This fall, the college\u2019s Greek groups are collaborating to host events for the campus. Amidst the efforts of sororities, fraternities and housing groups to host rush and make floats for the Homecoming Parade, they find time to unite other students, Greek members and independents alike, in a wide range of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Delta Rho Sigma housing group, also known as \u201cthe Buffalos,\u201d joined forces with the Nu Lambda Phi fraternity on Sept. 27 to kick off a season of events by hosting their annual \u201cMeat and Greet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had burgers and steaks \u2013 that got great feedback \u2013 and some yard games like volleyball, Spikeball, corn hole and Kan Jam. We were excited to reconnect with upperclassmen, meet new students and increase our presence and contribution on campus,\u201d senior Nu Lamb member Andrew Coy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming, the Crons housing group and Tri-Zeta sorority will host their \u201cPink Dance\u201d on Oct. 3 in Ketler Rec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Pink Dance\u2019 is an event that the Zetas and the Crons are running to fundraise for breast cancer awareness. This is open to the whole campus, and all are welcome to dance with us and come meet new people! I am so excited to see this year\u2019s turnout and have a fun night with friends!\u201d senior Zeta President Kaitlyn Erickson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another highly anticipated event is \u201cWolf Creep,\u201d which will be hosted on Oct. 24 by the Tri-Rhos housing group and the Alpha Beta Tau sorority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Wolf Creep\u2019 is an adrenaline-filled horror walk. I walked through last year, and it was a lot of fun and there were a lot of scares, so I\u2019m excited to help run it this year as a Rho,\u201d junior Max Turner said. The walk will take place on lower campus, weaving through the college\u2019s Nature Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campus\u2019 Theta Alpha Pi sorority will once again collab with the Beta Sigma fraternity to host \u201cMonster Mash\u201d on the evening of Halloween in Ketler Rec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Monster Mash\u2019 is essentially a big dance for all of campus to dress up for a contest and come have fun with friends and meet new people! The last few years, attendance has been on the rise, and we are hoping for even more to show up this year,\u201d sophomore Theta member Jordyn Vandevort said. \u201cAll proceeds are donated to the Alpha Omega Pregnancy Center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also held the evening of Oct. 31 will be fraternity Delta Iota Kappa\u2019s \u201cBonfire Bash\u201d on lower campus. \u201cIt will include various activities such as a pumpkin carving contest, Spikeball, cornhole and, of course, a bonfire! Snacks and refreshments will be provided as well. It will be a great time, so you definitely don\u2019t want to miss it!\u201d junior DIK member Brett Belval said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Nov. 7, the Gamma Chi sorority and ADELPHIKOS fraternity will host their iconic \u201cSpicy Soup Night\u201d in the Breen Student Union. \u201cIt is a time of fellowship, friendly competition and delicious food. I signed up for the competition having no idea what I was getting myself into. My stomach hurt for two days after, but the memories will last a lifetime,\u201d senior ADEL member Benjamin Forastiere reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are a few of the most eagerly awaited events this fall semester, but be sure to keep an eye out around campus and on social media for info on other Greek goings-on during these upcoming months. Whether you only make it to a few or all of these events, it will most certainly be a festive fall at Grove City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
