After all of the festivities came to an end, all of the points were calculated and the winning team was announced today in the Panhellenic, Interfraternal, and Cultural Group Council meetings. This is a new thing for Greek Week because in previous years members would have to wait until the next semester to find out who won.

Team 1, Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Kappa, lived up to their team number and ended up taking first place overall. Pi Kappa Phi member Joey Buss was ecstatic saying, "We were shocked when we heard the results, we knew we worked extremely hard but never expected to take it all". Second place was given to team 6 who was Delta Gamma and Kappa Sigma who seemed quite proud, especially because they came full force to every event. And third place was given to team 3 which included Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Phi, Delta Chi, and FIJI. They proved that despite some technical difficulties you can still push through and do well in all the other events.

This year's greek week events were both fun for the greek community and beneficial to the community. All of the teams worked extremely hard to at all the events and did their best to have as many of their members participate. Overall, Greek Week brought in just over $20, 000 and donated over 8,200 cans that were given to local rescue missions. "It is always a great event to get excited for because you end up with great greek relations and the rewarding feeling that you are helping someone" said Greek Week Committee member and Panhellenic member Becca Bowdey.
