More student organizations on campus are participating in Homecoming, marking a new era in the OCU community.
Homecoming has previously been filled primarily with Greek organizations, and other student groups would only occasionally participate.S
Homecoming was never designated solely for Greek organizations. However, it seems that in the past only a few organizations outside of Greek life have been involved.
Homecoming is meant to bring the entire campus together, and when just a few members of the school are participating, it is hard to get everyone else to feel included in the welcoming celebration.
More student organizations have stepped up to participate this year than ever before, making Homecoming a more inclusive and approachable event. Multiple groups, including the Female Empowerment Club, the multicultural organizations and Miracle Marathon are participating in the banner making event. By getting involved, these groups are showing that all organizations are important and deserving of recognition.
Students can show support for their peers, whether that means taking a few extra minutes to check out the banners in the gym or the themed structures on the quad. Students work hard on these creations, and their hard work should not go unnoticed.
Students should also make an effort to attend other Homecoming events, such as Stars on the Plaza, Lip Sync and the film screening of American Heretics.
Attending these events brings our community together. These events are planned specifically to get students to participate in social events, as well as support all student organizations. Every student association or group deserves our encouragement and attendance of their events.
Students also should take advantage of the opportunities to see sports events during Homecoming. OCU has multiple sports teams full of talented players who deserve the same kind of student support as the performing arts. Students should try to attend the basketball game and tailgate on Nov. 2. They should make an effort to be present at their classmates’ matches, tournaments and games to support all the talent OCU has to offer.
It is important for student organizations to continue participating in Homecoming. Students should get involved, whether they are in Greek Life or not, to better enjoy and support the campus commmunity.
