It was a UW Homecoming week to remember, as thousands of alumni, students, friends, and Badgers of all ages converged on campus to enjoy spirited events and activities!
We kicked off the Homecoming festivities on Wednesday with a Family-Friendly Scavenger Hunt, featuring your favorite badger! Missed out on the virtual event? Check out the recording here, and play along any time you'd like!
On Friday morning flamingo fooler took over Bascom Hill during Fill the Hill. Each year, the famous pink lawn flamingos flock to Bascom Hill as part of a fundraising effort that brings campus lore to life in support of the university. This year, Fill the Hill raised more than any other year, surpassing $500,000!
Friday’s block party and pep rally set the tone — and that tone was rockin’, as alumni DJs spun tunes, The Madhatters a cappella group crooned, and the UW Marching Band played by the light of the moon.
The festivities continued Friday evening during the Multicultural Homecoming Yard Show. Members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) showcased some of their newest step, stroll, and salute routines. These performances are part of a tradition that turns up the excitement of UW Homecoming and highlights the importance of each council.
Badgers kicked back in the Divine Nine Plaza Saturday morning! The Divine Nine kickback has become a new tradition that celebrates the history and contributions of the Black fraternities and sororities that form the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC).
An hour before the football game against Rutgers kicked off on Saturday, the Multicultural Homecoming Tailgate welcomed a vibrant performance by the Dynamic Badgerettes while guests mingled, danced, and cheered on the Badgers!
