Homecoming

We are very excited for our many homecoming activities this year. Nine of the 14 candidates on Homecoming court are Mortar Boarders this year! We are very proud of their accomplishments. We have the traditional window painting, Cords, walking in the parade, and hosting out Alumni Tailgate before the game. We would love all of you to come back, meet the current chapter, and be apart of the Purdue festivities! Plan to attend on October 3rd!

Mortar Board Volleyball Premier

In support of Women Athletics, we were excited to kick off the school year with our annual Mortar Board Volleyball Premier. We hosted the first weekend competition and had an amazing student turnout at each match! There was no lack of support for the athletes and Purdue finished the tournament in second place. Feedback from students was extremely positive and we look forward to hosting this event in the future!

About Mortar Board at Purdue University

Mortar Board, upon its founding at Syracuse University in 1918, became the first national organization honoring senior college women. In the Fall of 1926, the Purdue Chapter of Mortar Board was chartered and since that time has grown to preeminence in the national organization, which claims 226 college chapters. Mortar Board remained a society for senior women until 1975 when men were permitted to be selected to its prestigious ranks. more
