The 2013 Greek Week theme is “Tradition”. Greek Week is a tradition that has been taking place for many years at Duquesne University, and it’s one in which many of the Greek organizations are proud to participate.  It’s an event where Greek organizations are able to come together to compete against one another to become Greek Week champs!  During the week, the Greek community takes part in Greek Games which include tug of war, dizzy bat, pyramid, relay races and more!  Later in the week, there is a dodge ball tournament. There is also a Greek God and Goddess where one member from each fraternity and sorority participates in a pageant which helps raise thousands of dollars for a great charity. Continue reading →

The annual Greek Leadership Retreat was held on Sunday, February 3 and was a huge success! Representatives from each social sorority and fraternity were in attendance to learn about the importance of ethical leadership, diversity, team building, and leadership styles. The retreat was led entirely by Duquesne Greek Life Alumni and seniors. It was an important and educational experience for our student leaders. The retreat ended with students making photo contributions to the MTV and Brittany Snow “Love is Louder” campaign which benefits the mental and physical health of college students.

Recruitment has been completed for both sororities and fraternities here at Duquesne! Our annual event, Meet the Greeks, was in the Union Ballroom on Jan. 9, 2013, with a record 90 men in attendance.
