Members of the Lafayette community are rallying for the Leopards at multiple events throughout Rivalry Week
The Lafayette-Lehigh football rivalry is the most-played collegiate football game in the U.S. This year marks the 160th occasion that the Lafayette Leopards will compete against “that other team.” Members of the campus community will have the opportunity to participate in many events leading up to the game on Nov. 23. After all, a leopard is more fierce than a mountain hawk and who doesn’t like the color maroon?
