Combine a rapidly growing student body, a winning football team, and swelling pride amongst alumni; we would have the formula for what could be designated one of the most successful OSU Homecoming celebrations in recent years. The week of October 22 - 28 was Homecoming Spirit week. There was an exciting schedule of activities including the Tug-of-War games, House Decoration, Bonfire, Beaverwalk and Yell Like Hell . Beaver spirits were high as a raging Bonfire was set at Reser Stadium sponsored by the Student Alumni Association. The crowd watched as a giant, paper-wrapped cougar effigy, which represented Washington State University’s mascot, was hurled into the fire. All throughout Homecoming Week, many student organizations competed against each other for participation points. The Homecoming 2000 winners were Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority and Sigma Pi Fraternity. The Homecoming football game ended the week with a bang as Oregon State won against WSU with a remarkable 24 point lead finishing the game at 30-6.
