On Friday, Oct. 28, the University’s Greek community will host the 12th annual Greek or Treat event in Walnut Park from 3-5:30 p.m. Children from the local community, as well as the children of all SU faculty and staff members, are invited to enjoy an evening of fun activities and safe trick-or-treating.
Sorority members paint faces during a previous Greek or Treat event.
At each of the 12 houses surrounding Walnut Park, members of the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, Multicultural Greek Council and Professional Fraternity Council will be facilitating activities such as face painting, musical chairs and toilet paper mummy wrapping.
“It’s always great to see the members of our Greek community come together to put on such a wonderful event,” says Daniel Hoddinott, a graduate assistant in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. “Our students get so excited and do their best to make Greek or Treat a fun, safe evening for the kids. We hope more members of the University community will come enjoy the festivities this year!”
Children participating will be provided with a treat bag from the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs and are encouraged to wear costumes, although it is not required. Waiver forms will be available at the event and need to be signed before children can participate. For more information, please contact Hoddinott at dnhoddin@syr.edu.
