About the Lehigh University Tartan

Your unique tartan pattern was created using our proprietary algorithm, which combines the year Lehigh was founded - 1865 - with the geographic coordinates of its Bethlehem campus - 40.604° N, 75.377° W. 

The individual thread counts reveal your unique time and place in history using Lehigh's official primary colors - Brown and White. Lehigh's heart, mind, and spirit are also expressed through these secondary colors:

  • Brown for your campus’ rural heartbeat,
  • Red for our students' innovative mindset, and
  • Yellow for our spirit of positive societal change
