UConn celebrated Greek Week on campus recently and here’s a look at one of the events, Greek Games, which took place in South last week!

Brothers of Lambda Alpha Upsilon find their stride on the final stretch of the three legged race.

Sisters of Kappa Phi Lambda intensely focus on a game of Candelier.

 A brother of Alpha Epsilon Pi walks blindly as his team mates must guide him through an obstacle course.

Brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi and sisters of Pi Beta Phi watch a shoe narrowly miss the table.

In the “Shoe Fly Shoe” event, participants had to fling their shoes onto a table as fast as they could.

Gwynedd Arbury, a sister of Pi Beta Phi, celebrates as she finishes first in the Popcorn Cup race.

Teams comprised of Greek sororities and fraternities gather in the South Quad on Sunday, March 27th for the final event of Greek Week, the Greek Games!

Bridget is a senior at the University of Connecticut majoring in journalism and anthropology. Between interning at The Hartford Courant/Fox CT and a nonprofit education agency during the week, she manages a website she founded about cooking quick, healthy meals for college students, and writes for Examiner.com about creating low-budget meals. She is a campus rep for BaubleBar jewelry, and served as a peer mentor to freshmen this year. Bridget studied abroad in London, and interned at a lifestyle magazine over the summer in Shanghai, China. Her free time is dedicated to scouring the Internet for discount designer shoes and following UConn and Boston sports. She's training for a half marathon this spring, which (at times) justifies her weakness for mint chocolate chip ice cream. She hopes to see every inch of the world someday, and maybe write about it too.
