The Quad Cup, Spring '25

The Quad Cup is back, and the stakes have never been higher! This is your chance to showcase your Quad pride, outshine the competition, and claim ultimate bragging rights. The energy is electric, and your Quad needs YOU to help secure victory. With one semester behind us, here are the current standings.
