Second Year Drinks tradition at Wharton
January 15, 2010 – 12:49 amWharton has a number of wonderful traditions. I will try to cover some of them here.
Wharton Second Year Drinks is an informal event for second-year MBA’s – it is another opportunity to meet friends and meet new people: the school’s size leaves an opportunity to meet someone new virtually every day.
The gathering takes place at various bars around town, usually in Center City, every Wednesday at 9 pm. There is a student run organizing committee (everything at Wharton is student run), and these wonderful people do a great job at securing a place for the SY Drinks and spreading the word around. It is a popular event.
On Thursday mornings, it is not unusual to read Facebook updates from my fellow classmates mentioning hangovers, plans to limit alcohol consumption, start working out more, etc. Comes Wednesday again, and everyone is at Second Year Drinks as usual
