This week is Greek Unity Week, when Aggie Greeks are encouraged to wear their letters and promote the Greek system on campus.
Todd Hunter, Interfraternity Council president, vice president of Beta Theta Pi and senior finance major, said that he sees the week as a great opportunity for the 3,500 Greek students to make themselves known to the Aggie community.
There will be a luncheon 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the 12th Man in the MSC where all students wearing their letters will receive discounts on their lunch.
James Jamison, National Pan-Hellenic Council president and senior mechanical engineering and technology major, said, "I ran it by all the organizations [in the NPHC] and encouraged at least one member from each organization to attend."
Amanda Harneck, president of the Multicultural Greek Council, said Greek Unity Week is good because it lets the members of all four Greek councils get to know each other.
"It's a great opportunity to get all the Greeks together," Harneck said. "Being from four different councils, there is not a lot of bonding between the different councils. This is a great opportunity to get all the members together."
"I think we are going to be really impressed by the turnout at the luncheon, especially non-Greek students, because this will be the first time they get to see how many Aggies are in Greek organizations," said Anne Rabalais, president of the Collegiate Panhellenic Council and senior nutrition major.
Kate Doty, graduate assistant for the Department of Greek Life, said that the department is planning a true Greek Week for the spring that will include crowning a king and queen and Greek Week Olympics.
Doty said that the fall Greek week is to promote the spring semester's Greek Week to the chapters on campus.
Rabalais said that the luncheon will get the members of Greek organizations excited for Greek Week in the spring.
There are 32 fraternities and 24 sororities on campus that are divided into four councils: The Collegiate Panhellenic Council has 12 sororities; the Interfraternity Council has 22 fraternities; the Multicultural Greek Council has eight fraternities and eight sororities with a cultural emphasis; and the National Pan-Hellenic Council has four fraternities and three sororities.
