Decorations, parade, football are some of the things you might think of when you hear the word homecoming.

For Northwestern, homecoming is about tradition.

Next week, while walking around campus, you will see many decorations that clubs and departments have worked hours planning and making while they try to have the best decorations.

If you plan on decorating a spirit board or sheet that fits the theme of Ranger Expedition they have to be turned into Kaylea Brown by Sept. 27 at 5 p.m.

The student government association planned several events for the week to get Rangers in the spirit of homecoming.

Starting off the week will be Monday night, many Rangers will head to 209 N 14th St. at 7:15 p.m. to attend a bonfire that will get fans fired up for the week ahead.

Tuesday night, fans will head to Percefull Fieldhouse to cheer on the volleyball team as they take on SWOSU at 6 p.m.

SGA has planned a Blackout the Pit event and encourages fans to wear black.

They will also give a prize to the most spirited fan of the night.

Wednesday night, students will drive out to Bradt’s Menagerie at 9 p.m., hoping to be one of the first 100 students with their student ID’s so that they can get into the Hay Maze for free.

Thursday night at 9 p.m. students will attend SGA’s block party on the street between Coronado and Cunningham Hall.

Friday, students will gather in Percefull Fieldhouse at noon for a pep rally where they will show their school spirit before the game Saturday.

Another big tradition will take place Thursday and Friday nights as high school seniors from around the area will compete in the Miss Cinderella competition for scholarships from NWOSU.
