Doin' It The Greek Way: CofC Style

“It’s the most fun I have had in awhile," said Gianni Turner. "I’ve never seen anything like this before!”

            College of Charleston sophomore Gianni Turner, along with a host of other students, came out on Thursday afternoon to watch the colleges National Pan-Hellenic Council sororities and fraternities put on a very fun and informative show.

            The event began in Cougar Mall at 6:30 p.m., where the first group, the men of Alpha Phi Alpha, introduced themselves and performed a routine explaining when and where they were founded on the campus.

            Students gathered around as one-by-one “tour guides”led them throughout Cougar Mall. Once in Cougar Mall, they were led by the organizations to different areas where each sorority and fraternity put on a spectacular and entertaining show.

            When the show was over, the host for the evening, Vaughn of Zeta Phi Beta, explained to the crowd that what they had experienced was known as “Meet the Greeks”, an opportunity for students to learn about some of the campuses organizations.

The event ended at the NPHC house on Wentworth Street, where each sorority and fraternity gave an informational lecture in his or her designated rooms and answered any questions that students may have.
