Children ages 12 and younger can participate in the free Trick or Treat on Greek Row from 5 – 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, in front of the sorority houses at Rutherford Boulevard and Alumni Drive.

“The community loves this event and so do our students in MTSU’s fraternities and sororities,” said Hannah Leyhew, director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at MTSU. “We always love seeing all the costumes our Murfreesboro neighbors come up with as they join our students for some safe Halloween fun.”

There will be a variety of games for children to play at the houses and lots of candy to grab. Guests are asked to park in the lot across the street. There is no charge for parking and there is a crosswalk where families can safely access campus by foot.

The event is sponsored by the MTSU Panhellenic Council with support from MTSU’s sororities and fraternities. The council is MTSU’s largest women’s organization, comprised of six sorority chapters under the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership.

For more details, contact Anna Jones, Panhellenic vice president of programming, at mtsuvpprogramming@gmail.com, or Leyhew at Hannah.Leyhew@mtsu.edu.
