ST. PAT'S DAY
EVENT, GET REC'D, COULD DRAW MORE THAN 350 STUDENTS
Organizers are expecting more than 350 students to attend Get Rec’d,
Gannon University’s annual alternative St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
The free event is designed
to offer students a fun, alcohol-free environment on St. Patrick’s Day,
which historically has been associated with parties and other events where
drinking is prevalent.
During Get Rec’d, students
will be able to play games, including bingo, Texas Hold ‘Em, and
basketball. Refreshments and music will be provided. The university’s
radio station, WERG, Energy FM-90, will broadcast live from the Carneval
Athletic Pavilion.
Numerous prizes for students
will be raffled off, including an Apple iPod, clothing, gift certificates,
and Erie Otters’ tickets. One lucky student also will be awarded the first
position in the university’s housing lottery, allowing them to have their
first choice of on-campus housing.
Following Get Rec’d,
students can attend a green pancake breakfast from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. in
the Student Service Center, 111 West Fifth Street.
Among the Gannon
organizations either participating in or sponsoring the event are the
Student Government Association, Activities Programming Board, KnightLife,
and PROMISE.
