SOME 350 STUDENTS EXPECTED TO
ATTEND GET REC'D ON FRIDAY
Some 350 Gannon students are expected to attend the university’s
annual alternative St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
The event, Get Rec’d, will
run from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday, March 17 at Gannon’s Carneval Athletic
Pavilion. It will feature prizes, including an iPod nano, as well as food,
games, and music. Get Rec’d is designed to provide for Gannon University
students a fun, alcohol-free environment on what is traditionally a night
of drinking for college students.
The games will include
basketball, contests, arts and crafts, trivia, and bingo. One lucky
student will get first choice in the university’s housing lottery. Three
other students will get preferential registration for fall semester
courses.
Immediately following the
formal event at the Carneval Athletic Pavilion, Alpha Phi Omega will
sponsor a “green pancake” breakfast in the university’s Student Services
Building. The breakfast will run until approximately 1:30 a.m.
Get Rec’d is
organized and sponsored by KnightLife, the student group affiliated with
BACCHUS, a national organization of college students that encourages
responsible decision making among students.
