Homecoming at a historically black college or university (HBCU) is the time of the year when thousands of Black people unite back to what some call a “home away from home,” where students, alumni, family and friends join together in fellowship and harmony—showcasing money spent on new outfits for the entire festive week.
A HBCU Buzz poll on the Top 5 HBCU Homecomings counted nearly 45,000 votes by several supporters of Black colleges on their choice 2014 Homecoming. Here are the results:
2Southern University
The homecoming at Southern University is rank No. 2 with 9,506 votes (20 percent).Southern actually co-lead the Top 5 HBCU Homecomings poll with another HBCU for several weeks before N.C. A&T made a system crash with their popular homecoming a few weeks later.

THE PVAMU!!!!!
Just kinda wish you hadn’t said “drunken fellowship. For the next several Saturdays, HBCU alums will blow their rent money on new outfits, reconnect with undergrad boos, have late night Drake moments and network.” That’s not ALL the homecoming weekends are about. Lot more than that. Just pointing that out because you have parents who may think that is ALL we HBCU students/alumn do and NOT send their student. We must be mindful of how we present and represent ourselves.
Excellent point. High school senior parents do indeed check these sites to cull information.
