“Founded in 1848, Muhlenberg College is a top-tier liberal arts college located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the state’s third-largest city and home to one of the best park systems in the United States. Its 82-acre main campus includes residential, study, and laboratory spaces, and significant architectural works such as Egner Memorial Chapel, Baker Center for the Arts, and the Trexler Pavilion. Niche and The Princeton Review have ranked Muhlenberg’s campus food as some of the best in the nation. Approximately 200 students and 50 staff are expected to attend each session.”<br />

After the CTY Easton site at Lafayette College closed due to unknown reasons, Muhlenburg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, was created as a "replacement" site. Unfortunately CTY Muhlenburg has been ultimately unsuccessful in living up to its former site, Easton. Many first years came to Muhlenburg College because it is a new site and many returners had low expectations, making Muhlenburg lacking in traditions ( at the first dance of 19.1 only around 8 CTYers new what to do during American Pie). Rules here are much stricter than other sites due to the abundance of twelve year olds, with RAs having to escort students to go to the bathroom. Many of the activities were also disappointing, with the first dance of 19.1 ultimately failing after the SRAs took over the dance committee and only played clean slow music. Field day was a disappointment due to lack of participation and rain. Although the dorms were big and had good air conditioning, there is only one common room for the fives halls on every floor, including the annex, and one microwave in the entire building. Overall Allentown isn't one of the best CTY sites, however it does have its perks. Girls and boys are grouped in the same building along with the SRAs and health office because the campus and enrollment is so small. The bathrooms are spacious and the showers have great water pressure. CTY Allentown is a great option for younger students, and they will not be overwhelmed with traditions or responsibility if they decide to go here. <br />

<div>==2019.1==<br />
===Total Loss of Tradition and American Pie===<br />
As Allentown is a new site, the obliteration of traditions such as Spirit Week and American Pie was expected. It was still upsetting. During the first dance, only a handful of returners knew what to do during American Pie, leaving everyone else very confused and a little freaked out. A presentation was made by the Blammo Gods during the second dance explaining the canon and what to do during American Pie, resulting in slightly less confusion, but the campers still rushed into the center at the wrong times and left the center after each chorus. The RAs religiously shouted back “NO ORGIES” after the chant each time.<br />
<br />
===Failed Canon===<br />
In an attempt to make a new tradition, the Macarena was done on stage for all of this unfortunately long song. It has ultimately been removed from Allentown Canon<br />
<br />
===Water Wars===<br />
On the first Saturday afternoon, we had water wars. Members of RA Gianni’s hall discovered the spiggot that was being used to refill the buckets, and consequently RA Terra had tons of water dumped on her. The event unfortunately got rained out after about 45 minutes, but RAs did indeed get wet and Blammo was introduced at large!<br />
<br />
===Family Feud===<br />
James Charles is called a witch.<br />
<br />
===The Unfortunate Airdrop===<br />
Someone airdropped an inappropriate photo of an RA during lunch in a disgusting violation of their comfort. This led to SRA's coming to hall meetings, and later, more restrictions on phone usage.<br />
<br />
===Technical Issues===<br />
During the second dance, speakers weren’t working for much of the time, causing the dance floor to be empty and the dance to be boring. When the Blammo gods were making announcements in that room, the projector and microphones cut out many times. <br />
<br />
===The Fourth of July===<br />
We went to a field nearby the dorms and were generally a disruption to society. There was an ice cream truck and a Star Spangled Banner singalong.<br />
<br />
===Color Wars===<br />
Bring Sally Up made a comeback, and returner Dasean Liles won the push-up competition for the orange team. There was also an RA themed Kahoot as an event - despite 4 out of 5 teams having one of the Blammo gods, the only team that didn’t have one won said Kahoot. Blue Team (made of Derren and Terra's halls) ultimately won! The prize was s'mores, and this writer can confirm they tasted good...<br />
<br />
===Instagram Scavenger Hunt===<br />
This would have been on the last Thursday before the dance, but was ultimately cancelled due to rain. Luckily, the rain lightened for the dance later.<br />
<br />
===Forever Young===<br />
RA Keith accidentally played Forever Young by BLACKPINK instead of our Forever Young.<br />
<br />
===I Want it That Way===<br />
A song sung constantly by Olivia and Abe’s halls. TELL ME WHY-<br />
<br />
===Countoffs===<br />
Countoffs were used more often in this new location. Each RA assigned their students numbers to read out in order when attendance needed to be taken. While some halls executed it better than others, it was overall efficient in doing its job. Oftentimes, SRA Sean would even use countoffs to determine which halls would be dismissed for dinner first. <br />
<br />
===Yoga===<br />
Also know as the worst kept secret in Allentown history- all yoga activities were just napping. Bring a blanket!<br />
<br />
===Blammo===<br />
Blammo Gods were Alex Weng, Ethan Lubin, Edie Worrell, and Jessica Chen. The game started on the second Thursday. In order to get people out faster, every day of the last week had a new rule implemented, such as no hands, above the head, and eventually a free-for-all! In the end, however, over 30 people were still in and over half of them still didn’t get any kills.<br />
Faith Chukwudinma from Abe’s hall won with 6 kills. She got a handmade spoon crown with notes from the gods, sash, and a bag of cereal marshmallows.<br />
<br />
===Passionfruit===<br />
There were a low number of nevermore/nomores who wanted to make a speech so speeches were extended to returners as well. In the end, we shared our favorite CTY memories in a wonderful community bonding moment.<br />
<br />
===Ordering Food===<br />
We were allowed to order food after the dances! A blessing!</div>ThisGuyMissesCTYhttps://www.realcty.org/index.php?title=Memories:ATN&diff=50717Memories:ATN2019-07-17T17:39:03Z<p>ThisGuyMissesCTY: /* Highway to Heaven */</p>
