Homecoming 2013 Recap

A week ago today we placed 2nd in Homecoming with Theta Chi and Farmhouse. Here's a look at how we did it:



Our theme for Homecoming this year overall was The Black and Gold Standard. Our city was Washington D.C. All of our events matched this city and theme this year.

Oct. 14th - 17th
University of Missouri Blood Drive

All of our members were required to either give blood or find someone to give for them. Mizzou hold's one of the largest blood drives in the nation. This year we set a record by donating our 100,000th unit ever to the Red Cross. We are proud to have been a part of it.



Oct. 19th Kicked off Homecoming week with our banner in our front yard.



Oct. 22nd
Fling in Jesse Auditorium

Our pairing created a 15 minute skit with two dances for the fling competition. Our skit can be watched here at 2:40

We also had two of our Kappas, Lindsay P. and Hannah O. perform an "Inbetween Act". They can be seen here at 0:44

Oct. 24th
Decorate The District

Our pairing was given Brigham's downtown to paint for Decorate the District this year. Here is the final product:

Campus Decorations

Friday night before the Homecoming game Greek Town is closed off for the pairing's campus decorations. Here are ours from this year which were located next to Farmhouse.


Oct. 26th
Parade

Saturday morning is the parade through campus and downtown. It's an early morning, but all of the floats look amazing and the Columbia community comes out to watch.



Football Game

Even though it was a loss by our team, we fought hard and everyone had a great time at the game. Homecoming is one of the best games of the year and it was great to see all of the Alumni back on campus.
