If you were in State College yesterday afternoon, you probably noticed thousands of folks running around campus or trudging around downtown drenched in paint or sporting colorful T-shirts. What you witnessed was the aftermath of The Color Run at Penn State, an event organized by Homecoming for the first time in State College.
I hadn't the faintest idea what awaited me when I climbed aboard the establishment's complimentary shuttle. A friendly bearded man named Bubba drove some clueless Onward Staters and a fraternity twenty minutes off campus, and this is what we overheard.
Recruitment would be nothing without the help of these extremely patient sorority women. Dealing with vulnerable freshmen is not easy, but these Pi Chis handled it with ease.
All in all, 926 individuals accepted bids into 18 sororities yesterday -- a record, according to PHC President Rachel Franceschino.
Bid Day is a big deal for Penn State sororities. It's when they officially announce their newest class of sisters. It's a day full of emotion, lifelong memories, and really loud chants. We sent three writers -- drunk, sober, and high, to check it out.
Onward State compiled a list of activities for you to do while your friends are away canning this weekend.
