Reminder: Blue-White Game on April 13

Now that Spring is officially upon us, remember to save the date to join your Skull House brothers at Penn State’s Blue-White game on Saturday, April 13. Kickoff this year is at 2PM ET.

The Spring game serves as a great opportunity to hang out with your old Skulls buddies and forge new traditions over a weekend of tailgating, reminiscing, and brotherhood.

If you haven’t done so already, plan to reconnect with your brothers during Blue-White weekend. You’ll be glad that you did.

Planning a meetup or tailgate that weekend? Let us know by commenting below! Looking for brothers you lost touch with? Log in and check out our alumni directory!

Update from undergrad alumni relations chair

Hello to all of the alumni of Skull House.

Thank you all for your continuous support of Skull House. My name is John French (Class of 2026), and I will be serving as the Alumni Relations chair for the Spring 2024 semester. If you have any questions/comments, I encourage you to reach out to me through [email protected] or (703) 362-5912. I look forward to meeting you all!

The undergrads have been making a significant impact on both the local community in State College and beyond. On Martin Luther King Jr. day, we had several of our brothers attend the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service held at Penn State. At this event, we participated in several different service activities to help various local organizations, including assembling care packages and writing letters to soldiers, creating posters to be used in the March of Peace for Dr. MLK Jr., packaging meals to be distributed to people in hunger internationally, and much more. Additionally, we collected and donated a total of 40 full trash bags of clothes to the Salvation Army, a nonprofit organization that accepts and distributes donations to people in need throughout State College and beyond. This was a great start to the semester, and we are excited to make even more of an impact on our community through more philanthropy this semester.


Thank you, Brothers
