Wednesday of Greek Week sent members of fraternities and sororities to to best each other in a grueling mental match.

The night featured a trivia game created for the week called “Are you Afraid of the ’90s?”

“We decided to start thinking of different TV shows, different movies and music,” said Samantha MacKay, vice president of community development for the Panhellenic Council. “We came up with ‘Oh, are you afraid of the dark?’ and how could we convert that to a name for the event.”

The event consisted of three rounds: pop culture questions about the ’90s, ’90s movies and a game of ‘Minute to Win It.’

The final version of the game was a combination of “Minute to Win It” and trivia because, as Beth Radecki, the creator of the game and graduate assistant for campus events, said, “it was the best of both worlds.”

As the game began, and the proverbial torch was lit, Dexter Earney, an assistant living director and the host of the night, walked on stage and welcomed the Greeks. Although not Greek himself, Earney had no qualms about hosting the event.

“How are all my gods and goddesses?” he said.

It took a few tries, but eventually he got the enthusiasm that he was looking for.

“This is going to be a great audience,” he said.

He continued, making the crowd of participants laugh.

“Don’t get unruly,” he said. “I will start kicking people out.”

The sororities and fraternities were divided into eight teams and had to rotate each member.

Other questions would review all the forgotten facts that they once knew, including where the first season of “The Real World” was filmed and Steve Urkel’s alter ego.

The cheers and jeers rose as the night lingered on.

“This is an intense game,” Earney periodically reminded the Olympiad subjects.

As the night concluded, both participants and the game maker were satisfied with this Greek Week event.

“The event went well overall,” Radecki said. “They had a lot of spirit for the event.”

In the end, the winning teams were Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Sigma Alpha and Alpha Sigma Phi. All teams received 20 points for Greek Week purposes.

Greek Week concluded on Friday with a lip sync event.
