Two Student Life departments – Fraternity and Sorority Life and Services for Students with Children - are coordinating Halloween-themed activities on one evening so children, parents, and guardians can maximize the excitement of the holiday.
Both events are 5 to 7 p.m. October 29, 2024 and are free to attend. Minor children must be accompanied by an adult to participate.
Children and adults alike are encouraged to dress in Halloween costumes.
Location: The route starts outside the Nebraska Union and continues at the chapter houses along R Street and 16th Street.
After a one-year hiatus, this perennial campus favorite makes a triumphant return to the Halloween scene.
Nearly 30 fraternity and sorority chapters will offer treats, fun, and decorations for the kids to enjoy.
Attendees will first stop at the Nebraska Union’s Memorial Plaza to sign in with the Greek Street team and receive a map. Nine chapters will have activities on the Plaza.
From the plaza, adults can guide their children at their own pace for trick or treating at 15 additional chapter houses along R Street and 16th Street.
Location: The Crib, inside the Nebraska Union
Enjoy a multitude of Halloween-themed indoor hands-on crafts and activities for kids and adults to enjoy doing together, including:
- cookie decorating
- painting and decorating pumpkin-shaped stress balls
- pin-the-eye on the monster contest
This event will be enjoyed by children ages 2 to 10 years.
