Society Week: Dollar Wars

TNH 2.100 (Susman Godfrey Atrium)

Society Week continues in the Atrium as we raise money for Texas Law Fellowships - and engage in some friendly society competition! Last year the Society Program raised over $4000 for TLF, enough to fund an entire fellowship. Let's continue that tradition this year!

Dollar Wars will count $1 bills as positive points, and all other higher denominations as negative points. So save your Washingtons for your favorite society, and all other denominations for your rival societies.

The society with the most positive (or least negative) points will win the day!
