Bring the youngsters to Middle Tennessee State University for a colorful harbinger of spring after a long, dreary winter.

The 2022 Panhellenic Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 10, on the lawn of President Sidney A. McPhee’s home at East Main Street and Middle Tennessee Boulevard. This event is free and open to the public.

Join McPhee and the Easter Bunny as children age 12 and under search for Easter eggs on the lawn beginning at 2:15 p.m. Games, a balloon artist and an inflatable will be available for bouncing off some of that extra energy.

“After being cancelled in 2020 and held as a drive-thru in 2021, our sorority and fraternity members are eager to host this event in person and get back on the President’s Lawn,” said Leslie Merritt, director of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

The Easter Egg Hunt is sponsored by the MTSU Panhellenic Council with support from the university’s sorority and fraternity chapters. All guests should park at the MTSU East Main Building at 1403 E. Main St.
