Iowa State University
Greek Week 2023 Rulebook:
March 26th – April 2nd
Empowering the
Community
1
The Sorority and Fraternity Community at Iowa State is full of friendships, pride, and
traditions. One of the oldest lasting traditions is Greek Week. Greek Week gives the
members of the Sorority and Fraternity Community an opportunity to come together
and celebrate for a week of friendly competitions, events, and awards. During Greek
Week, it is expected that all chapters compete with enthusiasm, integrity, respect,
and pride.
Active participation in Greek Week is voluntary and is limited to those who are listed
on each chapter‘s roster. All participants MUST complete the Greek Week waiver in
order to participate in any Greek Week event.
Those outside of the Sorority and Fraternity Community are encouraged to attend the
planned events and competitions, but competition is limited to Sorority and Fraternity
members only.
All Rules are subject to interpretation by Greek Week Central with final say
designated to the Executive Directors and The Office of Sorority and Fraternity
Engagement Staff. Executive Directors reserve the right to change any rule prior to
any event, notice will be provided in writing to chapters for any rule change.
Note: Greek Week is a student-led initiative. Please remember you are representing
the Sorority and Fraternity Community, Iowa State University, and the greater Ames
community. We expect to see our community values in action at all times. Greek
Week Central wishes you a week full of fun and friendly competition. Best of luck!

behavior in alignment with their assignment of being alcohol-prohibited,
alcohol-restricted, or alcohol-permitted.
3. Chapters without a facility are subject to the rules and regulations of their local

federal law, and the premises which they are on at any given time.
4. Organizations may register functions. All functions must be registered
appropriately (e.g. The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement). Any
function found to be unregistered may result in one or more chapters being
charged as such through their respective council or the university. All event
registration rules apply regardless of alcohol involvement or not.
5. Teams that host unregistered events at the conclusion of Greek Week are still
subject to point deductions and if necessary, will be required to forfeit any titles

influence of drugs at a Greek Week event, any member of Greek Week
Central may ask that individual to leave.

team, documentation must be submitted in writing (emailed to gwced@iastate.com) to

current total Greek Week point accumulation of the respective team (discretion of the
Greek Week Executive Directors and SFE Staff).

appropriate university departments who will conduct their own investigations, including
but not limited to: Title IX, Equal Opportunity, and the Office of Student Conduct.

retroactively deduct points from the team’s total score, including revocation of awards
presented at Greek Week awards.
15. Example violations of this policy would include inappropriate “themes” for Lip Sync

Greek Week 2023 Information
Waivers:
Online waivers will be utilized for participation in this Greek Week 2023. If participants
do not have their waiver completed by the time of an event, they will not be able
to participate in that event. If Lip Sync participants do not have their waiver
completed by the time of the team CY Stephen’s run through, they will not be
able to participate in Lip Sync. No late waivers will be accepted after that time.
Electronic Rosters:
The Chapter’s Odysseus roster will be used to determine participation counts and dues
for all active members (study abroad and other circumstances should be noted in
Odysseus). Chapter Presidents and Team Co-Chairs will receive an email on February
5th reminding them to update Odysseus by Friday, February 10th at 5:00 PM. After
5:00 PM Friday, February 10th, Odysseus rosters will be final (i.e. no amendments will
be made, no exceptions will be granted). If a new member signs a bid of membership
after the deadline, they may be added to the team’s roster by notifying
gwced@iastate.edu and gwcfiscal@iastate.edu of their addition. The chapter will be
charged for the addition of new members at the original per-member dues fee. Note:
the check in computer system at Greek Week events will only accept those with “active”
identification on the respective chapters’ Odysseus roster.
Dues:
Chapters will be charged dues according to the posted Odysseus roster as of 5:00 PM
on February 10th. After this time, additions to the roster will be charged a 25% late fee.
No refunds will be granted to chapters. Dues shall be turned in to the Fiscal Director’s
mailbox in the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement by Friday, Feb 24th at 5:00
PM. Dues turned in after February 24th at 5:00PM are subject to a 10% late fee.
Checks are the ONLY accepted payment form. Please make checks out to Iowa State
Greek Week. For a chapter to participate in Greek Week events, a full payment of dues
must be made by Sunday March 26th (late fees will still apply).
Safety:
Safety is a priority for Greek Week Central. We ask that all participants use caution
while competing in Greek Week events. Additionally, Greek Week Central asks that all
spectators view events in a manner that is safe for both them and the participants. If
spectators must move in order to ensure their safety or the safety of the participants
Greek Week Central will ask them to move. Failure to abide with Central’s request may
result in point deductions or other consequences. Examples of this include but are not
limited to: sitting on chapter facility roofs, riding on top or on the back of cars or trucks,
and hanging out of windows.

Point Breakdown
For each scoring section, the team’s points earned in that section is evaluated as
a percentage of the best scoring team. That percentage will then be multiplied by
the maximum possible points in the section to find the team’s score. (ex. If Team
A earned 180 of the 270 points possible in spirit events and the best scoring team
in the spirit section earned 200, Team A would have earned 90% of the best team’s
score. Therefore, Team A would have a resulting score of 243 for spirit and Team
B would have a resulting score of 270 = the worth of the spirit section.)

Olympics
Information:
Greek Olympics is a day to culminate the Greek spirit we have been celebrating
throughout Greek Week. Sportsmanship is required at all events. Any instance
where Greek Week Central feels the spirit of Greek Olympics is being challenged by
unsportsmanlike conduct, Greek Week Central reserves the right to disqualify and
remove from the competition area anyone who is not complying to the ideals of Greek
Week and Greek Olympics. Safety is of the utmost concern throughout the day; at any
time safety is in question, Greek Week Central reserves the right to intervene on the
behavior and actions. This includes, but is not limited to, sitting on roofs of chapter
facilities, hanging out of windows, crossing the street during events, and participating in
reckless activity.
Sportsmanship:
• The Sportsmanship Policy will be utilized during all Greek Week events,
including Olympics.
• Any behavior not conveying a positive experience for ALL attendees will result in a
warning to the team
• A second incident will result in the team’s loss of points to the team’s total
point value.
• A third incident will result in the team’s disqualification from Greek Week Olympics.
Safety:
Spectator safety is a main priority for Greek Week Central. We wish to ensure all
spectators view events in the safest way possible. All spectators are required to view
events from ground level or behind closed windows inside chapter facilities. There will
be zero tolerance for spectators viewing from chapter roofs, hanging out of windows,
etc. Chapters are permitted to have spectators view from inside their own facilities, but
they must abide by the guidelines listed above. Greek Week Central requires this for
the safety of the spectators and the liability of each chapter. Chapters unwilling to abide
by these guidelines will receive a 5-point deduction from their respective
team’s overall Greek Olympics total points.
In the event of inclement weather on April 1st, all events that day will
be postponed until April 2nd. Each event will still be at the same time
and location.

Keynote
Date & Time: Tuesday, March 28 2023 at 5:30 - 6:30 PM
Location: CY Stephens Auditorium
Information:
In the past, Greek Week has hosted an educational speaker that speaks directly to
the struggles, triumphs, and benefits or sorority and fraternity membership. This year,
we wanted to expand this keynote speaker to the Iowa State community. Greek
Week Central has invited Evan Austin, a Paralympic swimmer to speak about
sacrifice, failure, and resilience.
Regulations:
Members of the sorority and fraternity community will be required to check in for this
event fortheir attendance to be counted towards their team's points. There will be
designated check-in stations with Greek Week Central for members. If members
choose not to check in to the event, they forfeit their attendance points that go
towards their team. Doors will be open at 5:00 PM.
Teams can earn up to 130 points through their members' attendance at the Keynote
event. Points will be awarded based on number of attendees relative to the team
size. Maximum points will be earned if 50 percent of the team members are in
attendance. If less than 50 percent of a team is in attendance, points will
be calculated by taking the number in attendance divided by half of the total team.
This percentage will be multiplied by the 130 points possible, and that number will be
awarded to the team.
EXAMPLE: Team A has 200 total members and 50 members of their team attend the
keynote event. The 50 attendees are divided by half of the team's total membership
(100). This number is then multiplied by the 130 possible points. 65 points would then
be awarded to Team A.

Information:
Greek Week Crew/Captains are required to remain disaffiliated from their chapter and team
during the entirety of Greek Week activities.
Any member of the Sorority and Fraternity Community may apply for Greek Week Crew,
except for Chapter Co-Chairs. If an individual is interviewed, is selected to be on Greek Week
Crew, and they accept the position, ten (10) points per individual member will be given to the
team. If an individual is interviewed, is selected to be on Greek Week Crew, but he or she
rejects the offer, the individual WILL NOT receive points for their team. This totals to ten (10)
points per selected member. Each team may earn a maximum of fifty (50) points for
interviews, regardless of the number that apply, are interviewed, or are selected. If every
chapter in a team has a member apply for Greek Week Crew, that team will receive 20
additional points. If there are one or more chapters in a team that does not have a member
apply for Greek Week Crew, that team will not earn any of the 20 possible points. Including
interview points and application points, the maximum points a team can be awarded is 70
points. Participants who sign up to participate in an interview for Greek Week Crew and fail to
attend their interviewed scheduled, will cause a 10-point deduction for their team per offense.

team are as follows:
