Events for all Green Terrors

(Rain date: Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025.)

The McDaniel College community will come together for the second annual “Out of Darkness: A Celebration of Light” on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025.

Out of Darkness will be a special evening filled with light, education, food, and the sharing of religious and cultural traditions. The event features winter-themed indoor and outdoor activities on campus, including firepit and s'mores stations, a Western Maryland train ride through McDaniel's history, an indoor snowball fight, and a Religious and Cultural Festival hosted by the Office of Student Belonging. 

As part of this event, alumni are invited to:

• Attend with up to three guests for an evening of reflection and connection.
• Volunteer for a 90-minute shift to distribute treats, facilitate holiday crafts, or help students create luminaries inspired by our motto, E Tenebris in Lucem Voco — “I call you out of darkness into light.”
• Enjoy cultural performances, warm winter-themed refreshments, and sparkling campus lights that symbolize unity and hope.

Space is limited, so be sure to register by Nov. 25. 

Join alumni of the WMC/McDaniel Phi Delts at Covalent Spirits on East Main Street in Westminster the first Thursday of each month. Brothers from all chapters are of course welcome too! For more information please visit the Phi Delta Theta website. 

First Thursdays with the Phis gathers Phi Delts across the country on the first Thursday evening of each month in cities across North America to rekindle friendships, meet new people, and to network professionally.
