3 OVERVIEW Purpose and Mission Greekend strives to foster relationships among Fraternity and Sorority Life, Stetson University, and Deland by taking pride in our community through unity, philanthropy, and healthy competition while promoting brotherhood/sisterhood, high standards, respect, and leadership. This year, the Greekend Committee has entirely revitalized the structure and purpose of Greek Week from previous years. The two main focuses of this transformation are to have fewer, more impactful events and to implement collaboration amongst the Chapters instead of strictly focusing on competition. The committee has reduced the week into only three days with three events: a philanthropy event, Greek Sing, and trivia with awards. We hope that you all genuinely enjoy the events and supporting the Greek community! Theme The 2017 Greekend theme is 90 s! Chapters are encouraged to embrace all that this throwback theme has to offer as they incorporate the 90 s into their dance. To reduce redundancy, for Greeksing, each team will choose their own sub-theme under the 90 s theme to perform their dance to.
