Homecoming celebration hit fever pitch Thursday night with the annual Yell Like Hell event.

Students packed into the Mabee Library to get pumped up for Saturday’s Homecoming game against Missouri Western State University. During the event, members of Greek Life, along with student athletes and organizations, showed school spirit by performing dance routines for the crowd.

The event also served as a collection point for the Can Emporia food drive that asks students to donate canned and non-perishable food items that will be given to local food pantries. Students can contribute to Can Emporia through October 31.

Homecoming week will come to a head on Saturday with a parade at 10 a.m., followed by the football game at 1 p.m. For a full list of remaining homecoming events, visit www.washburn.edu/homecoming
