Greek Week Hits Towson

This Monday kicked off greek week, and has numerous events through out the week that in which roughly 1000 greeks participate. The week was kicked off with Greek Sing. 
Greek Sing is a sing/dance off between the different sororities and fraternities around the campus. Kappa Delta took first place for the sororities, and TKE took first place for the fraternities for the second year in a row. 
On Tuesday the dodgeball tournament was held in Burdick gym and the NPHC held a step show competition to benefit music programs in public schools. 
Wednesday was the volleyball tournament once again held in Burdick. ZTA won for the sororities and PSK won for the fraternities. 
There are still many more events happening through out the week, with a disaster drill on Friday, Greek Olympics on Saturday and the winner of Greek Week will be announced at the Lacrosse game versus Hopkins on Wednesday. 
Many people across campus are either involved in Greek Life or know someone who is, and people who aren't involved in Greek Life can and should come out to these events to show support for their friends and to have fun watching them in the different events. It may even get them interested in joining greek life themselves, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing...

Concert for Sexual Awareness Month

Another great event happened in PAWS this tuesday, a Concert for Sexual Awareness Month. Two Towson bands LVT and Rhyme and Reason performed at the event, and there was also poetry read by several Towson students. 
This was a great event for a great cause. There was literature being handed out to make people more aware about sexual assault and what to do if you have experienced a form of sexual assault. This is great info to hand out, because many people do not know what to do in that kind of situation. 
As usual, not that many people attended the event or many people came in and out throughout the night, but it was still an awesome event regardless of the number of attendees.

Relay For Life= HUGE success!

Relay for Life was this past Friday night at the Towson Center. This was an amazing event, with over 500 participants and raised over $50,000. 
Relay for Life is a 12 hour walking event, where people raise money for the American Cancer Society, by pledging to walk for the night. There was also different activities going on throughout the night from limbo to pie an SGA member. 
This is a great event for the University, because it brings the University together for a good cause while having fun.
