Greekside
Desiring authentic relationships? Wanting to know more about God? You're not alone! If you are in the Greek system, we have a Navigator ministry totally devoted to you called Greekside!
What is Greekside?
We are a community of Greeks from almost every house on campus who are pursuing Jesus Christ in every facet of life. We desire to know more about God, love to have fun, and work to build authentic Christ-centered relationships with our peers.
The cool thing is - you don't have to know anything about God to join us!
Some of us have known God for just a little while, some for a long time, and others are trying to understand who God is for the first time. One thing characterizes all of us - we're all simply searching to discover who God is and how we can better relate with Him!
What do we do?
We meet once a week with Greeks from almost every house on campus for Greekside. Greekside features praise music, relevant messages/workshops, and student life stories. We meet almost every Tuesday night at 9:00PM.
We learn about God and build authentic friendships! We get together with other Greek men and women once a week, both in the respective houses and the Nebraska Union, to study what the Bible says about God. This semester we will be studing about the different aspects of our Character.
We have fun! Whether it's wading through the river at the Island Party, swing dancing at the Barn Dance, camping and bouldering in the Rockies, dressing up for theme parties and formals, kicking around the soccer ball, or playing cards at a downtown coffee house - you won't be bored hanging out with us!
We join in fellowship with the other Navigator students for Nav Nite, our large group meeting. Nav Nites are almost every Thursday night at 7:00PM in the Nebraska Union. Nav Nite features Christ-centered fellowship, our very own praise & worship band, relevant messages, prayer, skits, student life stories, and occasional workshops. Afterwards, we have parties and activities to help you meet other students from around campus and simply have a great time on a Friday night! Check out the Nav Nite page for a semester schedule! We have occasional workshops offered to address your specific needs as students. We want to help you succeed in every area of your life!
We offer The Leadership Zone, a leadership seminar you can do with your whole house.
How do I get involved?
We would love to have you involved in our community! The easiest way to get involved is to come join us at Greekside Tuesday nights at 9:00PM. Check under Greek Announcements in the Tuesday Daily Nebraskan or the what's up for the specific location this week.
We will begin the fall semester by meeting in the basement of the Lutheran Chapel (behind the Beta House). Once a month throughout the semester we will host Greekside in your houses! To request to have Greekside in your house, please e-mail the Nav Office.
Coming to NavNite is another great way to get involved with The Navigators! NavNites are almost every Friday night at 7:00PM in the Nebraska Union. Check the schedule for more information.
