Homecoming festivities and events were sponsored largely by the Student Alumni Board and the Arkansas Alumni Association. University students were encouraged to par¬ ticipate to make the last homecoming of the century the biggest and best ever. Enthusiasm for the Homecoming fes¬ tivities began with the announcement of the queen and her court. The 1999 Homecoming queen was Keri York, president of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. When asked about being chosen queen, Keri replied, It is an amazing honor to be able to represent the Hogs, the U of A, and the great state of Arkansas. Our traditions are alive and our foundations are strong Her court included Korienne Barnes, a member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority; Angie Maxwell, the ASG president and also a member of Delta Delta Delta; Cassandra Nunez, a resident assistant for Gregson Hall; and Candace Randall, also a member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Homecoming events kicked off Friday afternoon with the first annual Razorback Stampede. The Stampede, sponsored by the Student Alumni Board, was a parade of Razorback enthusiasts en route to the Homecoming Rally. The parade route started in front of the Si Alpha Epsilon house and went up fraternity row, tu right on Maple, right again on Garland, ui 1 neath the Arkansas Union, and finally onto Dickson Street to the Chi Ofl Greek Theatre.
