Pomp \’Till You Drop: Creating a WKU Homecoming Float

There is one word that strikes a chord in the hearts of every member of Greek life: “pomping.” For one week, fraternities and sororities spend hours making tiny balls of tissue paper to turn into a float for Homecoming. Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta joined forces to create their float before the homecoming parade on Saturday, Nov. 15. Talisman videographer Kayden Mulrooney went behind the scenes to capture the work that goes into each float.
