So who are you paired with? What are your events? Who do you play? How'd you do?

I'll start:

Kent State homecoming starts Oct. 16th!
We're paired with Sigma Phi Epsilon & Theta Chi!

We play the Marshall University Thundering Herd!

Judged events:

*Student Center Spirit Window- Paint a student center window to show your school spirit.

*Carnival Booth Competition- everyone creates a carnival booth/display centered on the theme complete with a fun carnival game!

*ROLL CALL!- The big event! Each group must have 20% of their chapter in a cheer/dance/skit centered on the theme!

Good Luck to everyone! Have a great homecoming!

I think that our partners this year are Delta Tau Delta and Delta Chi...but I have done nothing with homecoming so far so I really don't know.

Two girls from my house are in the top 10 for homecoming royalty which is super exciting!

The events we have for greeks are:

-Fling: 20 minute skits by all the greek pairings and some other student orgs.
-Blood Drive
-House Decs
-Parade

Umm...I know we have various service projects throughout the month of October

Res halls and other student orgs. have homecoming activities as well, but I don't know what they are...
We play Oklahoma State for the game I believe...

That sounds like so much fun! We don't have a homecoming, or a football team.

Washington and Lee's Homecoming Weekend was October 2-3.

I was nominated for Homecoming Court by my sorority and was named 2nd runner up!

My parents were there and everything and it was so awesome. Probably one of the best weekends of my college career! And we stomped Randolph-Macon!!! A good weekend overall. My date was a Lambda Chi which was good times.

The first runner up was a law student--the 3L nominee. The Homecoming Queen was a independent (she was in a sorority but deactivated). She was nominated by Chi Psi and is a wonderful person.

We don't do the float pairings. There is a banner contest. I forgot which GLO won.

Pi Beta Phi won the organizational street chalking contest....

It was a fun weekend overall. I saw a lot of good bands at the frats and elsewhere--Drive By Truckers, Carbon Leaf, this awesome Bon Jovi cover band... Unfortunately I missed Cast Iron Filter.

The best part was the senior-alumni winetasting the school put on I think. HAHAHAHA alums are so crazy and fun. And I drank like 5 glasses of merlot and was knocking everyone dead with my suavity. AWESOME!

On the other Homecoming thread I posted some pics of the weekend.

Homecoming is this week!!!!!! Yay!

Serenades is Tuesday
Spirit night is Wednesday
Final voting for court is Friday
Parade is on Saturday
Game is saturday night
Sunday is alumni day

Doughnut run competition:
*a note* The local doughnut shop makes a fresh batch at 1:30 AM, the doughnut run is a HUGE tradition at OC, lots of people don't consider you a student unless you've gone on a run. The purpose of this competition is to see which class gets the most runners in one night, and then that class gets free doughnuts.

Monday-Freshman run
Tuesday- Sophomore run
Wednesday- Junior run
Thursday- Senior run
Friday- All campus run, winner announced.

LOL Congrats to you too. We thought we would do better than that, but it was a tough call. I think you guys placed over almost everything, including all small events (Painting Vic Lanes, Storefront Windows), minus Yell-Like-Hell (only AGDs, Thetas, and ADPis made final cuts).

You can imagine how AGRs were screaming and did crazy things at the awards, esp since FH didn't place at all. But anyway ... I am furtunate to *once again* be at the Homecoming.

Heh. Totally thinking it but didn't want to say anything!

My senior year we were also with AGR and ended up 2nd overall. That was just Not Good Enough for them. You would have thought the world ended.

I was sick so I couldn't properly enjoy Homecoming. Maybe next year!
