The Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils at Elon University have been preparing themselves for several months, practicing multiple times per week, for one big event that knows how to attract a crowd: the Greek Week dance competition.
At this event, the fraternities and sororities on campus compete against each other through choreographed dances, each with different themes such as "Clique," "The '90s" and "Freak Show."
The winning sorority for this year’s Greek Week dance competition was Sigma Kappa, followed by Zeta Tau Alpha and Phi Mu. Sigma Kappa’s theme was "Freak Show." Each girl was wearing black tops with leggings — one half solid black, the other white and black squares — and the crowd was cheering non-stop.
“It feels amazing. We worked so hard and we had some great heads who were helping us," said sophomore Kiley Shannon, member of Sigma Kappa. "It was honestly just amazing. It was like a dream.”
The winner for the fraternities was Sigma Chi, followed by Beta Theta Pi and Delta Upsilon. Sigma Chi’s theme was the "Jabberwockies." They were all dressed in black, wearing white masks and black hats to accompany a creative choreography.
“How does it feel to win?" said freshman Nicholas Disa, a member of Sigma Chi. "It feels like I need to win every single year of the rest of my life, and come back to Elon after I graduate and win again.”
