Question:
Why do you think homecoming is a big event on campus?
Answer:
“I think it’s a big event because it’s like what everyone looks forward to. Homecoming, we all know that’s every fall, every football season. So I think it’s just really big and amped up because it just brings everyone back.”

Question:
Do you think homecoming is overrated?
Answer:
“Yes it is, because all the awards go to one sorority and Fraternity, not really any organizations other than sororities and fraternity.”

Question:
Do you or any organization you are involved in participate in homecoming? How do you feel about participating or not participating?
Answer:
“Well, I’ve participated in the homecoming honor court this year and it’s been super fun. During my sophomore year and my freshman year, I participated with my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. It was super fun, we made banners, we made the little trick or treat bags and things of that sort. So I really think it’s a great time to bond with your friends to build that relationship, and even see other organizations, their banners, all the hard work they’re doing and their lip sync performances. I think that’s super cool.”

Question:
Do you think homecoming is overrated?
Answer:
“I can see how it could seem overrated to a lot of students who aren’t in organizations, because homecoming is organizational participation based, so I could see how it could seem overrated. In my opinion though, I don’t think that it is because it does bring a lot of activity to campus and it has those organizations come together as one.”
