Canning Weekend #3 Cancelled

tremblaym09 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:01:34 +0000

In an email sent to all THON volunteers last night, the THON Overall Committee explained that canning weekend #3 would be cancelled due to the threat of inclement weather in the northeast. The email explained that it was a tough decision, but after consulting with professional meteorologists, the Committee decided that it was in the best interest of the volunteers to avoid many areas that receive heavy traffic from canning.

Kick Off the Fall Tailgate Recap

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:20:32 +0000

The Penn State Interfraternity Council held a Kick Off the Fall Tailgate Saturday, Aug. 27 with the Penn State Panhellenic Council and Penn State PRIDE, a club that promotes fan sportsmanship.

About 250 freshmen, student athletes and Greek student leaders attended the event, in which the IFC, PHC and PRIDE set up booths to promote Penn State school spirit.

Taken from the Penn State’s student newspaper, The Daily Collegian:

The Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council hosted the first ever Kick Off the Fall Tailgate outside the Business Building on Saturday to promote sportsmanship and get new students involved in Penn State.

Together with the PRIDE Penn State Sportsmanship Team and the Student-Athlete Advisory Board, the organizations wanted to “take an opportunity to engage freshmen,” said IFC Vice President for Finance John Hanson, who spearheaded the event.

“We’re hoping for better awareness of what it means to have Penn State pride,” Hanson (graduate-business administration) said.

And check out a post from Penn State’s student blog, OnwardState:

The IFC and PHC also made a $1,500 donation to Penn State PRIDE at the event. According to IFC President Dan Florencio (@dvflorencio), sportsmanship is a value he hopes to see incorporated into his own organization’s efforts over the remainder of his term. The funds will go towards supporting a variety of PRIDE initiatives, including a ‘Roll Out the Crimson Carpet’ week of activities leading up to the Alabama game.

The Penn State IFC is one of the country’s largest Greek Communities and is rooted in scholarship, philanthropy and friendship. Follow the IFC on Twitter at twitter.com/PennStateIFC.

The Penn State Interfraternity Council is proud to co-sponsor and host the Kick Off the Fall Tailgate at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27 on the Business Building Lawn. It’s the perfect way for Penn State freshmen sports fans attending Saturday’s Penn State Women’s Volleyball game or Penn State Men’s Soccer game to start their evening.

Part of the largest Greek Community in the country, the IFC will join student athletes and student leaders to put on this event for freshmen that will include free food, entertainment and prizes to get freshmen ready for the big games Saturday night.

This event is right before two Penn State sporting events. Saturday night, the Women’s Volleyball team will take on the University of Southern California at 8 p.m. in Rec Hall. The Men’s Soccer team will battle Siena at 7 p.m. at the soccer field.

The IFC is committed to fostering school spirit, philanthropy and student involvement. Students interested in joining a Fraternity should visit www.PennStateIFC.org.

The IFC would like to thank the Penn State Panhellenic Council, sportsmanship group Penn State PRIDE and the Penn State Student Athlete Advisory Board to partner for their help with this event.
