This week is the biggest week in Stillwater - America's Greatest Homecoming is here! There is no place in the world that celebrates homecoming like we do at Oklahoma State University. The entire university and town join in on the historically named homecoming. Students, staff, residents work around the clock to show the world just how special Oklahoma State University is!
America's Greatest Homecoming is all about showing why Oklahoma State University is the best university in the nation. We all have so much going on that it is unreal. From Football Frenzy, the Harvest Carnival, Hester Street Painting, Sea of Orange Parade, the floats, the pomping, the painting, Homecoming & Hoops, dying the fountain orange, Walkaround, and watching the Cowboys kick ass!
America's Greatest Homecoming includes the famous Walkaround around the Greek houses. Planning for Walkaround takes months of preparation from Greek Life and vendors supporting the event. These are the reasons that make Walkaround so special:
1. The House Decs
It's hard to believe, but this entire sign was made with tissue paper being pushed into chicken wire. Greek Life spends hours on days on weeks making these amazing house decorations. Some move and spin and it is almost unbelievable that something like this is possible to be made. Praise to Oklahoma State Greek Life!
2. The Signs
Another tradition at OSU is the signs that Greek Life, student organizations, and residence halls take place in for homecoming. Again weeks go into planning these great, original, and creative signs.
3. The People
Without the people coming to Walkaround to appreciate all the work that goes into making this Homecoming so special. The Cowboy Family all comes together for Walkaround, and there is nothing like being a part of this crowd. Thousands of Alumni return to Stillwater because of the connection that we all have. We are all forever, LOYAL & TRUE.
Thank you to all that make Walkaround happen and making America's Greatest Homecoming a thousand times better. Read more of what makes Oklahoma State Homecoming so insanely amazing: America's Greatest Homecoming: We Earned It. We are always loyal and true - GO POKES!
