Greek Homecoming winners announced By Sydney.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com
Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily Members of the greek community perform during Friday night’s final round of Yell like Hell, a Homecoming tradition where Greek members shout and perform a skit for a panel of judges. This year’s Yell like Hell winners were Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Delta Pi and Acacia. Lawn display competitions took place after Yell Like Hell on Friday night.
Yell Like Hell 2015 concluded with glitter flying and plenty of Cyclone spirit this weekend. Three final pairings painted their bodies in cardinal and gold and performed during the Pep Rally in front of the Alumni Center starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Fourteen pairings originally performed their skits Oct. 25 in front of seven judges, who chose eight pairings to be painted for second cuts Wednesday. The first pairing to take the stage during the final performance was Cyclone Bootcamp, which was made up of Sigma Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Triangle. The winning pairing of Yell Like Hell 2015, Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Delta Pi and Acacia, took the stage next with their original skit, Graduation CYremony. “We just knew we wanted to win, and we really worked on the judges’ critiques from the last two performances,” said Abby Bergquist, sophomore in management information systems and member of Alpha Delta Pi. The last group to perform was made up of Chi Omega, Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi with a skit titled CYrassic Park. During the final performances, pairings no longer had a time limit to consider. With the conclusion of Yell Like Hell, came the start of Lawn Displays. Lawn Displays, which has been

around since Iowa State’s first Homecoming in 1912, is a competition between the greek houses to create the best display on their houses’ yards This year, the display shows began at 8 p.m. Friday and ended at 10 p.m. Every house had the chance to show off its creation to students and the public. Each pairing built a lawn display based on creativity to present to the audience after the Pep Rally. Some of the themes of the night included Halloweentown, Disney and Amesbridge. The winning group consisted of Theta Delta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Phi with their “Peter Pan” themed display. Chandler Bane, junior in agricultural systems technology and a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, said it took members a little over a month to build the entirety of the set for their lawn display. “It’s a time commitment and it takes a lot of will-power,” Bane said. This was Bane’s third year helping with the building process of his pairing’s lawn display. At 11:15 p.m. Friday, the winners in the greek community of the various Homecoming events were announced on Central Campus before mass campaniling and fireworks began at midnight. The winning pairing of Homecoming 2015 was Chi Omega, Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi. As this year’s Homecoming festivities come to a close, the greek community prepares for Varieties starting Nov. 8 and Greek Week in the spring.
