The annual Active vs Plactive football game took place on Wednesday May 4th at 4:30pm. Members spanning four pledge classes, from ATTW7, D9, DBD and SIN all got together for one of the most epic football games ever. SIN took on the senior 3 pledge classes and came out victorious in a score of 11-7. Both teams played a good game and the Plactive members are looking forward to playing for the Active team next year.

This past weekend, from April 15th to the 17th, the Penns and their sister society, the Thalians retreated to Lake Havasu for a Brother-Sister Retreat. During this time, the two societies were able to bond and become closer, especially with a large turnout of both new pledge classes. Both societies enjoyed themselves and the company of each other, and hope to make this an annual event.
On Saturday April 9th the “Penn House Bunnies” Pennette Pledge class finished its week-long pledging program. During the week, the girls learned all about the Penns and some of their traditions. Be on the lookout for an updated list of Pennettes coming soon!
Penn actives Stephen Fernandez, Jordan Vega, and Brandon Rista were all honored for their track achievements this past weekend at the Pomona-Pitzer track invitational.
The men got off to a strong start as Stephen Fernandez ignited the Poets as he took first place in his heat in the shot put throwing a personal best 40’5″.
But not to be overlooked was the run of Brandon Rista who in the next heat ran one of his better races of the season with a time of 4:29.86.
But the distance was where it was at for the Poets as Kevin Mancilla led a group of runners in the 1500 with a time of 4:16.44 quickly followed by fellow team members Jordan Vega, Marco Leone, and Jacob Arango.

A Group of Penns by their booth during the Spring Activities Fair
The scene in the upper quad on Sunday, April 10, may have seemed very disorganized. However, the students and staff knew exactly what was going on at the annual Admitted Students Activities Fair. This was a day for prospective students to get to know all about the clubs and societies on the Whittier College campus. The Penns made sure to wear their new shirts and set up a booth of their own too! The booth generated a lot of interest as parents and students stopped by to find out all about the society.
