Greek Week Dance is about unity because we are all striving for a common goal, said Wolfgang. It brings us together in a competitive situation in which we are not in normally. Junior at Elon Amy Burzotta stated, This year was the toughest competition to date! The winners of Greek Week Dance will win points toward Greek Week and on Sunday, April 21, awards will be handed out to the organizations that earned the most points. Points accumulate with other competitions and games throughout the week.
