2010-2011 Events
BeWARE the Goat
Ware in the World continued one of our most prized traditions in 2011, beWARE the Goat. We brought Bethany, a goat from a local farm, to campus for a Closer Look to raise money for Heifer International. The event was a huge hit, as Warians, faculty, alums, and other prospective students got their pictures taken and played with Bethany. By the end of the day, Ware in the World raised over $250 for charity! To see more photos from the event, check out the album on facebook.
Ware in the World HA Pie Eating Contest
This March, our community service group, Ware in the World organized the Ware Pie Eating Contest in the Ware Great Room to help raise funds for the Lancaster Refugee Winter Coat Drive and support relief efforts in Japan. Warians ate pie, socialized, and were entertained by our very own HAs stuffing themselves as fast as they can! There was a representative from each hall participating in the contest, and they each had a donation jar to collect as much money as possible to support the Coat Drive for Lancaster Refugees and the Japanese relief efforts. After a hard fought competition, HA Alex Yfraimov finished his pie first and was crowned the Ware Pie-Eating Champion! Check out footage from the extravaganza here.
Ware's Meet & Greet With President Porterfield
Ware had the opportunity to meet F&M's new President, Dr. Dan Porterfield in March 2011. Warians of all classes filled the Great Room, as we welcomed President Porterfield with a nice Q&A session followed by a reception.

Ice Skating at Clipper Magazine Stadium
Ware joined up with the other Houses and made a trip to the Ice Park at Clipper Magazine Stadium. We all met up and walked over to the stadium together for a little night skating.

We had a great turnout and each Warian to gave a donation of to Ware in the World, with proceeds going to purchasing supplies in order to help provide local refugee families with a balanced meal.

Ware Winter Bash
Warians warmed up from the cold winter weather with apple cider, ornament making, and graham cracker house constructing in the Great Room at the Ware Winter Bash. Prof. Eigen joined us for a wonderful evening of winter-themed events before the holiday break.

Ware Color Wars and Banners Competition
From day one Warians began to exercise their competitive spirit in the annual House color wars competition. Each hall teamed up and competed in events such as tug of war, musical chairs and pictionary. They also had the opportunity to express their creative side in our first ever "Banners" competition. Each crew from all four houses made their own banner, and brought them to the ASFC to show off. The winners of each House were selected and a F&M Champion was named. It was incredibly exciting to see everyone getting fired up representing their Houses, in what became a great first time event! For more photos of color wars and banners, click here.

Ware welcomed the class of 2014 in style with our annual formal dinner in the Atrium. This year's theme was "A Hollywood Premier," as our "celebrities" filed in on the red carpet, HAs snapped paparazzi-style photographs.

HA Orientation and Move-In Day
