Top Ten ways to really enjoy homecoming

Matt Melton

Schmoozing Master

  1. Check out the impromptu car show in the cook stadium parking lot during the football game(there’s been a Lamborghini three years running...).

  2. Make some smores at the bonfire – from roughly 20 feet away.

  3. Head down to the bonfire in a swimsuit and get your last free tan of the summer.

  4. Go to Cook Stadium and mistake the crowd for a division one football rivalry.

  5. Free lunch from all the frats at the football game! Except for you freshmen…you‘ll just have to wait for the next four weeks of Rush.

  6. Be “that guy” that tries to touch the bonfire right at the start and never makes it because he doesn’t understand what “really hot” means.

  7. Scalp bonfire t-shirts to the alum for double the price.

  8. Lake with reckless abandon – alums would love to relive their college days and help you!

  9. Ask alums for their favorite Purdue, DePauw, and civil jokes, ISU acronyms, or what the Thorn really stands for.

  10. Schmooze the alums and maybe get some free drinks. If that fails, just ask them for a job – it’ll probably be easier.
