Anticipation Builds For Spelhouse Homecoming 2017
An HBCU Homecoming is a special time of reflection for alumni and current students alike. There are copious parties, bonding between Greeks, free-flowing drinks and food, and ultimately fellowship between people enamored by their life-changing experience at their respective historically black college.
Just a few weeks ago GHOE, or North Carolina A&T’s “Greatest Homecoming On Earth”, dominated social media with pictures and videos of Aggies reminiscing on old memories and making new ones.

Every year there’s a flood of parties starting from the Thursday and ending Sunday.
This year parties like #OliveBranchAlumni, a staple at the AUC that brings Spelman, Morehouse and Clark Atlanta together during undergrad, is back with a swanky day party for alumni.
There’s also a huge night party at Atlanta’s Opium nightclub.

Let’s just hope there isn’t another #AquaGate scandal this year. Hopefully, the dolphins have recovered by now. Right T-12?

Ah yes, arguably the highlight of Spelhouse homecoming is the tailgate where alumni dish out dough to enjoy food and (non-alcoholic, of course) beverages in a family-style cookout fashion. There are Greek tents, organization tents, alumni tents, random person who didn’t even go here tents, etc.
Our Radio One family will have an #HBCULove Tailgate Tour truck on site this year; stop by for celebrity appearances, a live DJ, and giveaways.
The game.

This year Morehouse plays Benedict College at 2:00 p.m. at B.T. Harvey Stadium.
Precisely 14 freshmen and a ton of old heads rocking Morehouse para down to the socks will surely be in attendance. At least the band and Mahogany – N – Motion will be there to fill the stands.
The people.
