Eye of the Tiger is a multi-skilled, 20-hour long event designed to test each Cadet’s teamwork ability, physical and mental endurance, problem-solving skills, and Sisu (Norwegian for “grit”).
Traditionally, Eye of the Tiger is held over a weekend in March. The Eye of the Tiger badge and patch are worn on Cadet uniforms to signify membership in this elite fraternity.
Leaders of Character are built through challenges, physical and mental. The Eye of the Tiger Challenge is one of the toughest gut checks a young man will participate in.
