Lehigh University Rally

The Rally is a long-standing tradition at Lehigh University. Every year since 1945, the incoming class is adopted by the class that was introduced to Lehigh 50 years prior.

A Lehigh University student triumphantly waves a maroon and white class flag on a stage at night, with a large, lit-up "LEHIGH" sign in the background. An alumnus stands to the side, clapping enthusiastically.

Welcome to Lehigh, Class of 2029!

The campus community celebrated The Rally through spirited student performances, the alumni class adoption with the Class of 1979, and the colorful parade of classes, where alumni carried their class flags and the Class of 2029 revealed their flag. Watch a recording of the event
