The Strong College Croquet Tournament has been held each fall during Homecoming Weekend since 1995. In recent years, the Croquet Tournament has alternatively been held the third Saturday of September. Participation in the tournament is open to all Strong College members. The tournament is complemented by a cookout, a hat contest arbitrarily, and rather skillfully, judged by one of the Faculty Fellows, and the annual Pie-A-CA fundraiser, at which College Staff and Fellows receive faces full of dessert while raising funds for local charities.
