Greek members have a chance to win $1,000 for their organization by attending athletic events as part of Greek Challenge.

Hosted by Intercollegiate athletics, Greek Challenge has Greek organizations compete for the highest attendance records at games to get the grand prize, said David Theby, promotions intern for the department.

“Greek organizations are a great way to show school spirit and athletics do the exact same thing — bring people together,” Theby said.

The Greek organization with the highest average participation and total number of attendees will win the grand prize, which goes toward the organization’s general fund, he said.

Theby said more attendance at athletic games can bolster the home field advantage for the teams and help win them the game with their support.

Greek organizations have nine opportunities from January to March to participate in the event. The first game is Wednesday at the men’s basketball game against Central Michigan. The game is at 7 p.m. in the Stroh Center.
