 GiN Con, formerly known as '''SquirrelCon''', has long been the highlight of the gaming year.  New games are usually purchased with the remaining year's budget, giving members a second wind before the end of the year.  On the Saturday of the event, there is a grill-out between [[Post Hall]] and the [[Quads]].  Free food is sure to attract huge amounts of gamers (and even some non-members), leaving the grillmaster (usually [[David Gentry]], what will you do without me?) with tons of mouths to feed.

+==The Legendary Budget Calamity of 2012==
 During the budget process of [[Spring Term]] 2012, some extenuating circumstances caused a problem with GiN's budget, almost resulting in the mandatory disbanding of the club for the following year.  It was decided that GiN would remain a listed club, but would receive a $0 budget for 2012-2013.  Through extensive debating with [[Student Senate]] and [[Finance Committee]], we were able to push through a successful budget appeal.  Not only did this appeal grant us a budget, but also rewarded us for a strong [[Fall Term]], resulting in GiN's highest yearly budget to date thanks to record attendance at our '''Fall Gaming Mixer'''.

 A weekend-long extravaganza of gaming.  As the first major event of the year, this is where GiN gets to show off the influx of shiny, new first-years to the rest of the gaming campus.  There is usually a Magic draft which is the major draw for the weekend, but [[Fall Term]] 2012 marked the beginning of a new tradition with Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Settlers of Catan tournaments.

 GIN has three major events per year, one in each trimester. During the [[Fall Term]], the '''Charity Game-A-Thon''' raises large amounts of money to benefit children in hospitals and buy them games and toys. '''Wintereenmas''', held during [[Winter Term]], is a weekend filled with video games, Guitar Hero and Magic tournaments, and much more. '''GiN Con''', the spring event, is similar to Wintereenmas, but on a significantly larger scale.
