The [[Escher Olympics]] is a day of friendly rivalry between suites. Members competed in several events, as listed [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rVnXLqyjhUaPbPGiCyo5C9CzYBebl5iq53yG7A7hHa4/edit?usp=sharing here]. Kevin Dunn and Courtney Ignace promoted the event creatively through a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ2EswcW8BM video] and [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rndHykauwTHMW7ycOuoEFDeyWwfSF-mQ_y5vMANEC1k/edit?usp=sharing suite anthems].

The event itself was a smashing success in 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?

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.
=== 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).

There is a hill nearby, right off Broadway, that is great for sledding.
