\"Photo<\/a>On the evening of October 18, 2025, the Cavaliers took on The Washington State Cougars for our much-anticipated annual Homecoming game. The game did not disappoint as the Hoos prevailed 22 \u2013 20 in a closely contested battle.<\/p>\n

Prior to the game, we had a well-attended open house at One University Circle for alumni, actives, and their families and friends. We served Raising Cane\u2019s chicken and Jersey Mike\u2019s subs, as well as plenty of ice-cold beer. This is the third year in a row we have hosted this event, and we hope that many more alumni will return each year.<\/p>\n

Please join your fellow Phis for Homecomings at One University Circle on October 10, 2026 prior to the football game against Syracuse.<\/strong> We are in the process of securing a ticket block for our fellow Phis to sit together. Keep an eye out for more information – the purchasing link and game time will be announced later this summer! We had a large turnout of brothers last year from many eras. We will be serving a light meal as well as your favorite cold beverage. Bring your fellow Phis, friends and family; all are welcome. Wahoowa!<\/p>\n
