It was and remains the “pink print” for May Week & all BGLO “weeks” if not Greek Week in general.

While AKA began the service component for Greek organizations,  Ivy Day as it is known today officially began on MAY 25, 1909.  

Ivy Day  is an annual event that describes the intent of the sorority, its commitment to service & seals its bond to the university.

The first planting was  in May of 1908. The sorority planted ivy and a tree on the campus.

 This ritual that is still in practice today is then followed by an act of service i.e.  planting of the ivy and expands to events for the school's population. These acts were completed as tangible and relatable goals of the sorority & the university. 

These events grew to be called Ivy Week which of course went to

 Skee Week. 

Such examples of service & bonding weeks can be seen in campus wide programs across the globe. 

Such examples of other Greek programs are known as 

Greek Week, Finer Womanhood week, May Week, Alpha Week, Achievement Week.

Its the Ivy that binds...
