Plans for “Greekend,” a three-day competition between Greek organizations for philanthropy donations, will be amended due to a lack of interest and support from the Greek organizations, according to an April 2 memo released to members of AU’s Greek community by the event’s organizers, Joni Agronin and AJ Custard.
The organizers made the decision to best accommodate the needs and desires of the Greek Community, Agronin said.
Many organizations planned conflicting events for the weekend, according to the memo.
Instead of competing on teams for philanthropy donations, the Greek community will spend the weekend of April 5 to 7 celebrating Greek life unity, Agronin and Custard said in the email.
However, the event will still include Alpha Epsilon Phi’s philanthropy event, Phollapalooza, on April 5, according to the memo. The Greek community will also hold a cookout, a dunk tank and various field games on the Quad on April 6.
“This event on Saturday will be an opportunity for the entire Greek community to take a step back and not worry about planning or philanthropy or homework or ritual and just have a fun day on the Quad,” Agronin said.
