Memories: Visit the Memories tab (and sub tabs) for a nostalgic look at Empty Kegs from 1968-1977; old housemate directories; McConn intramural & academic rankings; other McConn memories from our annual budget to the "rushing" impress sheet and a listing of (and ticket stubs for) amazing concert performances on the Lehigh campus.

McConn was special: From 1966 through 1979, McConn House established itself as the premier living group on campus.  We held some of the best parties and hosted some of the best mixers.  We competed both academically and athletically across the campus.  At various times, we won the President’s Cup for intramural sports and achieved the highest house cumulative average for the year. We were an alternative to the Greek letter fraternities and filled a unique living and community opportunity that is sadly no longer available. We were a special group. Some were recruited by existing house members, some were placed but all were welcomed.

When we think of our Lehigh connection, there were individual professors that made an impact, our field of study was important, the campus activities, concerts, lectures, and facilities were important, but for many of us, the living group experience was the most significant and spawned the closest relationships. Let's reconnect!

Over the past year many of us have been reconnecting with members of the classes that overlapped our personal time on campus, but also with members of the classes before and after our time.  There are 4 important take-aways from those discussions:

• Our Lehigh experience was enhanced by our McConn House mates.
• Some of the friendships formed at McConn have lasted over 50 years.
• Our reconnected friendships have proven that the same camaraderie is easily rekindled.
• It is great fun to learn about the different experiences we have had since those days when we trudged up South Mountain and rode back down on the cafeteria trays.
