The Teams

4. Everyday events are put on by the appointed Greek
Week Council, made up of Greek affiliated students
from all chapters.
Penny Wars is a challenge that took place everyday
throughout the week outside The Sturm Building on
campus. All five teams have a bucket on a table
decorated with their Greek letters and as people pass by
teams ask for spare change from. Dollar bills put in the
buckets take points away from the teams. Many
individuals put dollar bills in the buckets of the
opposing teams.
All events are self-explanatory in their title, except for
the Bromance and “Bowmance” Challenge. In this
event, two best friends from each chapter are paired
together in a guessing game as judges ask the
participants random questions about their partners.

5. The budget of 1,500
dollars for the week
gave free fun to
students with
Barbeque, games, and
pies in the face.

11. Unfortunately Thursday’s Casual Sports event on Driscoll Green was canceled due to inclement
weather. The yellow team made it through the week with the most points and left the Greek Awards as
the winners of 2014 Greek Week and a force to be remembered for 2015.
Funds raised throughout the week from Penny Wars and participation charges for events came out
to be 2,000 dollars. Every year the money raised during Greek Week is given to the Special Olympics
Colorado.
