2021 Greek Week at ASU supports local organizations
Every year, sororities and fraternities at ASU participate in Greek Week, a weeklong philanthropy competition that builds community and raises funds for organizations doing incredible work around the Valley and beyond. 

This year’s Greek Week was held in April. ASU fraternity and sorority men and women squared off into teams and engaged in friendly competition to raise money for Valley of the Sun United Way and Amanda Hope Rainbow, perform acts of service for their community and educate themselves on different cultures present in Greek life.

Camrynne Karr has experienced a lot during her time at ASU, and it all led to discovering how she wanted to make a difference in the world. Karr is in her final year at ASU as a sustainability major with a minor in Spanish. Originally from Roseville, California, Karr found community within her sorority, clubs and the School of Sustainability.

Karr joined Kappa Kappa Gamma after two years of not wanting to join a sorority due to the negative stereotypes she had heard. However, after going through the process, she realized that she had picked the right house and was right where she needed to be. 

“The girls who I got to interact with during recruitment were so down to earth and honest that I got a very good feel for the chapter I would be joining. I align very well with the values of our chapter, and I am very happy to say that I made the right decision for me,” Karr said.

Support Fraternity & Sorority Life at ASU

The Greek community, while looking different this year, continues to thrive at ASU, and we ask all alumni to help support the community whenever they can. As a reminder, you can give directly to the community by purchasing a plaque on the legacy wall, which allows you to recognize a fellow alum or graduating student for their leadership in the community.

You can also support students through the Jennifer Hightower Memorial Fund. Established last year to honor late Vice President of Student Services and ASU Chi Omega alumna Jennifer Hightower, the fund supports scholarships for students and the Greek Leadership Community Center and furthers Fraternity and Sorority Life programs at ASU. Contact Gary Ballinger with any questions about how you can help support Greek life.FacebookTwitterInstagram This email was sent to: peter.hovis@gmail.com
