Greek Olympics
Egg and Spoon Race – 3 participants per chapter
Each participant will be given a spoon, and when told, the first of each group will go as fast as they can with
the egg on their spoon to the other side of the course, round the cone and go back to the next team
member to pass the spoon with the egg on it, the second teammate will do the same and pass it to the final
member who will round the cone head back to cross the finish line. 1st – 4th place will be given to
sororities and 1st – 5th place will be given to fraternities. If the egg is dropped and broken, the chapter is
disqualified and will receive no points for the event. If the egg is dropped but not broken, the participating
member may put it back on the spoon and continue the race. If the egg is touched AT ALL, aside from picking
it back up after dropping and putting it on the spoon, the chapter will be immediately disqualified and receive
no points for the event.
Water Balloon Toss – 2 participants per chapter
Partners will line up facing each other, both stepping back 2 feet each time a new round starts. If the water
balloon drops, but does not break, the participants may pick up the water balloon and continue in the event.
Once the water balloon breaks, that chapter has lost and can no longer toss. The last sorority and last fraternity
standing will be awarded 1st place for the event, second awarded 2nd place, etc. 1st – 4th place will be given
to sororities and 1st to 5th place to fraternities.
Tug O War – 5 participants per chapter
Event starts with brackets which will be chosen at random. The losing teams will compete against each other in
the loser’s bracket, while the winning teams will compete against each other until 1st place is won. The tug o
war rope will have a string tied in the middle. Once the string passes the designated line for either team, the
competition is over. Any use of chalk, gloves, and cleats is permitted. Brackets will be released on Friday,
April 5th.
Three Legged Race – 2 participants per chapter
All sororities will compete in their won obstacle course made by cones to determine their area, followed by all
fraternities. The course will be set up in order to avoid any interference with other teams. 1st to 4th place will be
given to sororities and 1st to 5th place will be given to fraternities.
Human pyramid – 6 participants per chapter
Each fraternity and sorority must choose 6 participants. This will be a timed event. The participating members
will line up facing the judge. When the judge yells “go” the fraternity or sorority to create a pyramid first will
win. The correct pyramid is 3 members at the bottom, two on the second row and one at the top. The fraternity
or sorority must hold their pyramid in correct form for 3 seconds before being declared the winner. The
sororities will be ranked 1st-4th and the fraternities will be ranked 1st-5th with the top 3 of both receiving points.
Hannah Cleef and Matt Kaiser can answer any further questions before to the Olympics begin.

Spelling Bee
There will be 3 participants per chapter.
Each contest will be asked to spell a word from the list previously handed out. If the contestant
spells it wrong they will be out—if the contest spells the word correctly they will move on. You
are allowed to ask for the word in a sentence which will be provided by the proctor, a librarian at
Bryant University. Once it is down to the final three all three will be given a different word and
the first to spell theirs correctly, while the other two must spell theirs incorrectly, will be the
winner. The final two will then compete for second and third. Points will be awarded to the top
three.
Hannah or Matt can answer any further questions before to the tournament begins.

Volleyball
Tournament
There will be 6 participants per chapter.
Fraternities and sororities will compete in six-on-six volleyball. The brackets will be
chosen at random and released on April 5th. It will be a double-elimination
tournament. We are hiring outside referees so any and all calls must be obeyed. Any
display of unsportsmanlike behavior towards the other team or the referees will result
in an immediate DQ – no questions asked.
The team that first scores 15 points with a minimum two-point advantage (no scoring
cap) will win the match. A point will be scored on each rally. If the receiving team
wins the rally, they score 1 point and gain the serve. If the serving team wins the rally,
they score 1 point and maintain the serve.
Hannah and Matt can answer any further questions before to the tournament begins.

PHOTO COMPETITION: OLYMPIC THEME
All chapter members can be included: at minimum 70% of your chapter must be in the photo
This year will be hosting a photo contest for our creative portion of Greek Week. Each
organization will take a funny, dramatic, silly, intense, something that is not the normal
cookie cutter group picture. This will be your chapter’s interpretation of Greek Life on Bryant’s
campus in a single photo. This year Greek Week’s theme is Olympics so we would like you to
incorporate the theme into the photo as well. You may use props of any kind that you feel fit and
are appropriate. The picture must be taken on Bryant’s campus
Photos will be judged by a panel of staff.
Pictures will be judged on:
1.Creativity: 30 Points
2.Use of letters: 20 Points
3.Incorporation of theme: (i.e. Olympics)
Is it easy to tell what your theme is? 20 Points
4.Percentage of chapter involved: 20 Points
The following are a list of things NOT ALLOWED in the photo:
Alcohol or the consumption of it
Profanity in any form
Drugs in any form or the uses of them
Any negative words or actions directed towards another fraternity or sorority
Any negative words or actions directed towards Greek Life in general
Any negative words or actions directed towards Bryant University
Any negative words or actions directed towards specific people or places
If any chapter fails to keep the list above out of the photo
that will be an automatic DQ.
The pictures are due no later than Thursday, April 3rd, at 5pm. Please email the image to Sue
Zarnowski [email protected] by the appropriate time.
Hannah and Matt can answer any further questions before to the event begins.

Relay For Life
Kicking Causes
Relay for life is NOT mandatory. It is highly encouraged and a great way to show greek
support. No one will be taking attendance or counting points for being at the event. However,
the philanthropy “kicking causes” will be part of points for greek week. The chapter who sells
the most boards (percentage wise) will receive 10 extra points to their final score. More
information will be provided by the organization.

Tournament/
Soccer Tournament
Fraternities will compete in a five-on-five basketball tournament. The brackets will
be chosen at random. Winner is the first team who scores 10 points (regular baskets
are one point, three pointers are two points). We are hiring outside referees so any
and all calls must be obeyed. Any display of unsportsmanlike behavior towards the
other team or the referees will result in an immediate DQ – no questions asked.
Sororities will compete in a five-on-five soccer tournament. The brackets will be
chosen at random. The first team to score 4 goals will move on. We are having
volunteer referees so any and all calls must be obeyed. Any display of
unsportsmanlike behavior towards the other team or referees will result in an
immediate DQ- no questions asked.

Life banquet—that will be at a later date. This will be a short reception at 6:30pm in
Papitto/Heritage.
