Greek Week 2011!

Last night marked the end to this month's Greek Week festivities! Paired with the men of Phi Kappa Theta, Sigma Tau Gamma and Acacia, Kappa Alpha Theta sure made their mark on this year's Greek Week.

Participating in events including games, talent, service, blood drive, and special events, we worked to celebrate and highlight all the talents of the Greek community here at the University of Missouri. Overall, we had a great time bonding with our fraternity pairings and working together to support our wonderful beneficiary, Honor Flight.

Teaming up with Honor Flight, we were able to help give back to the men and women who have done so much for our country! Honor Flight is a non-profit organization that helps to honor American Veterans by giving them a chance to visit their war memorials in Washington D.C. This year, our grouping was honored to help support such a wonderful cause. We were able to participate in the welcome home ceremony for some of our local veterans!

Also, during the Can Castle competition as part of the service event, we wrapped our cans in aluminum foil and built an airplane to represent Honor Flight! Overall, Greek Week collected 27, 345 cans of food which will provide over 20,560 meals. In addition, 1,716 units of blood were donated and 1,680 hours of community service were dedicated to the Columbia, MO community.

This year we placed 1st in sports winning flag-football, basketball, soccer, and volleyball! Shout out to Erin Tatman (MC '09), our Intramurals Chair for all her dedication to sports this spring!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a successful Greek Week! We are so thrilled to have placed 5th overall! A special thanks to our Theta liaisons, Kaleigh Glaza (MC '08) and Amanda Sudduth (MC '09).

We also had two Thetas selected for Greek Week Sweet 16 Royalty! Shout out to seniors Cyreia Sandlin (MC '07) and Annie Hildebrandt (MC '07) who where chosen to represent Theta for the entire Greek community!
