The University held it’s Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally Friday night. The parade featured a Disney-themed float competition between sororities and fraternities, the University’s marching band, and the Duck mascot among other things. The parade followed a route down East 13th Ave., turned down Agate Street, headed back up East 15th, and finished on University Street next to the EMU Amphitheater. A pep rally was subsequently held in the EMU Amphitheater soon afterward, followed by a Jam Session featuring On The Rocks and The Whiskey Chasers.
