Visit to the Helsinki Committee

It’s that time again. Red cups, chaotic energy, and enough beer to sink a small boat. 

Welcome to the Frat Borrel!

We're taking over Sociëteit De Krater for a night of pure decadence. Beerpong, questionable choices, and the kind of music that makes you yell “this is my song!” every five minutes (no DJ, it's all you, buy a drink and request a song!).
📍 Prinsengracht 181, Amsterdam
