SigEp, Zeta Tau Alpha capture Greek Olympic titles

Chi Omega and Sigma Phi Epsilon have done it once again. Both Greek organizations won Tug, the main event at Greek Olympics, for the second year in a row.

Overall, Zeta Tau Alpha won Greek Olympics for the sororities with 150 points. SigEp repeated as winners of the five-hour event, also coming in with 150 points.

For Chi Omega, this is their second year shutting out previous 10-year winners Sigma Kappa. As for SigEp, training hard to win tug has become a strong tradition within the fraternity.

They have won tug six out of the last seven years.

“Overall it was a good day,” said DJ Arellano, former SigEp president and seventh-year civil engineering student.

“Our chapter did well.Chapters that usually don’t do well did well so it’s good for competition and the Greek community. [SigEp’s dominance in tug] comes from a lot of dedication and hard work. It just proves that we know what we’re doing and that we dominate.“

Overall, SigEp won every Greek Olympics event besides the secret event, which was credited to Phi Kappa Tau.

Zeta Tau Alpha won the secret and pyramid events.

Sigma Kappa won the beginning relay while Chi Omega won Tug.

Greek Olympics beganas usual with the long relay event that tends to bring out the loudest cheers.

The relay begins with each Greek organization having their fastest runner run the 200-meter sprint.

They the pass off the baton to two of their fellow team members who then run a three-legged race that spans 100 meters.

After the three-legged duos hobble through their part of the race, they hand it off to another team member who does 10 turns around a baseball bat.

The relay continues on to the 10-yard sprint and then the sack race.

The relay ends with each Greek organization’s team member running through tires before they cross the finish line.
