Adrian College Celebrates Greek Week updated 4/29/09
Greek organizations help local family; 2009 awards given

ADRIAN, Mich. - Adrian College Greek Life recently celebrated Greek Week 2009 with its eight fraternities and sororities. During this week, the organizations fundraised for a local family who lost their home due to a fire near the College campus a few weeks ago.

The organizations combined have raised over $1,200 in the past two weeks. They continue to help this family as the College’s chapter of Alpha Phi will be hosting a car wash today, Monday April 27, at the Midas located at the corner of M-52 and Beecher St. from noon to 4 P.M. (UPDATE: Alpha Phi raised almost $220 dollars at the car wash, bringing the total to $1,430.)
