Leanna's Last Undergrad Homecoming

10/29/2013

Hello! This is Leanna (again)!

I just wanted to share a little bit about my homecoming experience from this past weekend!!

My mom actually surprised me and came up for the weekend! It was really nice to be able to share my last undergrad experience with her by my side!

The alumni mixer was super awesome! I got to meet one of my distant distant bigs! :) Though it was crazy buying stuff, setting up, and working pigskin, it all seemed to work out! (Thanks Chelsea :D)

Though all the typical homecoming festivities were enjoyable, the most memorable experience was marching pregame and playing the Baylor Line. It was so hard for me to believe that next year I will be standing up in the stands, raising my bear claw, and not on the field with my family. Thankfully, I know I am not alone! You all have been there and If you haven’t yet, your time will come faster than you imagine it will. Cherish every moment you have and live in the present. Your time at Baylor will be over faster than you ever thought it could! Enjoy it!!! :)

Hi Sisters! My name is Heather & I'm the webmaster of Iota! I thought the perfect post to sum up the last few weeks should be all about homecoming! :3 I'm sure a lot of you miss the whole BUGWB Homecoming day! :3 In case you do miss it, please enjoy these photos of Homecoming weekend Iota style :D

Here's a photo from the Iota & Beta Alpha Alumni mixer on Friday night after the bon fire :3 This is the original Pink Swirl family (minus Nathalie!) From Left to Right: Heather Sony Schuster, Lauren Lindigrin, Me (Heather McGowan), and Kim Jones :3 Yay bigs & littles!

Here is beautiful (CREEPY), Floyd Casey at 6:45am on Homecoming Day! WOOO!

7:20am, the buses roll out to the beginning of the parade route :3

Kim & Me wide awake and smiling, ready for the parade :3

LOOK! I have on my rec bar! :3

"Did I get into your picture, Kim?" :D

"Take a picture of me jumping since I am sooooo EXCITED!" haha! Keep in mind that it is 7:30am...

Aww!! Roommate Senior picture! We're really excited that this is our last Homecoming parade :D

Here's a beautiful picture of Emily, the BUGWB homecoming queen nominee :D Her car number was #9 (chicka chickaw!)

And here's beautiful Brenna representing Tau Beta Sigma :D She had the pleasure in riding in Travis Earp's car with her boyfriend Ben Gloff :D Travis is an alum of Beta Alpha

Aww :) Here's Beta Alpha's sweetheart, Lynn :D (It's hard to make a cute pose in a uniform... haha)

And here's Lynn with her boyfriend, Colby with the infamous BU Bear in the background :D

I love this giant blow up bear :D

Here's the back half of the band getting ready for the parade :D

Yay! Kim's squad looking all cute and happy at 8:00am :D

HOMECOMING STRETCHES! I will definitely miss these :D

It's a beautiful day to BEAT SOME JAYHAWKS :D

Oh yeah! We are ready for Pre-Game :D

There was a mild rain delay after half-time, so the band & alumni band was able to go into a weight room to wait it out.

While waiting, we decided to take fun pictures :) The alumnae made me feel so loved! I can't wait to be a part of the alumni band next year :)

Chelsea Middleton: "How do sororities take pictures now-a-days? Let's try it!"
Haha... We look so awkward! Especially me with my 5'2" self next to Lauren :D

The rain is moving away! This is one side of the stadium,

and this is the other side of the stadium :D So beautiful :D

Finally, after the parade, rehearsal, pre-game, awesome half-time, rain delay, and football game win, WE SING :D

Sic 'em IOTA :3

Needless to say, I think I'm still on a homecoming high :) I loved getting to see all the alumnae (especially my big sister!). As a JA 2 years ago, I didn't care much for the Homecoming traditions of catching up with alumni, but I'm definitely starting to appreciate it more now that I actually know people who are alumni. :D

As webmaster, I definitely tweeted a lot during the Homecoming weekend, so shout out to Kim who took pictures for me when my phone died in the second quarter of the game :3 If you haven't already, please follow TBSiota on twitter to get updates for blog posts & to see how the sisterhood is doing :3

I can't wait to be considered an alumna next Homecoming & enjoy all the festivities that normal alumni get to experience during Homecoming weekend :3

<3 ITB
Heather

PS: In case you missed it (or want to watch it again), check out our Homecoming halftime performance :3 The fun starts at around 5:30

Hello Alumni!

My name is Taylor and I am a member of the history committee this semester along with Kathryn Dunn and our History Chair, Jenny Bates. We all know that this particular day has been historically busy for all involved in it. This year we decided to make all the information you need to know about Homecoming available to you online for your convenience! This way, you’ll know what’s going on from the get-go and always have a copy!

In case you didn’t know yet, Homecoming is November 5th! We’ll be playing (and destroying) Missouri at Floyd Casey Stadium. Be expecting an invitation in the mail from us very soon. GET EXCITED! Below is a schedule for game day:

8:30am Homecoming Parade

1:30pm Band Practice

4:00pm Dinner

7:00pm Kick Off

Also the annual Homecoming Iota/Beta Alpha Alumni Mixer is the Friday night before homecoming (11/4)!! Meet us outside of Recital Hall II 30 minutes after the Bonfire! This is located on the left side of Waco Hall if you are looking at it from front entrance. We will be meeting outside of the building, so just walk around the grassy area.

Try to wear your rec bars or membership pins (if you still have them) this weekend - whichever you can find. This way the active members can pick y'all out of the crowd.

If there are any changes to the schedule, the blog will be updated ASAP. Iota cannot wait to see all of our beautiful alumni on one of the most exciting days of the year for Baylor University! See you soon!

ITB
