During the month of February each winter, UMaine Greeks participate in Winter Carnival! During this week, Greeks participate in numerous philanthropic events and competitions and this years theme was "Summer in the Winter"!
First off was The Letters Sign In where Greeks signed a banner in the union, the highest percentage of participation from each chapter was how the scores were complied. For the sororities 1st was Chi Omega, 2nd AOPi and 3rd Pi Beta Phi, for the Fraternities 1st was INK, 2nd SAE, and 3rd Sig Ep.
The next event was The Greek Talent Show, which was held in the CCA! For the sororities; 1st went to Delta Rho, 2nd AOPi, and 3rd Pi Beta Phi and for the fraternities; 1st went to INK, 2nd to Phi Kap, and 3rd was a tie between TKE & Sig Ep!

The last event of the week was The Polar Bear Dip where Greeks jumped into a pool of freezing water on the mall in the freezing cold weather! Combined participating chapters raised over $1,000 which was donated to the Penobscot Nation Boys & Girls Club!
