Introdcution Foreword

WELCOME TEAM MEMBERS! Greek Week 2014 is almost here and on behalf of Order of Omega, we would like to express our thanks to all of your members who already have and will be giving their time to make it a success! Underlying philosophy of the Greek Week nurtures a united Greek community by putting our differences aside and focusing on the common ideologies and characteristics of Greek life at the Florida State University. We all must agree to the ideals of leadership, scholarship, friendship, and service within the Greek community through a fun, safe, and engaging environment. It is our hope that by doing this, we are able to foster generations hereon in the same ideals and promote Greek unity through similar endeavors.

This packet contains contact information, schedule of events, guidelines and regulations. If you need another copy, you may access it from our Facebook group “FSU Greek Week Chairs” or from our website on the Office of Greek Life webpage (http://greeklife.fsu.edu/Current- Members/Order-of-Omega). We hope that this packet will be helpful in understanding all that Greek Week 2014 has to offer. Please encourage members of your chapter as well as your team to get involved in as many events as possible. Many members of th e Greek community have put in a lot of time to make this week a great one. Participation is what is going to make Greek Week fun and exciting! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us from any of the contacts listed on the following section.

Thank you once again for your support, and we hope that you are ready for fun!

In Greek Pride and Spirit,

Order of Omega
