A pair of Student Life units — Fraternity and Sorority Life and Services for Students with Children — are coordinating two Halloween-themed activities to offer children, parents and guardians the chance to maximize the excitement of the holiday.
Both events are 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 29 and free to attend. Minor children must be accompanied by an adult to participate.
Children and adults alike are encouraged to dress in Halloween costumes.
Greek Street Trick-or-Treat
After a one-year hiatus, this perennial campus favorite makes a triumphant return to the Halloween scene. The route starts outside the Nebraska Union and continues at the chapter houses along R and 16th streets.
Attendees will first stop at the Nebraska Union’s Memorial Plaza to sign in with the Greek Street team and receive a map. Nine chapters will have activities on the Plaza.
From the plaza, adults can guide their children at their own pace for trick or treating at 15 additional chapter houses along R Street and 16th Street. Nearly 30 fraternity and sorority chapters will offer treats, fun and decorations for the kids to enjoy.
Little Monster Mash
This event may be enjoyed by children ages 2 to 10 years. Meet in the Crib, inside the Nebraska Union, and enjoy a multitude of Halloween-themed indoor hands-on crafts and activities for kids and adults to enjoy doing together, including:
- cookie decorating
- painting and decorating pumpkin-shaped stress balls
- pin-the-eye on the monster contest
