So ... I know I've been on a THON rant recently but it's now over so I thought I'd announce that we raised 7.49 million dollars for the kids!!! And I thought you'd find the words to our line dance entertaining and can now post them. Basically, the line dance keeps our dancers going and moving and is played every hour.

2-8 – In heroes we believe, D-A-N-C-I-N-G
3-8 – Throw those diamonds to the sky, Go THON, Beat cancer

Men and women win them all

End the drought since '83

2-8 – Buh bye Packers, hello Jets!
3-8 – Michael Phelps wins 8 gold
Can't beat China's 12 year olds
4-8 – Stock market takes a dive
That's okay, footlongs for 5
5-8 – Smart phones are the craze
Say goodbye to flip phone days.
6-8 – Speaking of technology

Surprise! It's from pizza hut!

"She's just bein Miley."

    lol. THON is a 46 hour dance marathon that PSU does every year to raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund and pediatric cancer research. Basically the dancers can't sit or sleep for 46 hours. It's held at the BJC.

    That's amazing!! Who did you dance for? I was on the OPP committee and it was SO much fun. I wasn't at THON much last year as a freshman so I really wanted to be involved this year and I got to be on the floor for about 10 hours. I knew a bunch of dancers, too which also made a huge difference. The Jonas Brothers made a video for our dancers! That was pretty cool. I wasn't a fan of them before but I might have to become one now. It's so nice at the BJC ... we fill it up!! All the stands were completely packed for the last four hours. I have to say my favorite part was during the last four hours when they did all the line dances since 2004. It was so cool to see.

    I danced for Society of Women Engineers(nerd alert!) + Sig Nu... haha I was not really all that involved in SWE but being as i was not a sorority girl, but still wanted to get involved/dance, it was a good opportunity. i think my year was the last one at Rec Hall, and it was PACKED- in the stands, on the floor, in the bathrooms... ugh! there was some controversy over the BJC move, but i'll bet it's a lot better there. Anyways, thanks fo the THON update it's good to see a psu face on here.. I'm "far from home" living in Texas now, so nice to know someone on here can relate to the "Freshman 15" which is so easily packed on @ PSU (Diner Stickies, Canyon Pizza, Cafe 210 loaded fries... the list goes on and on!!) - i think the only way i didn't gain more was walking to class every day, haha. so keep enjoying psu- trust me when i say it's the time of your life!!!
