WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A celebration of Greek culture will be held on the Purdue University campus next week.Greek Culture Night, sponsored by the Purdue Student Union Board and the Purdue Hellenic Student Association, will be from 6:30-9:30 p.m. March 4 in the Purdue Memorial Union South Ballroom. Admission is $3 for students with a Purdue ID and $6 for the general public.
The event is part of Purdue Student Union Board's Passport Series and will give visitors a taste of everyday Greek life.
