Freshmen in fraternities generally don’t get to experience much of a free year. Pledging usually takes up more than a half of a semester, either in the fall or the spring. With pledging generally comes obligations to show that you truly want to be a part of the brotherhood that is a fraternity. THON weekend brings one such opportunity to bond with the rest of the fraternity before actually becoming a member of the brotherhood.
For former dancers, returning to the THON provides a slew of nostalgia and pride.
The third band to perform on the Four Diamonds stage during THON 2014 was Digital Getdown--no, not the 'N SYNC song, but the self-proclaimed, "not your quintessential cover band" hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

THON can get loud. When the crowd is at capacity and the clocking is counting down (and especially when Go Go Gadjet gets the dancers rocking), the noise can be almost deafening in the best way. But how truly loud does the Bryce Jordan Center get during THON weekend?
Perhaps the only true relief THON dancers collect from standing for 46 straight hours comes when nature calls.
