Each Chapter participating in Greek Week must have representation at the following roundtable meetings. It is preferable that each Chapter select a Greek Week Chair, who will consistently represent the Chapter at all Greek Week Roundtables. If the Greek Week Chair cannot attend a roundtable, it is their responsibility to notify a member of the Greek Week Planning Committee. In addition, the Chapter would be required to send an assistant or other Chapter representative in his/her place. If a chapter does not have a representative in attendance at a Greek Week Roundtable, their respective team will receive a 10 point deduction.

Toy Story: Gamma Phi Beta, Theta Chi, Phi Kappa Theta, Beta Gamma Nu If unfamiliar with these films, please read the synopses below: The Avengers: Marvel Studios delivers the ultimate comic-book film, which ties together such characters as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) for a bigscreen franchise team-up like no other. Taking center stage this time is Nick Fury (played once again by the noteperfect Samuel L. Jackson), leader of the peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury, along with former Russian spy Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), recruits a super team to combat Thor's ever-deceptive brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) after he brainwashes ace archer Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) while stealing a cosmic cube from an underground base. Thus the heroes must learn to work together alongside outlaw scientist Bruce Banner (Ruffalo), who can track down the artifact's gamma signals when he's not hulking out into a giant green monster. Show runner Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly) adapted and helmed the script by Zak Penn. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi The Breakfast Club: John Hughes wrote and directed this quintessential 1980s high school drama featuring the hottest young stars of the decade. Trapped in a day-long Saturday detention in a prison-like school library are Claire, the princess (Molly Ringwald); Andrew, the jock (Emilio Estevez); John, the criminal (Judd Nelson); Brian, the brain (Anthony Michael Hall); and Allison, the basket case (Ally Sheedy). These five strangers begin the day with nothing in common, each bound to his/her place in the high school caste system. Yet the students bond together when faced with the villainous principal (Paul Gleason), and they realize that they have more in common than they may think, including a contempt for adult society. "When you grow up, your heart dies," Allison proclaims in one of the film's many scenes of soul-searching, and, judging from the adults depicted in the film, the teen audience may very well agree. Released in a decade overflowing with derivative teen films, The Breakfast Club has developed an almost cult-like status. ~ Dylan Wilcox, Rovi 3 Caddyshack: At an exclusive country club for WASPish snobs, an ambitious young caddy (Michael O'Keefe) from an overpopulated home eagerly pursues a caddy scholarship in hopes of attending college and, in turn, avoiding a job at the lumber yard. In order to succeed, he must first win the favor of the elitist Judge Smails (Ted Knight), then the caddy golf tournament which the good judge sponsors. Of course, there are love interests as well -- one good, one naughty -- not to mention several foes he must vanquish along the way. The story itself serves to string along a series of slapstick scenes involving an obnoxious nouveau riche land developer (Rodney Dangerfield) who wants to turn the site into a condominium community; an oddball, Zen-quoting, millionaire slacker/golf ace (Chevy Chase); and a psychotic groundskeeper (Bill Murray) with a gopher-fixation. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi Grease: "Grease," said the poster and the Barry Gibb song, "is the word." Transferring its setting from Chicago to sunny California, and adding a dash of disco to the ersatz '50s score, producer Allan Carr and director Randal Kleiser turned this long-running Jim Jacobs-Warren Casey Broadway smash into the biggest blockbuster of 1978. 1950s teens Danny (John Travolta) and Australian transfer Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) spend their "Summer Nights" falling in love, but once fall comes, it's back to Rydell High and its cliques. As one of the bad-boy T-Birds, Danny has to act cool for best pal Kenickie (Jeff Conaway) and their leather-clad mates Sonny (Michael Tucci) and Doody (Barry Pearl, in the role Travolta played on-stage). Despite befriending Frenchy (Didi Conn), one of the rebel Pink Ladies, virginal Sandy is "too pure to be Pink," as the Ladies' leader, Rizzo (Stockard Channing), acidly observes. Declaring their devotion in such ballads as "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "Sandy," Sandy and Danny split, reconcile, and split again amidst a pep rally, dances, drive-ins, and a drag race, before deciding "You're the One That I Want" at the climactic carnival. With Travolta white-hot from Saturday Night Fever (1977), Grease soundtrack singles climbed the charts and summer movie crowds poured in. With the presence of Joan Blondell, Eve Arden, Sid Caesar, Edd "Kookie" Byrnes, and Frankie Avalon appealing to grown-up memories, Grease became the highest-grossing film of 1978, the highest-grossing movie musical ever, and the third most popular film of the new blockbuster '70s after Star Wars (1977) and Jaws (1975). ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi The Great Gatsby: An aspiring writer falls under the spell of an aloof millionaire with designs for the young scribe's unhappily married cousin in director Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's celebrated novel. It's the spring of 1922, and wide-eyed Midwesterner Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) has just moved to New York City in pursuit of the American Dream. Settling into a home next door to wealthy Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), Carraway grows increasingly fascinated by the elaborate parties held at his new neighbor's estate. Meanwhile, across the bay, Carraway's cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) flounders in her marriage to philandering aristocrat Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). Inspired by the debauchery on display at Gatsby's wild parties and the lives of the wealthy elite, Carraway begins putting pen to paper as it gradually becomes clear that his cousin and the millionaire share a complicated romantic past that remains unresolved. Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, and Elizabeth Debicki co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi 4 The Sandlot: The Sandlot is sparsely narrated by the main character (now an adult) who occasionally drops in on the action to comment on events or help move the story along. Tom Guiry plays Scotty Smalls, the shy new kid on the block who wants to join the rowdy pickup baseball team that plays every day in the neighborhood sandlot. But he doesn't know how to catch a baseball, and his stepfather (Dennis Leary) is too busy to teach him. He tries out for the sandlot gang anyway, and though he isn't very good, it turns out he's lucky: there happen to be only eight of them, and nine makes a team. The summer passes blissfully as Scotty learns to play ball under the wing of Benny Rodriguez (Mike Vitar), the oldest and best player, as well as Ham, Squints, Repeat, and the rest of the kideccentrics. The skies darken, however, when Benny literally knocks the stuffing out of the team's only baseball, a sign of impending doom, or worse, bad luck. Wanting to set things right, Scotty returns home and "borrows" his stepfather's ball, which he promptly uses to hit his first home run, knocking the ball clear out of the sandlot into mean old Mr. Mertle (James Earl Jones)'s junkyard, home to Mertle's legendary guard dog The Beast. Scotty admits that he took the ball without asking, and he naively explains that his stepfather will want it back since it had a woman's name written on it: some lady named Babe Ruth. Horror-stricken, the sandlot gang mobilizes to fetch the autographed ball from the clutches of The Beast. ~ Anthony Reed, Rovi Top Gun: Devil-may-care navy pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for advanced training. Here he vies with Tom Kasansky (Val Kilmer) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. When not so occupied, Mitchell carries on a romance with civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). Shaken up by the death of a friend, Mitchell loses the Top Gun honor to Kasansky. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy planes. The story wasn't new in 1986, but Top Gun scored with audiences on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences. Toy Story: Toy Story was the first feature-length film animated entirely by computer. If this seems to be a sterile, mechanical means of moviemaking, be assured that the film is as chock-full of heart and warmth as any Disney cartoon feature. The star of the proceedings is Woody, a pull-string cowboy toy belonging to a wide-eyed youngster named Andy. Whenever Andy's out of the room, Woody revels in his status as the boy's number one toy. His supremacy is challenged by a high-tech, space-ranger action figure named Buzz Lightyear, who, unlike Woody and his pals, believes that he is real and not merely a plaything. The rivalry between Woody and Buzz hilariously intensifies during the first half of the film, but when the well-being of Andy's toys is threatened by a nasty next-door neighbor kid named Sid -- whose idea of fun is feeding stuffed dolls to his snarling dog and reconstructing his own toys into hideous mutants -- Woody and Buzz join forces to save the day. Superb though the computer animation may be, what really heightens Toy Story are the voice-over performances by such celebrities as Tom Hanks (as Woody), Tim Allen (as Buzz), and Don Rickles (as an appropriately acerbic Mr. Potato Head). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi 5 GREEK WEEK COMPETITION RULES ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.

Jess explores the idea of inspiring our members and the people around us to adopt our cause and understand our passion. During her junior year of college, Jess started her own business “Headbands of Hope” and has since been featured on the Today Show as well as other notable publications. She is the CEO of her company. The company sells headbands and for each one sold, one is donated to a child with cancer and $1 is donated to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. She travels across the nation visiting hospitals and delivering these headbands to children. Before she got the inspiration for her business she interned at Disney World and then with Make a Wish Foundation. These sparked the idea within her when she would see how little interest children had in wearing wigs. With headbands the girls and boys can be one step closer to tackling the struggle of fighting cancer. By finding this spark and being inspired to go after anything that she set her mind to, she now speaks to groups and campuses about how important it is, for us as leaders in our communities, to get others on board for the changes we are hoping to see. Her inspiring story and message, we hope, will inspire freshman to seniors and everyone in between. With graduation close behind Greek Week this year, Jess will encourage them to follow their dreams and to find new found passion in the paths that they will be taking. As a component of this program we will be having a speaker from likely each council of our community to share their experiences with service, philanthropy and inspirations they have found through their fraternity and sorority experience. Interested student speakers must submit a completed Student Speaker Form, which must include a copy of your speech, due Friday, April 3, 2015 at 5:00pm online under forms on the Colorado State Fraternity and Sorority Life website. 21 2015 GREEK WEEK Wear ‘em Wednesdays Wednesday, April 22, 2015 All day until 6:00pm On Campus This will be held throughout the day on the Wednesday of Greek Week. This is the traditional wear your letter and take pictures and post them to social media, however for Greek Week we are having the competition around our theme. So we will be counting members of the community that are wearing their Greek Week shirts that are unique for their teams. The hashtag will be #wearemwednesdays like usual and there will be new accounts created for the week that must be tagged in order to receive points. It is also important to include the chapters of the members that are present in the photos or the team name for clarity. Further logistics for tagging on this day will come in the future. This should go without saying, however, having much of the fraternity and sorority community wearing their Greek Week shirts on campus on the same day it is important that everyone is representing our community in a respectful way. This week is about unity and being proud of our individual organizations as well as our community as a whole and that requires everyone. 22 2015 GREEK WEEK Lipsync and Jeopardy Wednesday, April 22, 2015 7:00pm-9:00pm (Doors Open at 6:30pm) Lincoln Center Lipsync The LipSync competition allows Greek Week Teams to choreograph a dance routine that portrays the general theme of Greek Week, while focusing on the individual team themes as well.
