One HBCU who’s tradition is over 118 years old, the largest HBCU in the state of North Carolina, leading with the most graduated African-American engineers in the nation, HBCUs largest agricultural school, and home of the ”A&T Four” the leaders of the Greensboro Sit-Ins. North Carolina A&T State University has great history along with a richer tradition. Alumni such as Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., Terrence J from BET’s 106 & Park, and the late NASA Astronaut Ronald McNair and a great undergrad student body, it is well known in Aggieland that its tradition and pride is nationwide.

Each and every fall during football season all alumni and current undergrad students come together to celebrate what is called homecoming. Homecoming is an annual event takes place each football season during a home conference game, this year it takes place on October 8-16, 2011. With the self-proclaimed name Greatest Homecoming On Earth (GHOE) is a week filled with activities and fun all week long. GHOE 2011 has events for all ages and not just for current students and alumni. With over 40,000 alumni homecoming has grown over the past 85 years, which give alumni a chance to come back to Aggieland and socialize and reminisce with old classmates.

 

This years events include a list of star studded events with a Gospel Show featuring Mary Mary kicking the week off on Monday, the LMAO Comedy Tour with comedians Aries Spears, Lil Duval, and Gary Owens on Wednesday, and the Self-Made Tour with Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Marsha Ambrosius, Wale, Miguel, Ace Hood, and Meek Mill on Saturday. Along with a Fashion Show, National Pan-Hellenic Step Show, and Aggie Fan Fest which is free for all with games, food, and vendors. The fan fest takes place Friday-Sunday, which makes it a great family event this weekend. 

With all of these events going on throughout the week it hard to remember about the most important event of the week the football game. The Aggies (3-2) take on Delaware State on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at 1:30pm in Aggie Stadium. I’m quite sure that it will be a event with great football and even better sounds from the Aggies Blue and Gold Marching Machine.
