Battle of the Greeks (BOTG) is an event that’s hosted by the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). BOTG is a three-round competition where our chapters will showcase who has the best steps and strolls on campus. Each of the three rounds will be themed (slow, fast, and wildcard). During the first and second rounds chapters will be eliminated. During the final “Wildcard” Round, the final chapters will square-off head-to-head.
Join us September 29th, 2022, at 7pm in Kimball Recital Hall.
