FSL Celebrates Homecoming: Welcome to Bearadise

Homecoming is an important tradition within the Fraternity and Sorority Life community. In 2017, members of the Interfraternity Council (IFC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and Panhellenic Association (PHA) councils had the opportunity to pick their own teams for the annual week of friendly competition. Judges from Missouri State University and the Springfield community determined the winner of each event, and gave appropriate points to teams who best applied creativity, brilliance, and diligence to each sect of the week.

In addition to the competition, members of the FSL community contributed to a total of over 6,000 pounds of canned food donations, as well as over 150 hours of voluntary community service. The 2017 Homecoming FSL winner was Theta Chi, with Sigma Kappa and Delta Zeta coming in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. Winners of each individual event can be found below. Additionally, all 10 nominees for Homecoming royalty were members of the FSL community.

 

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. placed first in the inaugural Homecoming Step Show hosted by NPHC and the Black Alumni Council

The National Pan-Hellenic Council also hosted the inaugural Homecoming Step Show with the Black Alumni Council. With over 300 in attendance, four teams from NPHC chapters and the student organization “Essence of Hip Hop” performed.
