\"ROCHESTER<\/a>The University\u2019s fraternity and sorority communities hosted elementary school students from the Rochester City School District for the seventh annual Greek or Treat event last Friday.<\/p>\n

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ 140 kids visited the River Campus to take part in Halloween-themed events ranging\u00a0from a doughnut-on-a-string contest to a haunted house and obstacle course.<\/p>\n

The students came from Schools 2, 4, and 34, and are part of the Quad A For Kids program, which offers safe events\u00a0outside normal school hours for kids in Rochester city schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so thankful that Quad A For Kids continues to support this program and provide a fun way for us to connect with the community,\u201d says John DiSarro, the University\u2019s director of fraternity and sorority affairs. \u201cThis year, we had more children than ever, and our students had a great time dressing up and spending time with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
