Gallery: Parade welcomes back ACU community to campus

The annual Homecoming Parade headlined a busy weekend that welcomed alumni back to campus. The Fraternities and Sororities on campus, along with various other student organizations, competed for the best float. This year’s winners were Gamma Sigma Phi for the fraternity division, Sigma Theta Chi for the sorority division, and the Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Club for the student organization division. The parade also featured various guests, including this year’s Homecoming Court and Coming Home Court, and other members of the ACU community.
