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, with this year's theme surrounding Disney's animated film 'Monster's University."
From April 13-17, 2026, FSL, which is the overarching organization overseeing all university-recognized Greek-affiliated fraternities and sororities at EMU, will host competitive events for fundraising and community building. Greek Life at EMU includes the College Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Multicultural Greek Council.
"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 hands-on 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. Non-affiliated students, staff and faculty can also participate as spectators and cheer on their favorite chapters.
"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.

"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, how many members are present and how many total dollars were raised for the SafeHouse Center. Further donation information can be found at the SafeHouse Center's website.
