McGlinn Hall Mission Statement
We are the shamrocks, a community of friends, students, and leaders who come together to live, work, play, and serve, to better ourselves and inspire others in the spirit of Notre Dame. Through our activities, we seek to grow and develop a deeper sense of unity and tradition within McGlinn.

Favorite memory of 2010-2011: One of my favorite memories of the year was the campus wide snowball fight in December. News of the event was spread completely via mass text - thank you technology. All of the North Quaders lined up on one side of South Quad and all of South Quaders lined up on the other side, and on the count of three we charged at each other. I remember getting nailed in the eyeball with an iceball, crying, having a pounding headache the next morning, and then bragging about my "war wound" to everyone who would listen.
