Lunch and Play Fair
Play fair is the most popular campus attraction in history for New Student Orientation. With more than 375 on-campus performances every year, it’s entertaining, fun and educational. Students bond through fun interactive games and sharing experiences. There is no competition, which means the group “swims together or sinks together,” and most importantly laughs together. It's the perfect way to make new campus friendships. Play fair is more than just an entertainment event — it is a team-building experience that has a long-lasting effect on the members of our ASU community.
