Lehigh University Rally
Saturday, August 24, 2024 at 8:00 p.m.
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.
Welcome the newest members of our Lehigh family!
Celebrate Lehigh through spirited events like student performances, the alumni class adoption, and the colorful parade of classes, where alumni representatives wield their class flags and first-year students reveal the flag for their class.
Please note: This year’s Rally will be on Saturday, August 24, at 8:00 p.m., in The Grove (North side of the Alumni Memorial Building). It will be held, rain or shine, so please dress accordingly.
For questions, please contact Amy Frantz Gross, alumni relations, at (610) 758-3686, or the Office of University Events at (610) 758-2746.
