Title

Sigma Kappa Homecoming lawn display, ""Argyles'll Sock 'em,"" first place in the sorority division, 1962

Description

This first place winner in the Sorority Division from Sigma Kappa consists of a large sock that is in the process of kicking the Kansas Jawhawk mascot. The sign in front partially reads, ""Argyles'll Sock 'em.""
Alumni first began returning to Iowa State for an official Homecoming in 1912. Since then, the celebration continues to entertain both young and old Iowa Staters, with traditional events, including tailgate parties, fireworks, lawn displays, ""Yell Like Hell"" cheering competition, and mass campaniling. Currently, the Student Alumni Association Leadership Council coordinates the efforts of hundreds of students, who volunteer their time to help Story County Habitat for Humanity build a house.
