The 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.

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. Browse a photo gallery from The Rally 2023.

Send a note to AlumniRelations@lehigh.edu if you’d like to take two minutes to participate in a welcome video to our new classes.

Orientation Recap
The days are filled with excitement and activities as Lehigh University first-year students attend orientation events.

Accepting the Flag
Every year, incoming undergraduate students are selected to accept their class flag from the adoptive class. Their flag is then hung in the Alumni Memorial Building with a number of other class flags.
