OL Weekend Welcome Party

Old Loads Weekend Welcome Party 🍻

Kick off Old Loads Weekend the right way—with great people, great stories, and even better drinks.

Join us for the OL Weekend Welcome Party, where alumni and current SIU Rugby players come together to reconnect, celebrate, and set the tone for an unforgettable weekend.

For $20 per ticket, you’ll get:

• 🍺 3 drink tickets

• 🍗 Your choice of a plate of 8 wings or spring rolls

• 🤝 Exclusive access to mingle with current SIU Rugby players

This is also your chance to connect in person if you’re participating in the Adopt-a-Rugger Auction—meet your rugger, hear their story, and see firsthand the impact you’re making on the program.

🎭 Theme: Exotic Drinking Vessels

Leave the solo cup at home. This year, we’re turning things up a notch—bring your most creative, outrageous, or downright exotic drinking vessel. Whether it’s a tiki mug, a boot, a helmet, or something we haven’t even thought of yet… the more ridiculous, the better.

Come for the drinks, stay for the camaraderie, and start Old Loads Weekend with the kind of energy only SIU Rugby can bring.
