Purple and Gold Alumni Weekend is making a return in 2024 after a year-long pause. Join us for a vibrant mix of activities, games, live music, tours, and a unique opportunity to stay in WCU’s Greek Village. All alumni are invited to reconnect, relive memories, and enjoy the festivities. This year, we will celebrate the Class of 1973 and 1974 with a special recognition. Additionally, there will be a dedicated celebration for our Greek alumni, featuring the triumphant return of Greek games!
Make the most of the weekend by staying on campus! Rooms are available in the Greek Village for those who would like to experience the nostalgia of staying at WCU. Off-campus accommodations can be made through the Comfort Inn of Sylva.
