LITTLE ROCK, AR (Nov. 2, 2010) Philander Smith College’s Pre-Alumni Council is hosting an United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Block Party, Sunday, Nov. 7, from 1 to 6 p.m. The block party is the first event for Philander Smith’s 2010 Homecoming schedule.
There will be refreshments, games, and a Greek stroll-off, in which fraternity and sorority members compete in a synchronized strut in a line formation. A live band will perform. The party will be held in the parking area in front of the Cox Building.
