Greek Gauntlet: Let the Games Begin!
 
            Sign-ups for the 2011 UCSB Spring Greek Gauntlet are upon us, giving all fraternities and sororities at UCSB a chance to participate in some healthy Greek competition. It doesn’t matter what athletic level or experience you possess, all you need is an hour on Monday or Tuesday night to spare. The competition will begin this spring quarter with dedicated weekly intramural leagues for all Greek houses to claim their opportunity to participate. With both fraternity and sorority spots reserved for each sport, the houses will be awarded points for wins in each league as well as points for simply participating in more eclectic sports. Each fraternity will have the option of signing up for two competitive sports: outdoor soccer and basketball. Subsequently, these fraternities will get points for participating and winning games in each of these two sports categories. In addition, each sorority will have the option of signing up for one competitive sport: outdoor soccer. The same rules apply to the sororities–each sorority will receive points for participating and winning games. The schedule for the Spring Intramural Sport Leagues is as follows:

Fraternities:
Outdoor Soccer: Monday 7 – 8 pm (MB 2 – League)
Basketball: Tuesday 9 – 10 pm (MA 2 – League)
 
Sororities:
Outdoor Soccer: Tuesday 7 – 8 pm (CA 1 – League)
 
            Registration costs are just $100 for fraternities and $70 for sororities. Registration is located at the UCSB Recreational Sports Office (Rec Cen Room #1110); if you have any questions feel free to call their office at (805)-893-3253. Registration ends April 1st, so be sure to come and sign up today so you don’t miss out on the fun!

Rachel is a senior at UC Santa Barbara and studies Communication and Global Peace and Security. Rachel is from a small, beautiful town in southern California called Palos Verdes. However, Palos Verdes is just one of the many places Rachel has lived. Rachel spent her childhood moving and traveling all over the world, living in places such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Santiago, Chile; Vienna, Austria; and Orlando, Florida. Rachel has found her heart and her home in California, choosing to spend her college years in sunny Santa Barbara. However, Rachel continued her wanderlust when she studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain in Fall 2012. At UCSB, Rachel is an immensely dedicated and involved member of her sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, where she held the positions of Panhellenic Delegate, Inter-Greek Counselor, Rho Gam, and a member of the Nominating Slate. Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is a passion of Rachel's, as she is their Social Media Coordinator as well as an active and proud member. As a member of the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honors Society, Rachel is able to implement her prowess and affinity for communication and communication-related issues. When Rachel is not writing, participating in Kappa events, or volunteering, you can find her in the gym, on the soccer field, watching Modern Family, or cooking. Rachel's love for sports, food, and writing often times go hand-in-hand, as one may see in her weekly blogs. For the past two summers, Rachel has been freelance writing for the Los Angeles Times, and hopes to continue her career pursuit of journalism after she graduates. Rachel is elated to be a part of Her Campus's fabulous team and loves every moment of it!
