(Gallery) UNC’s ‘Friday on the Quad Showcase’: 2021 Homecoming Edition
CHAPEL HILL, NC – The most frequent comment among the 300 students who gathered on the quad at the UNC main administration building Friday (11/5) night was, “It felt like we were students again.”
And that was the intention. With the South Building’s collegiate Georgian architecture as the backdrop, The Friday on the Quad Showcase: Homecoming Edition was sponsored by the Kappa Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the Mu Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. It included sponsorship by the Carolina Union Activities Board and highlighted UNC-Chapel Hill student organizations.
Both the Deltas and the Alphas stepped but the evening also included a powerful opening by Voices of Praise UNC Gospel Choir as well as memorable performances by Harmonyx a capella group, UNC Blue Lightning stomp, and shake group, and Ebony Readers/Onyx Theatre (EROT) spoken word.
Of course, there was also the “Intermission” a stroll and dance break, led by host Officially Rich and DJ ZULU, that had almost the entire audience moving
