Many chapters at SIUC participate in the annual Saluki Family Weekend and many others host parent weekend activities. During the annual Saluki Family Weekend, many chapters participate in the annual Inter-Greek Council Greek Sing. Chapters sing and perform numerous family friendly skits on the steps of Shryock Auditorium. Chapter events are popular because they allow you, the parent, to visit your student during the academic year, meet other parents, and spend the weekend at the University. Many chapters have a Parents Club for parents to actively get involved with their students’ chapter, providing funds for the chapter to use towards furniture, computers, and snacks for finals week.
