‘STILLWATER, THE TOWN THAT BUILT US’ stablished in 1890 and still strong in 2015, Stillwater is not just our home for the next four years but for life. The women of Pi Beta Phi and the men of Alpha Gamma Rho proudly present our house decoration: “Stillwater, The Town That Built Us.” With our Homecoming decoration, we hope to welcome back our alumni by sharing our favorite memories from Stillwater and recalling theirs. While exemplifying how the traditions at OSU live with us forever, our house decoration shows Stillwater is not just a town, it’s the town that built us.

‘TIME IS THE GREATEST DISTANCE’ ur theme, “Time is the Greatest Distance,” represents the idea that time is the only thing that separates OSU Cowboys. Regardless of how far Cowboys travel from Stillwater, they are always part of the OSU family.

Our dec strives to show that although the past, present and future might look different, we all share the common bond of being OSU Cowboys. Distance is at the forefront of this weekend as alumni travel back to Stillwater from all over the world for this

time-honored tradition. Alpha Tau Omega and Alpha Delta Pi would like to do our part in honoring this tradition and our treasured alumni. Students and alumni should always know that no matter how great the distance from Stillwater, our experiences and memories will bind us all into eternity!
