Hope College's upperclassmen hosted the school's third annual Root Beer Kegger this past Friday, September 4. Festivities included root beer pong, root beer keg stands, corn hole, and an enormous dance party.

Students danced the night away on the front lawn of Pillar Church while singing to popular songs that the student hosts DJed. Espresso shots were provided for extra energy for all the dancing.

"I love the dancing and how you can left off steam after the first week of classes," Vic Lindemulder (18) said.

Hope students' Snapchat stories were flooded with pictures and videos of friends enjoying the night. Multiple freshmen commented saying that they could not believe that such a large and loud party was hosted by a church. (Thanks, Pillar, you're awesome!)

Last year's Kegger included Hope Students participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Water was sprayed from a Holland Fire Department hose onto an enormous group of eager students. The event was recorded on film, and in the video, Hope nominated rival school Calvin College for the Ice Bucket Challenge. You can view the video here:

This year's Root Beer Kegger lasted from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Special thanks from all the Hope College students to Pillar Church for graciously letting us use your lawn and facilities. Pillar Church is located on the corner of 9th and College street.
