Homecoming Homecoming had a variety of events to get students involved and keep them busy. Homecoming exists to celebrate the successes and undertakings of those leading the way and honor those who return to make Homecoming what it is. Homecoming has taken a different direction. “The student body used to be more involved, and we arc trying to get the student body more involved,” said Vanessa Watkins, Memorial Union Program Council Homecoming Programmer. The athletic department has taken a role in getting students involved through student promotions. Homecoming contests, such as the Tug o War, “Veil like Hell”, and house decorations are now based on a point system, where all of the campus living groups compete for points and the winners gel the glory. The added participation from the athletic department seems to be helping students to become more involved. The week was kicked off with students decorating residence halls, grcck houses, and various other buildings all around campus. Sigma Chi won the decorating contest with their spirited decorations.
