In 2018 and 2019, extensive consultations were held throughout the house, leading to the creation of a new and improved house anthem. This process involved gathering input from residents to ensure the anthem truly reflected the spirit and values of Helshoogte Men’s Residence. The new anthem captures the essence of our traditions, unity, and pride, serving as a rallying cry that brings together past, present, and future generations of Helshoogte residents. It stands as a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and our dedication to fostering a strong, cohesive community. This anthem, much like the residence itself, symbolizes the rich history, the dynamic present, and the promising future of Helshoogte, reinforcing our identity and inspiring us to uphold the legacy of excellence and brotherhood.
