Atlanta picnic to attract thousands of black Greeks
Thousands of members of black Greek fraternities and sororities will converge on Atlanta this weekend for the annual Atlanta Greek Picnic
The week of events, which ends Sunday, focuses on social awareness and service. Besides the traditional stepping competitions and fraternal activities, there will also be a voter registration drive on Saturday at Morris Brown College and a community service project with St. Francis Table, Feeding the Homeless Ministries.
AGP is also raising money to donate to Morris Brown. Last year they gave the school $40,000.
