What is "Penguin Pre-Party"?
Penguin Pre-Party was founded in Fall '07 to give students an opportunity to have something fun to do on campus Thursday evenings. Every Penguin Pre-Party features free entertainment, free food, prizes, and much more!
Please remember to bring your YSU ID, as it is required for entry. All Penguin Pre-Party events take place 7-10pm in Peaberry's, unless otherwise noted.
