A&T Homecoming 2009, like so many before it, was one to remember. And they just keep getting better.
From campus events like the step and comdey show to tailgaiting before the football game, there's never is a dull moment. Though all the students enjoy homecoming, no one loves or appreciates it more than the alumni.
Ashlyn Worthy, an alumni of North Carolina A&T, is one of hundreds of alumni who came out to revisit the excitment of homecoming. In an interview with her, we talked about How this years homecoming campared to the ones held when she was a freshman and how she feels when she cames home.
1. How does it feel to be back at A&T?
Well I haven't been gone that long, so some things do feel the same. However, looking back on my time spent at A&T and seeing all the new people and faces brings back a lot of great memories.
2. What has been your favorite event(s) for homecoming?
I'd have to say the football game and the step show. I can't remember a time when we actually won our homecoming game, but i there was still a lot of "aggie pride".
3. What do you remember most about your first homecoming?
Everything! The football game, which we lost i think, the step show, comedy show and of course experiencing my first college party. I was a real "aggie maniac" back then. There were so many things going on and being freshman I wanted to do and see it all.
4. How do you feel when you you see the new, upcoming members of AKA?
It almost brings a tear to my eye. I remember it was after the homecoming step show that I decided I wanted to be an AKA. That, and the fact that most of the women in my family already were, so the decision was already made. I feel proud and hope they take full advantage of the opportunities they will have. It's such a great experience though. I love all my line sisters and still keep in touch with them.
5. Will you be attending next year's homecoming?
Of course I will. Homecoming isn't an event, it's a lifestyle, and it's something you can't live without.
