Greek spirit descended on ULM during its annual Greek Week – a fun-filled tradition promoting Greek life to students without affiliation and encouraging involvement in other student organizations. This year’s theme was “Luck of the Warhawk” to tie into St. Patrick’s Day.
The 15 active Greek organizations, totaling approximately 500 students, hosted several activities for all students to participate in, including a Cake Walk, Battle of the Sexes Tournament, and Powder-Puff football game. CAB and Dominos Pizza.
According to Director of Greek Life Keith Hembree, Greek Week activities used to be exclusively for students involved in Greek organizations and were not open to the entire campus.
“Two years ago, I decided we needed to show our true values to others on campus and the community and open up to all recognized student organizations,” Hembree said. “We want to help students find things to do on campus other than going to class…and for them to enjoy their time at ULM.”
Events continued through Saturday’s Browse on the Bayou, the campus visitation day for high school students. ULM students promoted Greek Life at Browse events, and they invited prospective students to tailgate before the ULL baseball game with food, games, and a DJ.
“We want to interest new students in what ULM offers and what it means to be a Warhawk,” said Hembree.
Greek Week’s mission is promoting fun and Warhawk spirit is a beloved endeavor of many students.
“My favorite thing about Greek Week is all Greeks coming together as a Greek community and supporting one another,” said Holly Betts, a Kappa Delta junior majoring in marketing from Monroe.
