TRACS Schedule: TRACS will be on the standard Thursday-Saturday schedule. Two regular vans will also be running on lower campus and dropping students at the gate of the hill so the Sayre Park van will take you up the hill. Additional vans will be running from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM on both Friday and Saturday nights.



Please also use the following advice (Courtesy of Lehigh’s Panhellenic Council):



1.      Plan your route: know how you are getting to the stadium and back home ahead of time.

2.      Stay with friends, do not find yourself alone.

3.      Dress warmly! Wear layers- it’s going to be cold (gloves, hat, ASA scarf!).

4.      BE SMART: especially regarding public intoxication and Fake Identifications. You do not want to   get arrested.

5.      Hydrate! Eat! Bring extra water and snacks.

6.      In case you do not hydrate enough, bring Advil with you!

7.      Make sure your phone is fully charged and bring an extra charger.

8.      In case your phone does die, write down important phone numbers.

9.      Bring cash with you!
