Or do they make "appearances" during their yearly reign (i.e. along the lines of Miss America).
Sorry to be ignorant (as evidenced by my questions above), but in Canada, I can tell you that a Homecoming Court would never happen (although we did have Engineer's Queens, etc. in the 1950s). On Canadians campuses, politically correct people would freak out way too much in this day and age.

At my school, Homecoming Queen and King was just a one weekend kind of thing where you get pictures taken and show up at the dance. It's pretty much a given (at least back in my days) that greeks would make up the court because in such a large school greeks were the only one group big enough to form a voting block.
That's a shame about the PC people freaking out; it's really harmless fun!
