The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life announced the pairings for this year's Greek Week, the annual event that showcases the UCF Greek system and celebrates all of the organizations' traditions and accomplishments.

This year's festivities will take place from April 3-8 and will feature 10 randomly assigned teams of three or five Greek organizations. This year's groupings include:

Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Beta Sigma; Alpha Epsilon Phi, Delta Gamma, Lambda Chi Alpha, Theta Chi and Mu Sigma Upsilon; Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Upsilon, FIJI and Iota Phi Theta; Chi Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Omega Psi Phi and Zeta Phi Beta; Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, Lambda Sigma Upsilon and Alpha Kappa Alpha; Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Theta Phi and Delta Phi Lambda; Kappa Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Lambda Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho; Kappa Kappa Gamma, Sigma Chi and Delta Sigma Theta; Pi Beta Phi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Nu and Alpha Phi Alpha; Zeta Tau Alpha, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Lambda Theta Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi.

The Diversified Greek, Interfraternity, National Pan-Hellenic and Panhellenic Councils are all represented in the Greek Week groupings.

Applications are currently available for the Greek Week committee and can be picked up from the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in Room 154 of the Student Union. They are due no later than Jan. 25.

Fraternity recruitment starts off on Jan. 20 with the fraternity forum outside the Student Union. The event, which lasts three days, serves as an information session for would-be male Greeks.

Fraternity kickoff will take place on Jan. 23 and 24 at 7:30 p.m., and, while the location has yet to be determined, the event will offer for two nights for possible new members to get a better idea of what joining a Greek organization entails.

The actual recruitment lasts from Jan. 25-27 and will take place at Lake Claire and at the fraternity houses on Greek Park.

Greek Council has announced the arrival of a new staff adviser Lindi Smedberg, who is a UCF graduate and alumna of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. She is also currently serving as a graduate adviser for Greek Affairs at Rollins College and has served as a graduate assistant for orientation at UCF as well.
