A university’s homecoming is a special time where alumni travel from across the world, in order to take part in the festivities along with the current students. This weekend, North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University welcomed back alumni for their homecoming, also known as GHOE, which stands for The Greatest Homecoming on Earth. It is one of the South’s most talked about and visited events, outside of the CIAA tournament. This year’s week long event lineup included Mike Epps hosting the comedy show, Kirk Franklin headlining the gospel show, while rapper T.I headlined for the homecoming concert. The concert also featured rappersJ.Cole, Juicy J, and singer Kelly Rowland.
The concert was spectacular and moved people out of their seats; the homecoming game was just as good. North Carolina A&T got their third straight homecoming win when they faced off against Virginia University of Lynchburg. Both offense and defense dominated the field in order to win the game, bringing an incredible win of 59-12 to their record.
Last but not least, let’s not forget about the parties. Along with the events that take place all week long, there are after parties throughout the week. Special guests at these parties included artistssuch as, rapper Meek Millz and singer Teyanna Taylor. The parties after the events usually last until 4 a.m. and that does not include the house parties people attend. Every year GHOE gets bigger and better, next year should be no different. Make sure you mark it down on the calendar for next year because you wouldn't want to miss The Greatest Homecoming on Earth.
