Hey, I am a brother from the Iota Pi chapter at SPSU and i can explain this a little bit better.
Began in 1972, Goat Day was started. One campus legend had it that some years earlier, a member of the previous administration had become so frustrated that one day he tied up a goat near the administration building on campus. During this time there was a Goat Shed on campus. The beginning celebrations of Goat Day was a Bar-B-Que, Miss Southern Tech pageant, and a dance in the evening. The goal was to strengthen the level of faculty, staff, and student fraternization.
Today, we keep that tradition much of the same. Though we are not having a Bar-B-Que this year, we are carrying on the dance, but in a different way. Goat Night starts on Monday with a Banner Competition, Wednesday Day we are having a Penny War – The money raised will be going to American Red Cross Hurricane Relief. Wednesday Night there will be the Famous Eating Competition, Skit, & Dance!
-Song and Dance: 30%
