A Greeks Perspective
Guest Blogger: Steve Hershfield
When the subject of Greek Week comes up in a conversation there are many different thoughts that go through our heads: Some of us have been affected by cancer at some point in our lives, many simply love having the opportunity to sing and dance, others enjoy getting a chance to bind with the Greek community and meet new people, and some claim to be “too busy” to participate. In my opinion, participating in Greek Week is more than just going through the motions, learning a routine, and watching other houses perform. This week members celebrate the values of their chapters, meeting new Greeks, and to shine a positive light on Greeks as a whole by raising money for both national and local charities.
In my time at Michigan State, I have been fortunate enough to have participated in three years of Greek Week. It has given me the chance to get to know and make new friends with the ladies from three different sororities and the men from two other fraternities. Without Greek Week, there would not be many other opportunities where you are given the chance to meet, get to know, put trust in, and enjoy activities with other Greeks. While socials are a great way to let loose and party with a new group of Greeks, Greek Week brings people together to compete and have a good sober time. Let me give you an example-- Ladies, when you go to a social or philanthropy event, how often do you meet a gentlemen whom you believe you can trust them in to flip you and not drop you? And guys, how often do you get to enjoy the company of 20 ladies for a few weeks and get to know them better then “Hey, you want to take some shots”.
Other than just participating in Battle of the Bands, Songfest, and MTV Night, there are many other opportunities to meet other Greeks in common ground: All the games and activities at Relay for Life, at the different events while cheering for your team together, celebrating with your team after each competition, and many more. The friendships will not stop after this week. The relationships we make during Greek Week will last through your college years and into the future, trust me. So enjoy it while it lasts, and remember, however much you put into it, you will receive the same or more in return.
