Team Strategy Dinner:

Location: SFU Burnaby, Club Ilia

As you lick your wounds from the field of battle, know that it was but a small rehearsal in a larger campaign. As you sit amongst your brethren, fill your stomach with food so that it may prepare you for the events that lay ahead of you. Discuss strategy and seek wisdom from your leaders. Above all, prepare yourself for a long night of hunting, cheering and celebration as you will match wits with yourself, your peers and most dastardly of all: the filthy engineers.

Midnight Madness:

Learn the joy of all-nighters with all of the fun and none of the work! First, help us to once again crush the Engineers in our Frosh Slurpee drink-off, dodgeball game, and tug-of-war. We'll then proceed to keep you up all night with an adrenaline filled race around campus containing copious quantities of games (both video and non), more random prize opportunities and other such mischief. Make sure to tell your parents not to wait up. You'll be... studying... This event goes all night so prepare to be at SFU till the early hours of the morning on Saturday. Prizes will be given out in the middle of the night for the points you earned during the week, so make sure to stay in order to guarantee yourself something nice.
