Siblings Day or "Sibs Day" is a great way to not only create another opportunity to connect with your families, but also to expose a younger generation to campus life. Georgia Tech Parent & Family Programs proudly hosted Sibs Day for a third year on February 11, 2017. Georgia Tech students were encouraged to host brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, family friends-you name it (ages 7-17) and give them taste of campus life–Yellow Jacket-style! NOTE: Parents and family members are welcome at all events, but must register as a participant as well.
Throughout the day, participants enjoyed the following from 9am-9pm:
- Campus tours focused on Georgia Tech traditions
- Brunch in North Avenue Dining Hall
- Educational Sessions
- Dinner
- Georgia Tech Men's Basketball game
- Other fun activities
A $45 per person fee is charged to cover the costs of two meals (brunch and dinner), various campus activities, including entrance into the Men’s Basketball game against Boston College, a souvenir t-shirt and sling bag. A limited number tickets are available for $25 per person for parents to join their children for dinner and the basketball game.
What are parents saying about Sibs Day at Georgia Tech?
“[Our kids] had so much fun and are very eager to do it again.
Normally, they don’t get one on one time with their [GT student] sibling without mom around, so it was a nice change.”
“GT is all [my son] can talk about. He loved hanging out with "real" students and being on a college campus.
He really wants to be a Yellow Jacket!”
