On
Oct. 5-7 Homecoming weekend was in full force, as hundreds
of Greek alumni came back to visit.
Arriving
by car, bus and plane, the alumni rolled into Bowling
Green to cheer on the football team, attend dinners
and catch up on old times. For many Greek students it
was a great opportunity to see old friends.
"We
all went to the football game, and before that, the
alumni and our girls all ate at the house," Delta
Zeta Homecoming chair, Shelley Santin said.
Homecoming
also gives Greeks the opportunity to be involved in
campus events.
"We
encouraged our girls to participate in as many campus
activities as they could," said Santin. "We
painted our windows and decorated the house. A lot of
girls went to the football game and the ice cream social."
"We
had a really good turn out ... better than last year’s,"
said junior, Ryan Tolone, the Homecoming chair for Kappa
Sigma. "A good amount of guys also went to our
Homecoming dinner at Kaufman’s, and the game as
well."
Homecoming
is also a time for traditions. One such tradition is
the selection of the Homecoming court. This year, six
members of the Homecoming Court were members of Greek
organizations.
They
include Casey Stevens, a member of Alpha Phi; Jessica
Wagner from Gamma Phi Beta; Jon Labbe, a member of Kappa
Alpha; Harold Howell of Sigma Phi Epsilon; and Scott
Patterson of Delta Chi. Homecoming Queen, Lena Quintero,
is a member of Sigma Lambda Gamma.
Homecoming
also creates an opportunity to keep in touch with alumni
brothers and sisters.
"We
got to see the alumni that we haven’t seen for
awhile, and it really was a positive experience for
the younger guys in the house to meet the people who
were here before them," said Tolone.
