On October 20-26, Missouri State University faculty, staff, students and alumni celebrated Homecoming Week. Homecoming is a beloved tradition that FSL enjoys participating in each year. The theme this year was Welcome to Bearadise, and each team was able to creatively express this theme through multiple events for points. The judges for these events judged on originality, creativity, correlation to the overall theme, and amount of pride for MSU!
Members of FSL were also crowned Homecoming King and Queen this year: Jaymes Dickinson from Theta Chi and Lauren McDowell from Xi Omicron Iota.
