God Revealing Himself at Conference
#GCXII is in full swing! Lunch break is over (the local restaurants are probably thrilled!) and concentrations are back together figuring out different ways to encounter, connect, thrive, lead, and influence.
One thing is clear through the many conversations, questions, discussions, and prayers God is revealing Himself in many ways at Greek Conference!
Stay tuned…but here is a quick teaser. Speaker Beau Crosetto tweeted earlier that at tonight’s talk at General Session God will reveal two things to us and REDEFINE one. What will that be? Better focus on concentrations and rest up before General Session tonight to find out!
And one more thing before you go…this year marks the 20th anniversary of Greek InterVarsity’s ministry on campus! Alumni and staff will be gathering to celebrate with a dinner at 6pm and a trip down memory lane to see the ministry work with … Read More »
625 Greeks and Counting…Indy Greek Conference 2012
Have you heard?! Greek IV Conference is in the Super City this weekend and boasting a super number of cool sorority and fraternity all-stars. 625 Greeks and counting are here in Indianapolis for the weekend to learn about what it means to be both Greek and Christian. And the FUN has begun.
General Session housed the largest game of “Rock, Paper, Scissors” Indy has seen or well maybe the Marriott East Hotel and the winners were decided.
Kristina and Beau Crosetto, the weekend’s speakers made the trek from the West Coast to share some of their lives with students this weekend. Stories were shared (a funny one about Beau revealing himself to Kristina’s mom!) as well as a great story from John 2 about Jesus turning water into wine. ”Are you open?” is the question both the Crosetto’s asked of students to see … Read More »

Concentration help is here
Having trouble deciding?
Whether it’s your first time to conference or you’re a GC veteran and just can’t seem to figure out which concentration is right for you, we’ve got the answers you need. Or perhaps we should say, you’ve got the answers and we’ve got the questions. To help you find the GC concentration that is right for you, we’ve put together a short Survey that helps suggest a concentration based on your responses to some basic questions.
Need further advice?
If you still need help deciding on a concentration, it’s always good to get a recommendation from your Greek InterVarsity staff or a friend who has been to GC in the past. If neither of those are available and you still want to get some personalized advice, you can always get in touch with us through the contact page

Yep. There’s an app for this too.
What’s Included
The Greek Conference 2012 App was created to be your pocket guide to everything Greek Conference. Leading up to the conference, it is your source for information, coupon codes, promo videos and more. Once you arrive on site at the conference, the App will add new features to help you navigate the weekend.
Promo Hunt Contest
One of the main features of the app is the “Promo Hunt” tab which was designed for you to take photos using your smartphone of the ways you are “smartly” placing promotions around your campus. We’ll feature all the photos we receive on the big screen at Greek Conference in February and also give out a prize for the most creative promo shot.

GC12 Promo Video: Rethink
“I was expecting a bunch of poseurs fronting about their faith. I was gladly proven wrong.”
What’s the promo about?
Greek Conference isn’t always what people are expecting it to be. Who can blame them though? Plenty of stereotypes come to mind when thinking of Greeks & Christians, so a conference that claims to bring the two identities together is ripe for ridicule. But what actually happens at GC? We hope you join us this February in Indianapolis or Charlotte to see for yourself.
Unfolding soon on a campus near you
We’ve been hard at work on the latest promotions for Greek Conference 2012 and today we’re excited to share the final results. This year we’ve created two pieces to help get the word out about Greek Conference using the glossy world of magazines as our playground. We’ve also included a bonus fold-out poster on the opposite side of the covers to give plenty of options for those who want to promote GC in their own special way. To help you get better acquainted with this year’s promotions, we’ve put together a brief rundown of what’s in store for this year. We hope you enjoy getting the word out!
The Poster
More options are good, right? So this year we gave the Greek Conference posters the double-sided treatment. Actually, perhaps triple-sided is a better way to describe them. The posters are printed on … Read More »
