Over the years many activities and traditions have been established and lost, but Greek life has always played an integral part during this week. Panhellenic sororities and Interfraternity Council fraternities pair up and compete in activities throughout the week to gain points. At the end of the week, the group with the most points is announced the winner during halftime of the Homecoming game.
This year there were twelve catergories in which Greek groups competed. These competitions as well as partipation in activities earned points toward the overall win.
The winners for 2011 were as follows:
