Baker University sororities and fraternities were competing for the title of Greek Week “Animal House” champions from April 10 through Sunday.
“Our greek houses have been working on promoting unity throughout the greek system, so friendly competition is a good way to foster that unity,” Jennifer Letner, fraternity and sorority life coordinator, said.
Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity won many of the Greek Week events, bringing home wins in penny wars, greek games and trivia challenge. Delta Tau Delta fraternity and Zeta Tau Alpha sorority won two events, chalk the walk and recycled art, and Zeta Chi fraternity and Zeta Phi Beta sorority brought the most goods to the Order of Omega food drive, which collected 345 canned goods total.
Penny wars raised over $824 for Midnight Farms, which is a place for people with disabilities to have rural experiences such as horseback riding.
With a piano rendition of “Pirates of the Caribbean” by senior Will Duncan, Zeta Chi received another win in the Mr. BU category. Freshman Jillian Miller of Alpha Chi Omega won the talent show, where she performed a duet with freshman Brandon Haefke.
Senior Rachel Hawkins of Alpha Chi Omega won greek woman of the year and Senior Bradford Oliva of Delta Tau Delta won greek man of the year.
The chapter presidents of the year were senior Eric Reimer of Sigma Phi Epsilon and junior Katerra Shackelford of Zeta Phi Beta.
Alpha Chi Omega and Delta Tau Delta won the awards for five-star chapters.
The overall winner of Greek Week for the fraternities was Sigma Phi Epsilon and there was a tie between Alpha Chi Omega and Zeta Tau Alpha for sororities.
