TGI Greek, Greek Week 2009 lead sponsor
The Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils are excited to announce the official sponsor of Greek Week 2009: TGI Greek. TGI is a leader in providing apparel and promotional products to fraternities and sororities. TGI believes in making their clients look great!
Teams
Each chapter will take part in events as a chapter, not paired with another chapter as in homecoming. Two dividisions will be hosted, a soroity division and a fraternity division.
2009 Greek Spirit Items
You may not be aware Greek Week is 100% independently funded. That's why the sponsorship of TGI is so important to us! Too, it's important we have the support and sponsorship of you and your sisters/brothers. The official Greek Week 2009 spirit item is a purple wristband embossed with "be you. be greek." (like the popular "Live strong" bracelets).
Wristbands will cost $6.00 each (a decrease from last year's spirit item) and may be purchased in the Greek Affairs office. Purchasing a wristband earns Greek Week points for your chapter and allows you free lunch in Water's Quad Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as well as free access to Greek Olympics and Greek Idol! Your purchase is totally worth it!
Chapters may pre-order Greek Week 2009 wristbands in the Greek Affairs Office until Friday, April 10 at noon. (Download the order form.) It is preferred each chapter submit their order with one check from the chapter treasury. All pre-ordered wristbands must be picked up in Greek Affairs by Friday, April 10 at noon.
New Member Council All-Greek T-Shirt
As part of the Greek Week 2009 celebration, the New Member Council has gotten onboard and is selling a All-Greek T-shirt. Shirts cost $10.00 each and may be purchased in the Greek Affairs office or at any of the Greek Week events. Unfortunately these shirts do not gain you free access to any of the events or earn your chapter Greek Week points, but you will look great in them!
TGI Greek
All Greek Week 2009 Spirit items have been purchased through TGI, our official sponsor, and secured at special pricing just for K-State! TGI will be at Greek Idol on Wednesday night, April 15, to share with you about an exciting opportunity they have for your chapter's Homecoming 2009 products. Don't miss seeing TGI's new products!
