'Wet 'n' Wildcat House Party'
Students kicked off the first weekend of Pennsylvania College of Technology's Fall 2011 semester with a Wet 'n' Wildcat House Party, thanks to a variety of campus organizations on the Field House lawn Thursday. The Wildcat Events Board, Off-Campus Housing Organization, Student Government Association, Residence Hall Association and Greek Life combined to offer a night of free food, music, waterslides, T-shirts and more. The evening concluded with college-sponsored fireworks, rescheduled from Welcome Weekend due to rain.

Refreshing, huh?
