Graduating from college after many years at times can make you miss how it is to be like a student again, most especially misses the schoolmates and friends you have gained. This is why alumni homecoming events are done on a yearly basis by most schools. This is one of the many ways of keeping in touch with old schoolmates and friends.
Similar to homecoming events, there are other activities in school that alumni can be welcomed to join. These are sports events that are usually for a big team such as basketball, volleyball and even cheering competitions. Alumni also attempts to be part of these activities because these are the highlighted sports activities in school even during their college days. These can remind them of ultimate team spirit, excitement and unity wherein they can shout their hearts out playing or cheering for their schools. This is why these are the events wherein bleachers are full, game tickets can be sold out fast, and of course there are many colorful school flags flown, waved and displayed by many supporters. Logos of schools are very evident not just thru flags and banners but through caps, masks and jersey outfits.
But for a calm type of alumni event, it would be thru homecomings. This is usually done in a school gym, in a restaurant, hotel function rooms or in a big house of an alumna, if someone offers. The alumni department makes sure that this yearly event can surely bring back the school spirit even thru simple school displays such as college flags.
