On September 30, 2006, prior to the Northwestern football game, Varsity S Club members celebrated Varsity S Day in true Penn State spirit at a pre-game social located under tent in the southeast corner of Bryce Jordan Center property. The social kicked-off a day that honored all former University Park student-athletes, cheerleaders and managers for their valuable contributions to the traditions, ideals and spirit of Penn State Athletics throughout the years.

In addition to socializing, the Club President, John Barnes, presented one former outstanding Penn State employee, Kay Kustanbauter (Athletic Development), honorary lifetime membership to the Varsity S Club. Kay now joins Don Ferrell and Diana Kenepp (Morgan Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes), Ellen Perry (Athletic Administration), Frank Rocco (Athletic Administration) and John Coyle (NCAA Faculty Athletic Representative) as the only six honorary members of the organization.
