It’s that time of the year!!!
10 HBCUs With The Best Homecoming Parties
Who knows how to get the party started better than a HBCU? Students all across the map are gearing up for that time of year when Hunch Punch is the drink of the weekend and parties are poppin’ all over the Yard. Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) were established for African Americans to get their education and become successful citizens of the world.
But when you work hard, you play even harder! For the next several Saturdays, HBCU alums will come back to their old stomping grounds to reconnect with undergrad boos, network and turn up!
Hit the flip to peep which HBCUs know throw the best Homecoming parties presented by Allstate…
The Minority Eve
Hampton
The prestigious (and famously-bourgeoisie) institution has the most beautiful women of any HBCU, world-famous bazaar with delicious fish sammiches and a newly wet campus with turnt tailgates but lacks the overall fun factor/enjoyable events of the more popular Homecomings.
Howard
It’s the quintessential HBCU Homecoming destination with the world-famous Yard Fest, endless celebrity appearances, legendary parties and can’t miss concerts all happening in always enjoyable D.C.
North Carolina A&T
ONLY A&T grads believe their beloved alma mater has the “Greatest Homecoming on Earth” but it’s mostly overrated. Fun? Absolutely, with daytime twerking on the yard, beautiful people with infectious school pride, good eats and a star-studded concert but it’s also in FarFromEveryoneAndEverything, NC.
Florida A&M
Watching fathers, husbands, Deacons and High School principals relive their Drum Major glory days by hitting splits during the Homecoming game is priceless. Best band/Homecoming game experience and the trillest parties? Yep, FAMU.
Spelhouse
Two prestigious HBCUs. One Homecoming. Twice the fun, especially on the yard where anything—and everything—can happen at any time in broad daylight. For the husband-thirsty ladies, there’s a whole school worth of educated men to choose from and vice versa during one of ATL’s biggest weekends.
Clark Atlanta University
It’s treated like the red-headed, blind, deaf, crippled step-child of the AUC (Atlanta University Center) but always has a poppin’ Homecoming that’s the same weekend as Spelhouse’s this year.
Alabama State University
The small Montgomery school’s Homecoming (or Turkey Day Classic) is truly an event where thousands from across the state and surrounding areas come to party, fellowship and scarf down countless southern delicacies.
Southern University
That glorious feeling in your soul when you blast Boosie at ignorant levels? That’s how Southern’s Homecoming feels from Friday to Sunday. Turn down in Baton Rouge? Never.
South Carolina State University
You wouldn’t think a school hidden in Orangeburg, SC (WHERE?) would be this TURNT, but it is, and has one of the most slept-on Homecomings in the nation.
Tennesse State University
If you are ever in Tennesse and don’t get the world famous BBQ in Nashville or sip Blue Juice at a Sigma Homecoming party at TSU then you’re missing out!
