Meet our 2011 Beneficiaries

Each year the Greek Week Steering Committee selects local organizations to award the money that is raised during Greek Week. This year, the Steering Committee worked hard to narrow all the great beneficiary applications down to our final 14. All the Greek Week 2011 beneficiaries are great causes, and we couldn't be happier with our choices. So, here is a closer look at this year's recipients.

Greek Week Steering Committee Retreat

The Greek Week Steering Committee put in a lot of hard work over the weekend of February 4th and 5th at their Retreat. They spent time choosing our 14 deserving beneficiaries as well as our theme for the year. On top of that, they were given the opportunity to volunteer at the Central Missouri Food Bank, where they bagged a record 10,102 lbs of cake mix!

Welcome!

Welcome to the University of Missouri Office of Greek Life BLOG. We will have updates, information, personal accounts, pictures, and more from the daily goings-on of the students in the fraternities and sororities at Mizzou.

The Greek community at the University of Missouri makes up more than 20% of the student body population. There are over 50 organizations representing the Interfraternity Council, the Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, and the Panhellenic Association. The students strive to uphold the community's four core values of scholarship, leadership, service, and sisterhood/brotherhood.
