Tradition is a great part of college life and it is present at Abington.

New Student Day
Prior to first day of classes, incoming students are welcomed by Penn State Abington Orientation Leaders onto campus with a day full of events:

  • national speaker
  • college meetings;
  • carnival-style activities
  • involvement fair.

Fall Fest
About halfway through the semester, the Lares Entertainment And Programming Board (LEAP) works with other campus clubs to put on a week's worth of events. The week often falls around Halloween and has included a Murder Mystery Dinner, costume contests, and a psychic fair. Contact LEAP!

Club Showcase
In January the clubs come together to recruit new members and show off what they've accomplished.

Spring Formal
Our annual formal is an opportunity for our students to get dressed up and dance the night away off campus. Past formals have been held on the Spirit of Philadelphia and at the Philadelphia Wyndham. Serve on the Formal Committee!

Spring Fling
As the weather turns warm, the students at Abington celebrate with a great outdoor event. Count on lunch, t-shirts, and carnival type games when you go to Spring Fling.
