Simplifying Greek Life Events—Why I Created My Business
In the world of Greek life, events are more than just gatherings—they’re milestones. Whether it’s a bid day that welcomes new members, the excitement of big/little reveal, or the formality of initiation, these moments shape the culture and experience of being in a sorority or fraternity. However, behind the scenes, these events require a lot of work, organization, and coordination. Between choosing the right vendors, arranging for food, securing decor, and ordering custom merchandise, the process can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s why I created Go Greek, an all-inclusive event service dedicated to making event planning within Greek life easier.
The Concept Behind Go Greek
Go Greek builds on a simple yet powerful idea: simplifying Greek event planning by offering a one-stop shop for everything from food, merchandise, and decor to music and more. Often, when planning an event for a sorority or fraternity, there are simply too many moving parts. The process of juggling multiple vendors, catering services, decor companies, and other third-party providers is chaotic and time-consuming.
With Go Greek, we handle all of that for you. Instead of reaching out to 10 different companies to ensure your event is perfect, you reach out to one—us. We’ve built strong relationships with third-party vendors so that we can offer a variety of services. We coordinate food, decor, signage, music, and everything else you need, acting as your single point of contact. It’s about providing a streamlined, stress-free experience that allows you to focus on what truly matters—enjoying the event and celebrating your Greek chapter.
We also produce a wide range of our own custom products. Go Greek curates a selection of customizable items, from bid day signs and banners to exclusive merchandise, tailored to your chapter and event. We design our services to enhance every type of Greek event, whether it’s a large, extravagant bid day or an intimate weekly chapter meeting. Our mission is to take the stress out of event planning so that your events can shine.
The Inspiration Behind Go Greek
Go Greek is more than just a business; it’s a solution I wish I had during my time as a leader in my sorority, Phi Mu. In leadership roles, I organized key events like bid day, new member retreat, and weekly meetings. While I enjoyed leading, the event planning process often felt overwhelming.
For any given event, I was in contact with up to 10 different companies to cover all the bases: securing decor, ordering custom merchandise, coordinating food, and booking venues. The sheer number of moving pieces made it difficult to manage everything seamlessly. My inbox was flooded with emails, follow-ups, and logistics conversations, leaving me feeling stressed and scattered rather than excited about the event.
It was through these experiences that the idea for the company was born. Spotting a gap in the market, I realized there was no centralized service to manage all aspects of Greek life event planning. It became clear to me that a better way had to exist for organizing these special events without the constant headache of juggling multiple vendors. My goal was to create a service that would have been a lifesaver when I was responsible for planning—a service designed to remove stress and let organizers focus on crafting meaningful, unforgettable moments.
Why Go Greek Stands Out
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to being a one-stop shop. We don’t just provide a service; we offer a comprehensive solution. Whether it’s bid day or a new member retreat, planning is simplified by handling everything in-house or with trusted partners.
Our clients no longer juggle multiple vendors or stress about everything coming together on time. We simplify the process by acting as the sole contact and handling every detail with care.
Go Greek also has a creative edge. We create high-quality custom merchandise and signage tailored to each chapter’s specific needs. We design beautiful bid cards and create unique big/little reveal decor to enhance the atmosphere and make your events unforgettable.
The Future of Go Greek
As the company grows, our goal remains clear: provide chapters with the tools for amazing events, stress-free. We aim to be the go-to service for Greek event planning, ensuring every event honors the people it celebrates.
Go Greek handles the details, so you can enjoy your sorority meeting or fraternity date party. Let us help you create events that celebrate what Greek life is all about—brotherhood, sisterhood, and unforgettable memories.
