University Events
Homecoming
During the month of October, Iowa State University celebrates their Alumni coming back to the college with a Homecoming Football game and activities. Greeks at ISU usually do the same. The week starts off with sports tournaments, and Yell Like Hell. Yell Like Hell is a chance for at Greeks to show their Iowa State Spirit off by performing a skit about a centralized Homecoming Theme. The reason for the yelling is to make sure that everybody can hear you, since no microphones are allowed.
Beta Sigma Psi finishes off the week by holding an Alumni Meeting at our chapter house, or at a tent down by Jack Trice Stadium. This is a great way for all members, young and old to meet other current, or older Beta Sigs.
Greek Week
Every year in late March or early April, every house in the Greek Community gets together for a week just for them, which is known as Greek Week. The week is filled with many different activities which are there just to have fun with other people in the Greek Community. During the week, there are many different tournaments that can be played in by member of the "Greek Week Pairing", which usually consists of one sorority and two fraternities. Mid-week, there are Lip Sync performances, where every pairing gets to show off their dance/acting talents while lip syncing to a melody of songs. The performance has to have a certain theme to go along with it.
On Saturday of Greek Week, everybody gets together for Greek Olympics. This is a series of events held all day long which are there to test the skills of members from each pairing, where they are matched up against other people from different pairings. There are individual winners of each event, then there is an overall winner of the Olympics crowned after everything is done. All of the events were created to make them fun, and challenging for everybody.
