20 Sep 2015 UCA Greek Village

Greek alumnae recently returned to the University of Central Arkansas to have an old-fashioned sleepover in the newly constructed Greek Village.

The event is one of several commemorating the opening of the Greek residences for sororities — Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Zeta, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Sigma Tau and Sigma Sigma Sigma.

Approximately 200 alumnae from as far away as North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and Virginia came back to campus for the sleepover. They represented pledge classes ranging from the 1960s to 2014.

Each sorority hosted different activities for the Greek alumnae including dinner, gift bag drawings, painting and cosmetic shows. Alumnae at each residence also received a special guest. “Welcome home!” shouted UCA President Tom Courtway as he visited each of the residences. “We are thrilled you are back.”

Chapter rooms for the four National Pan-Hellenic Council sororities — Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. — were also constructed as part of the Greek Village project.
