3rd Annual International Food Bazaar 10/8

Bring an exotic dish from your home country or a traditional dish from your heritage to share at this "pot luck" event hosted by FERS. Beverages will be provided.

Please RSVP to let us know if you are coming and what dish you will be bringing so that we can plan accordingly to accommodate everyone.

The Food Bazaar will be held Wednesday, October 8th in the Catacombs, and will now start at 7pm.

Obstacle Course POSTPONED!!

Due to a conflict with the career fair this Thursday, the initiation obstacle course will be postponed until next Thursday, Sept. 25. Still plan on meeting on the main floor of Fritz Lab at 5:30 (directly following Dr. Wilson's class).

New Member Initiation

On Thursday Sept 18th, the new members will be required to participate in an Obstacle Course in Fritz Lab as part of the intiation process. If you cannot make the obstacle course and want to be a part of FERS it is important that you contact me (Nicole: njl205@Lehigh.edu) and let me know. The obstacle course will start at 5:30pm on the main floor of Fritz. Hope to see you all then!
