Q: What is your favorite part about Homecoming?
A: My favorite part of Homecoming is definitely the parade and just getting to see all the floats that everyone worked so hard on the entire week. Everyone comes together and celebrates the whole week. It's just a really fun time at the parade.
Q: What do you do to get excited for Homecoming?
A: I and another girl are the Homecoming chairs of our sorority so we have a lot of leadership responsibilities with that. We're pairing up with a fraternity and so we have all kinds of events that we're planning on doing and a bunch of different ideas that go along with the theme "Rolling with the Hawks". It's a lot of work but it pays off in the end.
D. What does Homecoming mean to you?
A: Homecoming is really an opportunity for everyone to come together. All the old alumni from my sorority come, as well as my parents who went to KU, come and get to revisit their past.

When you see all of the tailgates going on around the stadium, with everyone wearing the KU colors, it really shows how the KU community can come together and get excited about being a lav Hawk.

Q: What is your favorite part about Homecoming?
A: My favorite part of Homecoming week is being matched up with awesome sororites around campus and getting to know the sorority girls better. My favorite event is definitely the parade. The football game is cool too, but being from KU I look forward to basketball more.
u: What do you do to get excited for Homecoming?
A: Our fraternity gets to make a float with a sorority that we're paired with and we end up spending a bunch of time getting to know each other and working on our float which gets me really excited. We put a ton of work into it and hope to win among all the other floats.
A: It shows the unity of the University and everyone coming together for this one special game. I definitely think Homecoming has a lot of history behind it, whether it be alumni and parents coming out for the game or being able to look back on homecoming week in the future and knowing how much being a Jayhawk means to us.
