If you happened to drive through Greek Row on Sunday, Mar. 26, you would have seen a crowd of people and fraternity and sorority <a href="http://www.sportswearclearance.com">http://www.sportswearclearance.com</a> houses decorated with props. Fraternity and sororities teamed up to perform house skits to kickoff Greek Week.

Nine teams participated in the event and performed skits that were based on this year’s theme “Let the Games Begin.”

Emily Heinlein, a member of Alpha Delta Pi, was Princess Lolli in a skit that was based off the popular board game Candy Land. Alpha Delta Pi teamed up with Pi Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Phi to help write and perform the skit.

Heinlein, a sophomore psychology major, said her team had the script ready for their skit for almost three weeks and spent a week and a half rehearsing the skit.

One of the requirements for the skits was that they had to be no more than three minutes in length. Heinlein said that compressing <a href="http://www.authenticsportswearsale.com">http://www.authenticsportswearsale.com</a> the game of Candy Land into three minutes was a challenge but was something the team wanted to do.

“Three minutes to get the whole story of Candy Land is very difficult,” Heinlein said. “We had a couple of different options, but Candy Land was definitely our first. I think it’s something we all played during our childhood and was a big, memorable kind of thing.”

Heinlein said she thought the subject gave the group a lot to work with when writing a script.

“It was something we could use a lot for,” Heinlein said. “It was a very versatile theme I think.”

Some skits were based off the “Amazing Race” and the Olympics. One skit saw the Disney hero Hercules take on the Disney villain Maleficent in a game of chess.

Another skit combined characters from the popular video game “Super Mario Brothers.” Andrew Davis, a marketing research major, said that he’s never acted before but wasn’t a stranger to getting in front of groups.

“I’ve never done any kind of acting <a href="http://www.sportswearclearance.com">Nike Air Max 90 Online Cheap</a> before, but I’ve had experience with doing stuff in front of a lot of people in public,” Davis, a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon, said. “I do Greek Jam every year, and I did Yell Like Hell, and I helped choreographed for (Yell Like Hell) as well.”

Davis, who played Mario’s brother Luigi in the skit, said he didn’t help come up with the idea for the skit but thought there was a lot to do with it.

“It seemed like there was a lot of flexibility with what we could do with it. It seemed pretty unique, and we thought we could get pretty creative with it,” Davis said.

Davis said that he enjoyed the opportunity of getting to work with other fraternities and sororities on campus and taking advantages of the opportunities it presented.

“Honestly, it’s amazing,” Davis said. “It’s one of the best opportunities I’ve ever had to get a lot of involvement because there’s so many different opportunities like Greek Week, with Homecoming and just with our chapter in general.”

Each team had a large group of people to perform to. The audience moved from house to house to watch the different teams perform their skits.

“It’s fun to see their hard <a href="http://www.sportwearoutlet.com">Men Air Max 90 Cheap</a> work paying off,” Morrow said. “It’s awesome to see them do really well and having fun.”
