Shippensburg University D.I.V.A.S. organization hosted its Divaween event on Oct. 30 in Gilbert Hall. 

The D.I.V.A.S. set up the room with multicolored lights and balloons in the classic purple, black and orange Halloween colors. 

They played classic Halloween songs as well as more unique songs that they put together for the event. There were tables set up, including pumpkins for carving, painting and decorating. 

Tables were set up with snacks like chips, soda, cookies and many other sweet Halloween treats. Everyone was able to grab a plate and enjoy the food while starting to decorate their pumpkins. 

The D.I.V.A.S. decided to go around and let everyone introduce themselves so that nobody felt out of place. This helped to break the ice between people who were new to the group and people who came for the event, making it easier for everybody to socialize and talk. 

While decorating the pumpkins, the music played, and everyone got to work. 

Attendees came dressed in costumes. From cats to angels to pirates. Everybody had their own creative look and came to celebrate. 

At one point, everybody came together for a picture on the stage, showing their Halloween spirit. 

Mikah Hudson, one of the co-chairs of D.I.V.A.S., said, “We wanted to have a chance to be together and bond, to celebrate Halloween and have the spirit people are looking for.”

The party was a spirit-filled event, and the D.I.V.A.S. made sure everyone was involved and had fun.
