Wet and cold - but it's still Greek Week

By Monty Siekerman
No matter the weather, with or without an umbrella, everyone wants to watch an egg throw. They do?

Yes, when it’s part of Greek Olympics.

This is only a portion of the crowd, standing in the rain on Saturday, hoping their fraternity or sorority brothers or sisters are the best at tossing an egg.

Sorry, we don’t know who won. Our photographer decided to seek shelter and dry out before the event was over.
