Grilled stickies are still there, but no more Phi Psi. After the University pressured them into doing it without the drinking, it dies a quick death. Same thing happened to the Regatta - no beer followed by no interest. Gentle Thursday lives on though...

That is a tragedy. When I ran in the Phi Psi, it was the event of the year. There is something about being in a town occupied by 50,000 people with the lowest BAL of the bunch being about a .20.

When I ran it with the Nittany Divers (costumed as Bearded Clams), we started at 10:15 AM and finished the grueling 1 1/2 mile course about 4:30 PM. But it wasn't the drinking, it was the costumes. The first time I saw Phi Psi, I sat there laughing non-stop for nine hours. That day stands as the most fun I have ever had. What a shame the event was judged un-PC.
