Tri-Rho Photobooth No plans but the Ganz

Friday was a night under the lights. Campus dressed to the nines to attend the Tri-Rho Extravaganza. The Rhos supplied the attendees with cheesecake bites, shrimp and the traditional “mocktails.” DJs Benj Eicher and Keith Meikrantz played all of the classics, like “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift, “Break Free” by Ariana Grande and “Wobble Baby” by V.I.C. Needless to say, the Ganza was a night to remember.
