Greek Feud Trivia Competition will place Greeks head to head with some of the most challenging Greek trivia questions known to man.

    If you think you have what it takes be sure to sign up to be a contestant for the competition. The event will take place on Friday, March 2 at 7:00 PM at the Levin College of Law in rooms 285 B & C.


    Greek Week-All Greek Service Day: Saturday, March 3

    The All Greek Service Day is a once a year opportunity to provide service to the Gainesville and Alachua County community. It is a chance for the Florida Greek community to show its commitment and dedication to Gainesville and its residents. On Saturday morning the Gainesville area will be flooded with Florida Greek students working for the common goal of providing service to others.

    The morning will begin with a kickoff on Flavet Field. This is where participants will receive all of their project sight information and of course no event would be complete without food. Several different venues will be sponsoring breakfast for all of the students involved in the All Greek Service Day.

    More information regarding registration for the event will come soon.


    Greek Week-Florida Greek Games: Sunday, March 4

    The conclusion of Greek Week will culminate with the Florida Greek Games. Join the Order of Omega for an afternoon of fun and an award ceremony immediately following the Florida v. Kentucky basketball game. The event will begin at 3:00 PM at Flavet Field.
