Greek Getaway has been going on for at least the last 8 years, and I think for even longer than that. I went to it when I was a senior in high school in 1997.

It's a great introduction to the Greek community at Iowa State. It's always held the weekend of Greek Week so the Getaway attendees get to stay in a chapter house, watch lip sync finals, go to non-alc functions, watch Greek Olympics, and just get to know some of the people in fraternities and sororities.

I think the retention rate is fairly good with maybe half or more people who go to Greek Getaway going through recruitment and becoming a member of the Greek Community. The year I went, two other girls (out of about 10) that stayed at the Kappa house with me also became my pledge sisters later through formal recruitment.
