We Are The Champions My Friend

Here on campus I am involved in a social fraternity, Kappa Sigma. Involved might be the understatement of the year, I love my fraternity and the guys who are in it and wouldn’t have had nearly the same great experience here at the college without them. Being part of Greek life in the fall gives me a few things to look forward to like the start of rush, getting new members, and of course the best of all Homecoming. Homecoming is a week full of fun and games, a time when you get to see your graduated friends when they return to campus and meet alumni from the college who graduated before you were born. Also during this week you get to compete in different spirit competitions that all culminate at the parade Saturday morning before the football game. Usually a fraternity and a sorority will pair up to build a float together and this year my fraternity paired up with the ladies of Delta Delta Delta to win the float competition. In the picture you can see a group of guys all standing around the seven or eight foot tall Griffin that we had built for our float. I still maintain that that Griffin is what really won it for us.

On a side note we were also able to enter the marching competition which we took second in. I would explain what we did but it would be better if saw it, so here it is:

Overall I had a blast building the float and being on our drill team. The Homecoming parade and everything that comes with it is something you should definitely look forward to when you arrive on campus in the fall.
