It is time again for one of the biggest Greek dances of the year. Organized by The Ohio State University’s Orthodox nonprofit student organization, Sigma Epsilon Phi, the Sweetheart’s ball attracts Greek/Orthodox youth from across the Midwest. This year the ball will be held this Saturday Feb. 7 at the Hyatt Regency Columbus from 9 p.m. – 2 a.m. in the Union Ballroom, hors d’ oeuvres at 8:30 p.m. Pre-sale tickets for the dance are $25 dollars, and tickets at the door will be $30 dollars. The Stigma Band and singer Agapi will be performing a variety of traditional Greek dance songs, and for the first time ever there will be a performance by professional belly dancers. Tasty appetizers and several bars will also be available to enjoy. This is a huge event worth traveling for, so get your tickets now and show up dressed to impress ready to socialize, dance and maybe even find a sweetheart! You can buy tickets online at:

Following tradition, there will also be a pre-party the night before. This year the Brewery District’s CBR Bar at 503 South Front St. will be hosting the party to help start the weekend off right. Come hear Urban Greek’s DJ T&S play your favorite Modern and Classic Greek dance music with an opening hiphop set by DJ Giovanny. You must be 18+ to enter. There will be a five dollar cover for those 21+, and a $10 dollar cover for those 18+. Doors open at 10 p.m.
I strongly encourage you to attend and bring friends. Everyone is welcome, Greek or not. It is a great weekend-long event to experience, and one that I never miss. Hope to see you there!
