It’s advertised to students visiting Penn State that if you yell “we are” on campus, someone will always respond. As juniors and seniors in high school, you couldn’t help but be a bit skeptical of the validity of that statement. We were also skeptical, so we decided to put that theory to the test.

We sent some of our staffers around campus to see if Penn State really has as much school pride as advertised. While some innocent bystanders were more eager to participate than others, it was still a thoroughly awkward experience for everyone involved. Luckily, we captured the best moments on camera and compiled them into this video.
