Homecoming Activities

[gpb1874]

We do several activities, but nothing is Greek exclusive. We're a smaller campus and a fairly small Greek community, that wouldn't be too feasible and we don't want to exclude any organization from participating.

We do:
* Spirit Competition (points for placing and participating in competitions and attending certain events, similar to Greek Week scoring-for us at least)
* Kick-off picnic in a plaza - fun, games, food, announce HC court
* Casino night w/prize auction
* Service activity - the HC court nominees usually read at a local elementary school
* Org spirit day - they wear their org's shirt and check in btwn a certain time
* Fry-day fiesta (we're on the coast and serve fried fish) - food, games
* Islander Revue - song and dance, like Greek Sings. Mostly Greeks participate and 1 or 2 non-Greeks.
* Blue & Green Day - giveaways, University gear fashion show, M&M guessing contest (blue and green M&M's of course!), trivia contest and spirit yell contest
* basketball decorating competition (we also don't have fball)
* sidewalk chalk graffiti contest (orgs decorated a sidewalk square with chalk)
* housing hoopla - fun and games near housing
* pep rally
* Up All Night - from 9:30pm-2am; many different activities like twister, eating contests, dance lessons, magician/hypnotist (varies each year), etc
* Ring ceremony - seniors get their rings in a formal ceremony attended by family and friends.
* parade before the game on saturday - most chapter participate; not elaborate.

And the usual alumni meetings, receptions, parent's council stuff
