Greek Week is a spring tradition where Young Harris’s Greek organizations gather throughout the week to celebrate Greek life and its many contributions to the campus and beyond. It’s an opportunity for members to get together to do good work in and for this community and spend time with students from other Greek organizations. And though some of the events are open only to members of sororities and fraternities, many are open to those curious about what it means to “go Greek” at YHC. Greek Week kicks off this Saturday morning, with YHC’s Greek “Day of Service,” coordinated by the Rev. Stephen Soulen. 

Young Harris College Professor of Philosophy, Dr. Chris Lay, has been selected to participate in the Council of Independent Colleges’s (CIC) New Currents in Teaching Philosophy.
