Lehigh wrestler Ryan Crookham ’26 found a new way to spread the Lehigh spirit—a Brown & White Ice Cream Sundae.
The limited edition treat was featured at a meet-and-greet at the Ice Cream Parlor at the Hotel Bethlehem, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where Crookham serves as the hotel’s first “community ambassador.”
Crookham piled chocolate chunks on the creation, which included a brownie, whipped cream, and “Death by Chocolate” ice cream—all in honor of Lehigh’s colors.
