during winter carnival michigan technological universities’greek community plays a large role. winter carnival is a huge tourist attraction, mostly because of the enormous snow statues. there are two different types of statues, month-long statues and one nighter statues. while this is a large part of greek involvement in winter carnival, that is not the extent of it. greeks also participate in a number of other activities in order to gain points to be the overall winner of winter carnival. some of these activities include the statue competition, the queen's competition, the winter carnival stage revue, beards competition, and some athletic competitions. being the overall winner of winter carnival is a very prestigious award and gives one fraternity and one sorority bragging rights until the next winter carnival.
