Send your Illinois State students’ siblings to campus to check out all of the fun activities available during Sibling Weekend at ISU! We have activities planned for all age groups! More events will be added to the list prior to the dates. Please check back for more information.
2019 Gamma Phi Circus
Please join us for the annual Gamma Phi Circus Spring Shows, a Sibling Weekend tradition that features performances by the oldest collegiate circus in the nation. This year marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of Gamma Phi at Illinois State University in 1929 by Clifford "Pop" Horton. So the circus is bringing out all the stops with this year's "Celebration" theme.
Matinee Carnival
Student Alumni Council welcomes you to its seventh annual pre-show Sibling’s Carnival on the Redbird Arena Concourse, beginning at noon prior to the 1 p.m. Saturday matinee show of Gamma Phi. This popular Sibling Weekend tradition is kid-approved and open to everyone that has a youth ticket to the matinee show. The carnival includes a variety of games, face painters, prizes, and fun for kids of all ages.
Strike Out with Siblings
University Program Board is getting siblings ready for the Redbird baseball game. We're talking boom sticks, foam fingers, and a lot of Redbird spirit! Stop by the lawn outside of Tri-Towers from 12:30-2 p.m. for free stadium food, games, crafts, shirts, and giveaways.

Redbird baseball takes on Missouri State all weekend. Take your siblings to Duffy Bass Field over by Tri-Towers to root for our team. Games are Friday at 5 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. and are free!
