That time Drake made a surprise visit to Drake University

Drake made a late-night visit to two sorority houses on Wednesday morning. Where? Drake University, natch.

Students at the university have been begging the rap star to visit the school that shares his name (no relation, in case you were wondering) for months, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported.

And the #BringDraketoDrake campaign actually worked.

First, at a concert in Des Moines, where Drake wore a Drake University jacket and basketball jersey.

And students thought Drake doing a concert nearby was the closest he would get to the school.

Just got word from @DrakeUniversity that @Drake management said he won't have time to stop by campus today. #BringDraketoDrake — Matthew Leimkuehler (@mattleimkuehler) October 4, 2016

Disappointing.

The entire student body is running toward Drake the rapper. It was a false alarm. #BringDraketoDrake @DrakeUniversity pic.twitter.com/GfIhXm4BUU — Sam Fathallah (@SamFathallah) October 4, 2016

But then the rapper actually showed up at the houses of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta, Jarad Bernstein, director of public relations and media management, told the Chronicle.

But it was a long road before Drake came to campus.

We've noticed people trying to recreate the photo of @Drake, so to assure an Instagram quality photo we put these down. #BringDraketoDrake pic.twitter.com/FX0s6rg2km — Drake University (@DrakeUniversity) October 5, 2016

Students, and even the university's president, stormed Twitter and Instagram with posts, pleading with Drake to come visit.

The best part of #BringDraketoDrake is hearing all your professors ask what "I'mma pull up on ya" means — Melissa Studach (@melissastudach) October 4, 2016

Hope I get the chance to show @Drake my presidential bling when he comes to campus! #BringDraketoDrake pic.twitter.com/0d5CbXTys7 — Marty Martin (@drakepresident) October 1, 2016

They even made a video inviting him.

Some might say this visit was "Too Good."
