..Well, I think so at least! Homecoming 2010 is right around the corner and every participating organization on campus has been busily choreographing dances, designing banners, and building floats, all with the same goal of becoming the winners of UConn Homecoming 2010. In Alpha Phi, this is the time of the year where we see the most talent out of girls that we never expect to see, whether it’s dancing, singing, and overall, creativity.
With a Disney theme, “Remember the Magic,” we were excited to receive “Peter Pan” as our team’s theme. Our homecoming chairs, Stephanie Bousquet and Kristina Irwin have been working extremely hard to get everything together, and I am so proud and amazed by all that they have accomplished. (They did lead us to Greek Sing victory, afterall.) Together, they have created the lipsync performance that we will present to a sold out Gampel Pavilion, designed the costumes, coordinated events, booked busses, a float and so much more, in collaboration with our homecoming partners, SAE and TKE. I can hardly contain my excitement for what we will accomplish and have amazing expectations for what is to come.
One of the greatest parts of homecoming is meeting so many new people. I know that when I first joined Alpha Phi, I made some great friends through lip sync with our partner fraternity. Whether its bonding with a dance partner, or just getting to enjoy the homecoming game together, it is a great way to get to meet people you never would have otherwise, and I am excited to create friendships with SAE and TKE as well throughout this time together.
With less than two weeks to go, we are in non-stop preparation mode for this exciting time. I hope that our new members enjoy this experience as much as we do, and get to use this opportunity to bond with not only each other, and our team, but get a glimpse of the excitement they will experience in greek life here at UConn.
AOE,
