It's not even Thanksgiving yet and Christmas has arrived in Happy Valley, much to the dismay of many. Does the early arrival of the holiday season turn you into a Grinch? Fear not, for you're not alone!
I can’t imagine going through all this nonsense as a freshman, and I suppose this plea is mainly for them. I can promise you this; if you’ve only been on campus for less than three months, this is not the Penn State that I fell in love with.

Don’t give up just yet.

Currently, a few people associated with the product have tried to bring it down.
Penn State Club Croquet is a club shrouded in mystery. We’ve all seen them on campus, in their light blue pinnies, or at football games in their cutoff jean shorts and faux mustaches. Many of us have even come across the infamous “Croq house” also known as the “Bro-quet house.” These dedicated members have created quite a stir on campus, priding themselves in going over the top in everything they do; the sillier, the better.
