Greekfest 2005

Busy week ahead for greek community


This year’s Greekfest events, a week long celebration of greek life at UTM, will benefit local chapters of the American Red Cross.

All events are open to the public.

The week began yesterday with a “Jail & Bail” fundraiser, where fraternity and sororities chose participants to be “arrested” and held for “bail” money to benefit the ARC.

In addition to “Greek Night,” UT Federal Credit Union will be sponsoring various prize giveaways throughout the evening. Tipoff for the women’s game is at 5:30 p.m. Admission is free to all UTM students with ID.

Following the game Thursday, Lip Sync begins at 10 p.m in Skyhawk Fieldhouse. Admission is $3.
