A popular Lehigh-Lafayette Rivalry Week tradition for students involves posting banners in front of their on- or off-campus homes. Many banners were stolen, presumably by Lafayette students.
Below are some of the banners that can be seen around Lehigh’s campus during Rivalry Week. The Brown and White welcomes submissions of your own Lafayette signs through our Twitter.

Sad that AXP is no longer on campus. Happy to see that one of our former houses (Culinary House) is being put to good use.
Congrats to Lehigh Football on beating Laf. today. Beating Penn State Wrestling is next!
