Greek Treats

UNCG Fraternities and sororities will host their annual Greek Treats event. The purpose is to provide a safe and fun Halloween environment for community children. Each Greek organization at UNCG will have a trick-or-treat game/activity set up for participants. There is no cost to participate but families are encouraged to bring one can of food per child. Canned goods will be donated to the Greensboro Urban Ministry. Costumes are encouraged!
Luminaries
December 8, 2009 (evening)
Campus comes aglow with the annual lighting of luminaries upon the dusk of every December Reading Day. "Las luminaries" is the Spanish phrase for "little lights". The tradition of luminaries at UNCG dates back to 1969. Each member of the Greek community contributes to this project. The Greek community spends two days preparing 7,000 bags, distributes the bags among campus walkways, lights the candles at dusk, and cleans up the bags at the end of the night. Fraternities and sororities celebrate the holidays by making and displaying luminaries on Reading Day for the entire campus community to enjoy.
Greek Week
April 12-18, 2010
Greek Week is a time for all UNCG fraternities and sororities to come together as a community and participate as teams in activities dedicated to academics, community service, and friendly competition.
