Despite temperatures in the low 90s, the annual Welcome Week Block Party on Fredonia Avenue featured a street filled with students Aug. 24.
Fraternity and sorority chapters welcomed students with root beer floats, mechanical bull rides, yard games and Sno-Cones. Many of the chapters kept their traditions for the event, such as Delta Upsilon passing out Monster products.
New features this year included inflatable jousting and bounce house attractions provided by the Student Activities Office.
As the Fraternity and Sorority Life Student Worker, junior busi- ness management and administra- tion major Mitch Kuldell, helped students sign up for fall recruitment at the event. “It’s awesome and I’m happy to see both greeks and non-greeks out here welcoming everyone back to Bradley,” Kuldell said. “I think the only thing the weather affected was how much water we gave out; everyone’s still in great spirits and we had a great turnout.”
