At the beginning of the week during chapel, all final nominees are announced to the rest of the student body, and a second voting will take place, which is open to all students. The queen will be announced on the Homecoming court during the Harding Bison football game, which starts at 2 p.m. tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Senior Mallory Harrison will be balancing a busy schedule throughout the weekend as she is involved with the marching band, orchestra and Homecoming court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cI\u2019m part of the Homecoming musical pit orchestra \u2026 so we\u2019ll have rehearsals all week leading up to it, and then we\u2019ll have the shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday,\u201d Harrison said. \u201cThe game will be interesting because I\u2019m part of the marching band, too, so I\u2019ll be changing from my band uniform to my dress and then back into my band uniform. It will be wild, but it will be lots of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In addition to tailgating, some Harding social clubs will be having events specifically for their alumni. Men\u2019s social club Sub T-16 will be hosting their annual alumni breakfast, where alumni and current members will gather for a meal Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Senior Josh Walker, alumni relations director for Sub T-16, said he is looking forward to having alumni and members together to share old memories and make new ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cIt\u2019s something I look forward to every year because it\u2019s a time when you get the whole club together,\u201d Walker said. \u201cYou have alumni [who are] coming, and they get a chance to see where the club is now, where it is a few years later and \u2026 the way it\u2019s grown and possibly changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Women\u2019s social club Zeta Rho is also hosting a \u201cZP Homecoming Tea\u201d for their alumni to get together and visit with one another and current members before the Homecoming tailgate on Saturday. Senior Abbie Lippincott, Zeta Rho\u2019s alumni relations director, is hoping this year\u2019s tea will catch on as an annual alumni event. Both Walker and Lippincott agreed that connections with alumni are important for their social club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cThese are the women that helped make our club what it is today,\u201d Lippincott said. \u201cThe [alumni] want to know what\u2019s going on and be able to support and pray for something that meant so much to them during their time at Harding. They still get excited about Zeta Rho winning a game or getting new beaux, and having women that some of us haven\u2019t even met supporting us is such a cool thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading up to Homecoming weekend, each women\u2019s social club and other student organizations nominate a member of their club to run for Homecoming queen.
