Gallery: Homecoming parade welcomes alumni back to campus

The annual homecoming parade kicked off the game day festivities on Saturday morning. Sororities, Fraternities and other on-campus groups designed colorful floats and passed out candy to children, creating new memories for alumni and their families. The winning floats were from Gamma Sigma Phi and Delta Theta.
