The houses on LSU’s sorority row will open their doors on October 28, 2009 from 5-7 p.m. for their annual Trick or Treat Down the Row.   The students involved in LSU Greek life welcome Baton Rouge locals to participate in this safe and fun Halloween activity.

Parents are encouraged to bring their children of all ages.   Along with door to door trick or treating, the Greek community has arranged extra events for the kids to enjoy.

 “We set up a face painting booth and have games at our house to allow the kids to interact with our sorority,” said Emily Reimsnyder, a Kappa Kappa Gamma at LSU.   “I love getting my chapter excited about the event.”

 “We dress up in funny costumes and the kids seem to be shocked when they walk up to our lawn and see us in them,” said Kylee Barnes, Delta Zeta at LSU.  Mike the Tiger is expected to attend along with some LSU athletes.   They will be there to boost the LSU Halloween spirit will be available for pictures with the kids.  

Carnival

Along with the ten houses open to trick-or-treaters, Phi Kappa Psi hosts a carnival staffed by their active members and pledges along with young women from neighboring sororities.   Activities include a sponge throw, a dunking tank and other games to win candy prizes.

Over the last few years, the event has grown to serve over 2,000 children.  

 “ Trick-or-Treat Down the Row brings people together in a safe environment to celebrate Halloween and is a great service provided by the Panhellenic community,” said Angela Guillory, the Director of Greek Life at LSU.
