Freshman Pep Rally Scheduled for Aug. 27
Incoming students can prepare for the first football game of the season by learning all the University of Arkansas traditions at the Freshman Pep Rally on Wednesday, Aug. 27, at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The pep rally begins at 9 p.m. with gates opening at 8 p.m. All incoming students are invited and encouraged to attend.
Recognized as the “Best Campus Tradition” for 2013-14 by the National Association of Campus Activities, the Freshman Pep Rally gives freshmen the chance to learn all the U of A traditions: the Fight Song, the cheers, and most importantly how to call the Hogs. The pep rally ends with the freshman class walking onto the football field to have their picture taken in the shape of a giant “A.”
