Honors “Bean There” Chili Week Scavenger Hunt: The hunt begins…each day, two clues to help on your quest to find the magic cans of beans hidden around campus. Bring found cans to the Honors Chili Raffle on Friday in the Murphy Center Foyer to claim your prize. Found a can? Post a selfie to #viterbohonors on Instagram.
Location 1:
There once was a bean, mighty and green,
Who tried to leave the Pod.
Lest he be seen, he hid ‘mung the machines
Avoiding where feet have trod
So the bean hunt begins, with chilis to win,
To the champions all honor and laud
Location 2:
From the Pod, like a flash, did our lil’ bean dash
‘cross the campus all covered in snow
Caught a cold on the way
Nearly frost bit, they say
Nursed back to health by a flame all aglow
Fast asleep he did stay, refried til Tuesday,
Stay tuned to see next where he’ll go...
