Greek Week

Greek Week 2024 was a SMASHING success this year! In total, over $25,000 dollars for our philanthropies which were Project HAPPIE, Kirksville Parks and Rec scholarship program, and Trumanā€™s Food Pantry. In addition to raising money, members of the community also made an impact in our community by donating their time to local classrooms.

Our individual council winners were Delta Zeta for the Panhellenic Council, Delta Chi for the Interfraternity Council, and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc for the National Pan-hellenic Council.

What Is Greek Week?

Greek Week at Truman State University is a week-long celebration that takes place each spring. Greek Week strives to build and promote Fraternity and Sorority Life unity on campus through friendly team competitions. It is also a time for FSL members to give back to the campus and Kirksville community.

Greek Week strives to:

  • Promote FSL unity
  • Inspire friendly competition among the organizations
  • Expanding individualā€™s circle of friends by creating new opportunities to get to know other
  • Ability to show your pride for your organization
  • Create a positive image on Trumanā€™s campus for the FSL community
  • Support the Truman and Kirksville community through philanthropic efforts
  • Recognize FSL students as leaders

The Greek Week Committee is comprised current FSL students from an assortment of organizations and the FSL Team. The committee is led by our Greek Week Coordinator who is selected through an application process in the fall. The Greek Week Committee begins planning at the end of the fall semester to prepare for spring activities.

Greek Week holds a variety of competition events throughout the week on campus. Every year the events change to correlate with the current theme that is chosen by the committee in the fall. Annual events include: a philanthropic event, Greek Week Kick-Off, annual athletic games, trivia, Court and Lip Sync.
