The name of the event is WCU LAN 2xxx.x. Come to the LAN is short for come to the WCU LAN 2xxx.x event. Nobody wants to say “WCU LAN 2xxx.x” every time they mention the LAN. “The LAN” doesn’t mean Local Area Network in that sense.
Also, both Res Living and SGA consider us a valid college organization so it doesn’t really matter what the *edited* this retard thinks.
