Eastern Michigan University Fraternity and Sorority Life gears up for Greek Week

Eastern Michigan University's Fraternity and Sorority Life is set to host a number of daily events for Greek Week, with both current members and non-FSL affiliates encouraged to participate. 

From April 13-17, 2026, FSL, which is the overarching organization overseeing all Greek-affiliated fraternities and sororities at EMU, will host competitive events for fundraising and community building. 

"Students can expect a week of friendly competition, unity, and collaboration across Greek Life, bringing together [the] NPHC, MGC, NPC and IFC organizations," Courtney Himlin said in a written statement to The Eastern Echo. Himlin serves as the public relations chair for the Xi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Sorority. "Greek Week highlights the diversity of our community while fostering connection and campus engagement." 

While non-FSL students cannot participate in most of Greek Week's activities, they can get involved by joining the Fraternity and Sorority Life for a fundraiser, set to take place Wednesday, April 15. 

"We hope that students can see that Greek Life is not just about a bond you form within your own chapter, but a bond with the entire community," AnneFleur Luchies said in a written statement to The Echo. Luchies currently serves as Delta Zeta Gamma Sigma Chapter's vice president of communications.

According to Luchies, the goal of her sorority isn't just to win but to also show up for one another and promote the bond of sisterhood.

EMU FSL's 2026 Greek Week Schedule 

Monday, April 13

The first event for FSL's Greek Week schedule is a dodgeball tournament and inflatable obstacle course, located at the Rec/IM on the third floor basketball courts and lounge April 13 from 5-7 p.m. Students must be part of FSL to participate. Attendees must fill out an FSL Assumption of Risk and Liability form before arriving, provided by each organization's leadership. 

Tuesday, April 14

Attendees interested in philanthropy can offer their service from 5-7 p.m. April 14 in the EMU Student Center rooms 310 B, 301, and the Kiva Room, to help create dog toys and care kits to be donated, with materials provided. Non-FSL members are not allowed to participate. 

Wednesday, April 15

Located on the Student Center Patio from 5-7 p.m., students can choose a fraternity or sorority president to pie in the face. This event is a fundraiser, and proceeds raised will be donated to the SafeHouse Center in Washtenaw County, which offers services and support to survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. Students, both FSL-affiliated and not, are encouraged to join in and donate. 

Thursday, April 16

The last event of Greek Week is a dinner and movie night, where FSL-affiliated members can watch "Monsters University" from 7-9:30 p.m. in the Student Center Auditorium. Students must be part of FSL to participate.

"We [Greek Life] are such a big community full of so many successful and bright college students; it can be hard to find time to connect with others in our community," Melina Moustakeas said, a sister of Tri Sigma Sorority, in a statement to The Eastern Echo. "I truly hope we all make or talk to a new friend, make new connections, and make new memories that last a lifetime."

The week also encourages members of FSL to showcase their pride in their organization for points. Throughout the week, each event will also come with a theme that members of FSL can participate in to earn points for their specific fraternity or sorority, like wearing EMU-themed attire or repping the letters of their organization. 

Points will also be determined by how well members of each organization do during the competitive events, as well as how many members of each fraternity and sorority are present.

For more information on the points breakdown, participants can visit EMU Fraternity and Sorority Life's Instagram page, @emufsl.

Those interested in getting involved with Fraternity and Sorority Life at EMU can find additional information on the organizations and their many affiliates through the group's page on the EMU website.
