Homecoming is in February at Drexel. The Crystal Ball, a semi-formal affair, is the final event of Homecoming week. At the Crystal Ball, the Homecoming king and queen will be announced.

The voting for king and queen is done a little differently than what most people are used to. Each candidate represents a school organization, but more importantly they each pick a charity. The voting for each candidate is done through money ballots. Voting is carried out for the week leading up to the events, where students can donate cash or change to the charities. The candidate who has received the most money for their cause is crowned the king and queen of Homecoming.

The CAB works hard every year to put on a wonderful event, which students always enjoy. Past Crystal Balls have consisted of a Las Vegas theme as well as a "Celebrate the City" boat tour around the city. The $40 per couple tickets includes transportation, dinner as well as the event itself.
