Greek Team Challenge

Welcome Everyone to the KidSpirit and Girls on the Run Greek Team Challenge.  We are so excited to team up with the sororities and fraternities here at Oregon State University.  The Greek Community is all about giving back and now they have the opportunity to give back locally.  These young woman and men are ideal role models throughout Corvallis and exemplify leadership, social responsibility, and the best qualities of character.  Together they provide a service to others which has always been an important part of Greek Life’s mission.
