Panhellenic Games

The Panhellenic games was the collective term for four separate sports festivals held in Greece. These sports festivals were the Olympics, the Pythian games, the Nemean games, and the Isthmian games.

An example is the death of Maxwell Gruver, a freshman fraternity pledge at Louisiana State University.

At the beginning of my freshman year, I swore to myself that I would never join a sorority. I thought it was weird, cult-like, and that I didn’t need to pay money to have friends. However, here I am, loving and actively participating in Delta Gamma, a sorority that was reestablished at the University of Arkansas this year. When I first joined
