Homecoming Week Activities Raise Funds for Ronald McDonald House
Last week, St. Louis College of Pharmacy students, faculty and staff showed their school pride during the annual Homecoming festivities. “Being a professional school, a lot of the emphasis here is on class work,” says Patrick Harper, Student Council president and fourth-year student. “The College strives for students to have the complete college experience, and Homecoming is one of those classic college things.”

This year students dressed to a different theme each day and participated in special events that took place throughout the week. The annual Olympiad games, banner contest, chili cook-off, and pie-eating contest brought together six different teams as they competed for the coveted homecoming trophy and cash prizes. Homecoming T-shirt and pizza sales helped raise more than $2,500 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Metro St. Louis, this year’s chosen charity. The week concluded with a men’s basketball game and a night of food, drink, and games at a nearby bowling alley.

The 2008 Olympiad Homecoming Winners are:
Banner Contest: Half and Half (a freshmen residence hall team)
Pie-eating Contest: Lambda Chi Alpha
Chili Cook-off: Lambda Kappa Sigma
Olympiad Winners: Kappa Psi
