In 1942 the Inter-Fraternity Council hosted a ball for all the Greeks at Youngstown College. In 1946 the event was renamed the Pan-Hellenic Dance. Held annually, the dance was presided over by an elected Sweetheart, and beginning in 1952, featured a decorated booth contest for all sororities and fraternities. Themes varied from year to year, with some taken from television, literature, and leisure activities. |

Greek Sing is an annual songfest competition in which fraternities and sororities on campus are invited to participate. In addition to trophies awarded to outstanding musical performers, outstanding members of the Pan-Hellenic community are recognized. Originally it was part of the May Day activities. |

Greek Weekend began with the combining of the annual Greek Mixer with Greek Sing. The Mixer started as a square-dance held in mid-winter. It soon transformed into a spring festival and picnic, with activities for all the fraternity and sorority members on campus. These included a relay race, a boat race, tug-of-war, a softball game with faculty, and live music. The mixer became an off-campus event in 1958, when it was held at Lake Arrowhead in Columbiana, Ohio. |
