Special Olympics March 10th-11th!


Panhellenic hosts Special Olympics March 10 - 11 this year at the Lilly Gym!

This event is a 25 year old tradition at DePauw University! Saturday events begin at 11 a.m., followed by Opening Ceremonies at 12:20 p.m. Mayor Sue Murray will be present to welcome athletes. X-Cell and DePauwCapella will perform. The games will conclude at 6 p.m., but will be followed by a Pizza Party & Spa Night from 6-8 p.m. where Jack Daddy Sunrise will perform, manicures will be given, pizza will be eaten, and a photobooth will be set-up! 

All are welcome! Sunday events begin with breakfast for the athletes at the chapter houses at 8:30 a.m. and games begin at 10 a.m., concluding with an Awards Ceremony at 3 p.m. The Student Athletic Advisory Committee will be helping throughout both days, so thank your student athletes when you see them! Thanks to all of the chapters and organizations for their support and enthusiasm. We couldn't do this without you! I look forward to seeing you all at the gym!
