Many Children cherish their memories of dressing up for Halloween as a little kid and the excitement the night brought — picking out a costume and traveling from house to house, stocking up on tons of delicious candy.
Last Friday, the Greek Programming Board and Student Athlete Advisory Committee hoped to recreate some of these treasured experiences, with Trick-or-Treat with Greeks and Student-Athletes. For two hours, the houses of Greek row opened their doors to the families of faculty and staff as well as kids from Big Brothers Big Sisters, Youth and Encouragement Services and other Vanderbilt Community Partnerships.
The Student-Athletes accompanied kids from the Martha O’Bryan Center as they ran up and down Greek Row collecting as much candy as possible. Organizers hope the event will strengthen the bonds of the Vanderbilt community as well as provide a fun and safe trick-or treat environment for the kids that participated.
This year will mark the third time Greek row has hosted this event in conjunction with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
