Mission
The Wharton Rugby Football Club (WRFC) is looking for members interested in fitness, competition, and camaraderie! Come out to learn the game, compete with local clubs / university teams, and have a great time with fellow students. The season runs from September through April (including Hogfest in Philadelphia, Rugby tour to Ireland, and Rugby World Cup in NYC) – players can join at any time and the team is flexible with individual conflicts. We are a strong, competitive, and fun group.

If you love to have fun then you've got to check out the Hogs. We host regular planned (and unplanned!) social gatherings and events for our members and occasionally for the larger Wharton/Penn community.
