Battle of the Sides
Battle of the Sides is an annual fall semester tradition that encourages building a sense of community through participation in events that target the four Greek values: citizenship, leadership, ritual, and scholarship.
Greek chapters are split into two teams — those with houses on the northside of campus and those on the southside of campus. The winning team at the end of the week is the side that had the greatest total attendance and participation at events. A special reward is given to the winning team.
For more information, please contact the IFC and Panhel VPs of programming: Thomas Kuzier or Jessica Hatch.

Each semester, the Greek Life Office brings a dynamic, nationally recognized speaker to campus to address issues that face Greeks today. Chapters gather in one of the large lecture halls on the quad to listen, ask questions, and consider how the information can be utilized in their chapter and the Case Western Reserve University Greek community.
