Most students remember THON by keeping dancer mail or compiling photo albums. For Adam Krempasky, though, he wanted something to remember forever. The only answer was a Four Diamonds tattoo.
It's Sunday at 6:00 a.m.; not a typical time for college students to be up and about
Although the morning of THON Day 3 poses a completely different scenario.
Penn State students single-filed in front of the BJC seem to be in for a two and a half hour wait at least, just to get into THON 2013.
Most students enjoy their first THON as a freshman, or maybe as the younger sibling of a dancer a few years prior. For one Penn Stater, though, it began before she could walk.
Unfortunately, one of the dominant story-lines of this year's THON has been the pervasive problem of lines to get into the BJC. This morning was no different, with problems surfacing as early as 3am. Given that the Jordan Center closed its doors around 7am last year, many orgs were not expecting to have to vie for seats in the stands so early on THON Sunday. We spoke with chairs in Special Interest Orgs Springfield, Atlas, Apollo, and Ohana about the line-related issues during this year's THON.
When I was a freshman at Penn State, I knew close to nothing about THON. I knew it was a big deal at Penn State, raised a ton of money to fight pediatric cancer, and that's where it started and ended.
However, while I couldn't (and still can't) keep up in conversation with THON activists, decipher how to pronounce the names of the frats and sorority orgs, or tell you the difference between all of the different committees, I knew and admired one specific group: Atlas FTK.
Late at night on the concourse of the BJC is pretty interesting. The Natty Nittany decided to take a look and see what sorts of outfits were out on parade.

The event was done virtually this year due to the coronavirus, however many teams still participated in the event remotely.
From tacos to pizza to egg rolls, State College has it all when it comes to late-night drunk food.
