Porter Hall is home to approximately 250 residents and is a popular choice for both freshmen and upperclassmen. Each year, Porter Hall sponsors an annual social event called “A Night in Vegas,” which is open to the entire campus community to attend. Participants donate money in return for “Vegas money” which they can use for games like blackjack, roulette, and Texas Hold’em. At the end of the evening, residents can participate in an auction where they can use their “Vegas money” to bid on prizes. The money that’s donated is given to a local charity that is selected by the hall.
