The 2007 Greek Fest was a huge success according to Greek Life Coordinator Louis Ragsdale.
Greek Fest has been a regular event on the UTM campus since Ragsdale was a greek in 1993. Although it has changed the semester in which it appears in, its purpose has not-to get the greek groups together for fun, competition and charity.
Each year the greeks get together and decide which charity they will sponsor for Greek Fest. This year's consensus was made for the charitable group 'Hunters for the Hungry.'
In previous years, Greek Fest has donated approximately $4,000 to their charity after all the expenses of Greek Fest are paid.
Ragsdale said that this year's total will not be known until a later date due to Greek Fest activities lasting an additional day longer.
Ragsdale was especially proud of how Greek Fest 2007 turned out.
"I really appreciate the fact that all the greek groups participated in Greek Fest," he said. "Hopefully, we will be able to give a good donation."
Ragsdale said that he was proud that all 19 greek organizations participated in at least one or more events. He also said that awards were presented to three fraternities and three sororities for having 100 percent participation throughout Greek Fest.
Ragsdale also mentioned that he was proud of the support that was given toward all the greek organizations. He said that even if all greeks did not participate in an event there was a member of each organization there to support the others.
There were several competitions in this year's fest. One of the popular competitions was the Line Dance. Delta Sigma Theta received first place and Best in Show among the sororities, with Chi Omega taking second place. Sigma Chi received first place and Best in Show among the fraternities. The Pikes took second place. For results of the other competitions, see related articles on this page, as well as the Arts & Entertainment section for Lip Sync results.
The overall winners of Greek Fest 2007 were Alpha Delta Pi for the sororities and Sigma Alpha Epsilon for the fraternities.
This year's Greek Fest truly showed the unity and companionship among the greek organizations.
