Drake University students had a social media campaign to bring Drake, the famous rapper, to their University. Drake actually went to Drake University to surprise the college students around 2:30 in the morning. However, as Drake went knocking on the doors of the sorority and fraternity houses, they fell asleep on him.
Drake had a concert in Des Moines and decided to stop by Drake University, wearing Drake University's varsity jacket and their basketball jersey. Drake started knocking on Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house but the students were all asleep, he said in his Instagram video, according to The Guardian.
