TV show 'Greek' to participate in Homecoming

The Greeks know how to celebrate Homecoming.

Scott Michael Foster and Amber Stevens, who play Cappie and Ashleigh on ABC Family's "Greek," will be participating in Homecoming events and promoting ABC Family's "Pledge Yourself to Do Something" campaign, which encourages students, Greek and non-Greek, to volunteer for organizations within the community.

The pair will be meeting students and signing autographs in the UF Bookstore today from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Foster and Stevens will stay in Gainesville through the weekend to get down with the Gators, who will return to The Swamp to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks Saturday.

"UF has a great reputation of students willing to be involved," said Alicia Nunez, an intern for ABC and senior in telecommunications and business at UF.

Before meeting fans at the bookstore today, Foster and Stevens will ride in a convertible down University Avenue as part of the Homecoming parade.

They will also crown the Homecoming king and queen at Gator Growl tonight.

Before Saturday's game, Alpha Epsilon Pi will host a barbecue and meet-and-greet for Foster and Stevens at the fraternity's house at 1904 W University Ave.

Anyone is welcome to attend the barbecue, which starts at 1 p.m. and continues until the pair heads to the stadium for kickoff, Nunez said.

The cast of "Greek" has taken time off from the show's production to tour colleges around the nation and promote the "Pledge Yourself" campaign.
