Water Balloons

One thing that you probably realize is Longwood is in the town of Farmville... which to you might not seem so exciting. However we do realize that we might be in a farm town, however there is always something fun going on. The week after Oktoberfest the fraternity Alpha Sigma Phi put on a water balloon fight. It was a lot of fun, and just one example of some pretty cool stuff we Longwood students do to have fun!

Oktoberfest 2009

Oktoberfest 2009 :) First you will see the spirit leaders do their traditional dance. Next KLOWNS are performing. A long time ago at Longwood, we actually had a circus complete with clowns and animals. KLOWNS is a way to keep that long standing tradition going, just in a little different way. This years Oktoberfest was amazing, with a cookout, tons of booths and music all day. It really is an amazing event we all look forward to!

Color Wars!

Color wars is probably one of the most fun traditions here at Longwood. When you come to Longwood you get a class color, if you come in on an even year you are red class. Right now Seniors and Sophomores are RED CLASS :) and Juniors and Freshman are green class. (Longwood is the only school where RED and GREEN make BLUE :). Each year the start of Oktoberfest begins at 4:00 pm that Friday with Color Wars. As you will see in the video, we basically group in red and green class and throw paint on each other. It is a huge tradition and a lot of fun!

Alzheimer’s Walk Kick off to Oktoberfest!

The Thursday before Oktoberfest weekend each year, the campus participates in an Alzheimer's walk. This is where the honorary spirit leaders are announced (they are professors or Longwood faculty that exhibit amazing spirit for Longwood and the students). They also announce the Junior Miss Oktoberfest, Miss Oktoberfest, Junior Mr Oktoberfest and Mr Oktoberfest. After we do a walk around the campus the students end on Stubbs Lawn for a cookout and music. It is a lot of fun and contributes to an amazing cause.
