THON is a verb, adjective, and pronoun, but it’s harder to explain than almost anything else unless you physically experience it. Since it’s so hard to explain what THON truly is when you’re not inside of the Bryce Jordan Center, we had an aha moment. Our very own THON SnapChat Story.

That’s right, we now have a Snapchat account.

So friend us at “OnwardState” and send us your coolest snaps all throughout THON Weekend. Unfortunately, screenshotting won’t allow us to post your videos, so we can only compile your photos of the weekend. We will have posts featuring the best Snapchats we receive throughout the weekend and guess what? You may even be featured on our social media platforms! Plus, you have a much better chance to get on Onward State than the Campus Story.

This is not a mutually exlusive relationship. We will also be sending out snaps to our story all weekend for you all to enjoy the intricacies of THON throughout the weekend. From the Line Dance to the Final Reveal, we will keep you up to date. Whether you’re a dancer, committee member, or spectator, we don’t care where the snaps are going or where they’re coming from, we just want to see how you THON.
