=== Escher Olympics ===
The event itself was a smashing successin 2018, with great turnout and spirit. [[Bag End]] prevailed in the end, in a closely-fought contest.It is uncertain whether the Escher Olympics took place in 2019 or 2020 (please update this if you know), but it was not held in 2021, 2022, or 2023. Will you be the member who revives this storied tradition?
=== Comedy Night ===
=== Swimming, Kayaking, and Float Trips ===

The Huron river is a beautiful feature of life in Ann Arbor. In the warmer months, Escherites frequently make the trek to Argo Park, Bandemer Park, Gallup Park, and other scenic spots for swimming, kayaking, and floating down the river.
=== Bonfires ===

Escher has several bonfires on the mound each fall. These events typically begin around sundown and often continue until late in the night. S'mores are often involved, and members who like to sing or play guitar may lead campfire songs. If you would like to organize a bonfire, '''you must email the house at least 24 hours in advance''' to give members a chance to close their windows and avoid the smoke. It is also vital that someone takes responsibility for the fire and ultimately puts it out using the hose near the Bag End door.
=== EscherFest ===
EscherFest is typically thrown once per term. This musical event draws many central campus members and non-members as well, giving it the highest attendance of Escher's events. The Escher Band (often going by a far more entertaining name) traditionally performs here. Weather permitting, EscherFest takes place both in the [[Rec Room]] (where rock and jam acts perform) and on [[The Mound]] (where chill acoustic acts perform and there is often a bonfire).

=== Progressive Parties ===
A '''progressive party''' or simply "progressive" is a party that moves from place to place as the night goes on. A central campus progressive moves from co-op to co-op, while an Escher progressive progresses from suite to suite. These parties are great for getting to know other houses and suites.
=== Easter Egg Hunts ===

Pretty self-explanatory. Lots of great egg hiding spots in our house and on our grounds.
=== Haunted House ===
This one is a lot of work to put on, but the 2017 Escher haunted house turned our Rec Room into quite a spooky spot. Get a group together and put it on again!
=== Sledding ===
There is a hill nearby, right off Broadway, that is great for sledding.
