This year's HOMECOMING was the best ever! Wouldn't have missed it!


A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip down to my Alma Mater, Norfolk State University, for our Homecoming. This trip was great for a number of reasons. One of the more obvious reasons this was a great trip was that I got to reconnect with my 'ol college friends and fraternity brothers. The weather was perfect and I was able to take off that last Friday and head down to Norfolk for the pep rally.


This year was special because I didn't ride alone. This year, for the first time, my bff, my girlfriend, Shannon, road with me; along with my two lil cousins. This was the first homecoming Shannon and I shared together so we were both excited from the jump. I had the privilege of introducing her to all of my friends from school. She's very outgoing and personable so it isn't difficult for her to go with the flow of things.


This year, I was able to bring along my lil cousins as well, Kelsey and Shaquille! They had a ball. I plan on taking them on some more trips in the near future.


Everything was just great! When we arrived on campus, I was like, WOW! So much has changed since I was there for last year's homecoming. The new student union is now open. I remember when they began brainstorming about how it should look. NSU has a new tech building, and new research building. OUTSTANDING!!!


I had so much fun hanging with my frat brothers and friends from school. Later that night, we all went to the step show and had an even better time. Saturday was the best day! THE TAILGATE AND THE FOOTBALL GAME!!! It's funny, I never go to the game. The tailgate is my domain. I think that I hit every tailgate vendor out there. That morning, I purposely did not eat breakfast so I could eat as much as possible. The current chapter bruhs collaborated with the grad chapter bruhs to make a great tailgate with great food.


In the evening, all of the bruhs gathered over at the new ALPHA plot to sing the hymn, offer up our prayers, and to pay tribute to two of our fallen brothers. I must say that I have never, in the 6 years of me being a member of this fraternity, seen that many NSU Alphas at a homecoming. I don't know what it was about this homecoming but I met some 'ol school Alphas who crossed in '64. My chapter was chartered in '62 so that means they were the second line to come through E Pi. They know our charter members and are willing to pass on pictures, documentation, and memories to the younger brothers who have followed in their footstps. So we made sure we exchanged contact information in order to stay in contact.
This year NSU hosted the best homecoming yet!
