Greek alumnae returned to the campus of 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. The sleepover was a two-night event on Friday and Saturday, August 14 and 15.
“It’s just exciting to see those alumnae back on campus. They get to see how their chapters have grown and how UCA has grown and how impactful the UCA Greek community is on this campus and community,” said Haley Fowler, director of annual giving.
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 ‘60s to 2014.
Each sorority hosted different activities for the Greek alumnae including dinner, gift bag drawings, painting and cosmetic shows. Alumnae at each resid
ence 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.
