Greek Step Show | Homecoming 2025

*Please note that Howard University Homecoming 2025 event dates are tentative and subject to change.

Howard University’s Homecoming Greek Step Show is one of the world’s most extraordinary wonders. Stepping, especially as performed by Black Greek-lettered organizations in America, is part entertainment, part history lesson, part ancestral homage, and part prideful boast. The blend of military precision, acrobatics, rhythm, song, and chant is a testament to generations of achievement and struggle. Put simply, stepping is Black America’s gift to the world, made famous by the “Divine Nine” fraternities and sororities, five of which were founded at Howard. The Yard is stepping’s natural home.

You’ll travel on a journey through time, from the rituals of the motherland through the pain of the African diaspora to the triumph of education over oppression. Rethink your definition of showmanship as you witness performances made possible through extraordinary dedication, dexterity, and determination, and the manifestation of unbreakable bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood.
 

This is traditionally a ticketed event. Stay tuned for additional information.
