Fall semester is always my favorite semester of the year. The weather is cool; I’m reunited with my friends after a long, productive summer, and I get a fresh start to a new school year. All of these aspects of the fall semester are incredible but one event that I look forward to most of any event in the semester is Spelhouse Homecoming. Homecoming is the one time a year where I truly understand what it means to attend an HBCU.
Alumni from all over the country come to celebrate their college years and update their classmates on what is going on.During Homecoming I’m reunited with alum that was seniors when I was a freshman. I get to learn about what my professors were like as students. As a Morehouse student, it is inspiring seeing all the Morehouse men talk about their glory days and how they inquire about what my plans are. For me, that innate bond that I have with Morehouse men make homecoming extra special.
Honestly, there are many parts of Homecoming that make it special but here are the five things I’m looking forward to most at this year’s Spelhouse homecoming below.
4. The Greek Step Show
Growing up I always watched movies like Stomp the Yard, and School Daze which showcased Greek life on college campuses. The Greek Step show during homecoming is the pinnacle of Greek life performance. The AUC allows men and women from all three schools to get their best steppers and dancers together to compete in a full-on Step production.
Every year I have been able to attend the Step Show and witness a phenomenal show being put on by the HBCU students in the AUC. It is one of the most anticipated productions of the year.
