It actually begins weeks before the big day, with everyone pulling together to ready the festivities. Elatbeds, chicken wire and brightly colored tissue paper, pretty girls and fun- ny songs are the things that go together to make homecoming weekend a success. Everyone, Greek organizations and other groups, is infected with the spirit of homecoming. Plans are readied for the float that each organization can enter in the parade. Finding a flatbed is usually the most difficult task. Everybody puts in many hours and long nights to finish the floats in time for the start of the parade on homecoming morning. Some groups take the competition very seriously, trying their best to win, while other groups concentrate more on just enjoying the activities. This year the Sphinx fraternity won with their entry 2 Homecoming Week titled, Otterbein Wrecks the Dukes of Heidelburg. I Jzzppofe we put in at lean' 40 bourr ofwork that week. - Lim Porter Most Greek organizations put in a lot of elbow grease in order to get their houses in shape for visiting alumni. One of the more beautiful activities of the week is Serenades. Women are bedeckecl in the colors of their sororities underneath a canopy of crepe paper and garland. The queen candidates are serenaded by their sisters while an au- dience of friends and faculty watches. The evening is a lot of hard work for the sororities. The precedinglweeks in- clude hours of choosing music, per- sonalizing the lyrics and practicing the songs L to perfect the women's performance. Lisa Potter, co-chorister of Tau Ep- silon Mu sorority, said, The worst part was probably getting the practice rooms. I suppose we put in at least 40 hours of work that week. - The tradition of announcing the queen by playing her favorite song on WOBN continued. Shonda Keckley was congratulated by her sorority sisters as they gathered at the OWL house to listen for the announcement of queen. After hours of hard work and prepara- tion, the campus was ready for Homecoming Day. - Lisa Pettit and Jeannine Seitz
