What a Great Day for a Parade Te x .exas Techs 1991 homecom- ing parade included participants, floats, and cheering spectators. These cheers included audience response to numerous fraternity and sorority floats, among which was the Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Alpha Theta float which received an honor- able mention in this year ' s judging. The Tech homecoming committee told us that the theme for all float entries into the parade had to be ' Welcome Back Red and Black, said Wendall Reich, a junior ag econom- ics major from Sherman. We worked on the float for about eight hours a day a week prior to homecoming weekend. he said. Floats were judged on the basis of original theme and included four divi- sions which were fraternity and soror- ity, residence hall, campus organiza- tion and a new category which was community organization. This type of rivalry is good and results in some great floats for the homecoming parade, he said. Theta Chi Fraternity won first place in their division for float entries. I could tell the crowd really enjoyed the theme of the float and this is the real reason any organization would want to enter a float into the Tech homecoming parade. by Amy Collins Emma Ruggiero ties on a red and black ribbon in front of the journalism building.
