Waco Hall was packed to the brim Thursday evening with families and friends with who showed up to cheer on the eight Greek organizations performing in Pigskin Revue 2025.

Like Lalani and the women who came before her, Clemons sees homecoming not just as a weekend of celebration, but as a living, evolving tradition that showcases pride and binds Baylor women and the Waco community.

While homecoming only lasts a week, several months of planning and preparation are put in by the Baylor Chamber of Commerce to ensure that these traditions will run smoothly and be memorable for the Baylor community.

Crowning a homecoming queen has been a tradition at Baylor since 1934, and it continues to be a prestigious position passed down from student to student.

Baylor Homecoming traditions help bridge the gap for out-of-state students by hosting unique community experiences. Many states don’t indulge in the spirited football games or the big homecoming traditions that Texas has.

The Baylor homecoming court might have been a beauty contest in the past, but it is now a celebration of an individual’s ability to represent the character and passion of the university.
