Blue & White Homecoming is October 17-18, 2025. See you there!

Whether you want to cheer on the Vikings at a game or take in a musical performance, we’ve got a full schedule of activities. Join us on campus to be part of all the exciting things happening!

This year, we are lifting up our long history of fraternity and sorority life – 165 years and counting! You can be part of the Greek Gathering, homecoming events that honor the legacy of Greek life at Lawrence. Register for a free open house, connect with current Greek-affiliated students, and share your memories!

Unless otherwise noted, events are free of charge and do not require registration. While all are welcome at all events, primary audiences are noted within each event description below.
