Thursday, April 21:

• Greek Week Variety Show, 7 p.m. at Schwab Auditorium: Like the Greek Pageant, this event is open to the entire Penn State Community. Featured acts include some of your favorite Penn State performance troupes (RAM Squad is one of the amazing acts). Same deal with tickets – they are free but must be picked up ahead of time at any of the on-campus or downtown ticket offices.

• Greek Week Night out at Mezzanine: Unfortunately, this is only for the 21 and over crowd. If you are of legal age, break out your fabric and spare sheets for this Toga Party down at the Mezz. Sign in anytime after 9 p.m. with members of your triad to earn spirit points. Don’t forget your safety pins!

• Basketball Tournament, 3:30 p.m. at Pollock Quad: Watch out King James, here come the Greeks. From 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. support your triad’s team of three guys and two girls as they shoot their way to victory.

Friday, April 22:

• Chariot Races (Sponsored by Red Bull), 2 p.m. at Frat Row: Hopefully your triad’s chariot can make it down the finish line without falling into pieces. Even if it doesn’t, the chariot races are one of the most entertaining parts of Greek Week. It is free to attend and open to anyone in the Penn State Community. Just be careful of the potential flying wheels and wood parts…. don’t worry, everyone has to wear helmets to keep them safe.

Post-Greek Week Fun:

• Wiz Khalifa Concert Benefitting the Be Easy Paraplegic Fund: After you’ve recovered from your strenuous week of socializing and sporting, head to the Bryce Jordan Center on Tuesday, April 26 at 8 p.m. to see Wiz in concert. Student tickets cost $28.50 and are on sale to the general public now. There are a million versions of “Black and Yellow” – you might as well go see the original and benefit a good cause at the same time.
