Go Greek!
Each year, representatives from all Fraternity and Sorority chapters combine efforts and work together to host a community-wide event known as Go Greek! This event features live entertainment, exciting attractions, and a variety of student food favorites for attendees to enjoy as they learn more about the Greek Community at Bucknell.
Dance Marathon
Over 500 members of the Greek community participated in Bucknell's 2nd annual Dance Marathon this past November. Students danced through the evening while raising $20,877 for Children's Miracle Network at Geisinger and Gesinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital.
BeYou-tiful Week
In honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week this past February, Panhellenic Council hosted "BeYou-tiful Week" as a way to promote healthy attitudes among Bucknell Women and celebrate body positivity on campus. This weeklong series of free events involved a viewing of the film "Miss Representation", a private yoga class, and an invitation for students to put a personal touch on a Selfie Wall erected just for the occasion.
