For this week's post, yes that is right, from now on I will try and do weekly posts due to the results of my blog poll, I will be telling you all about what a Society is!!!! When you've got a couple thousand students on campus, it gets overwhelming. So the ingenious people's in the suits and ties who sit in big offices decided to break down the college into smaller groups called societies. These societies have Greek names and a mascot such as: Theta Alpha Chi, the Owls. Of course that is my society :D the best society on campus...and I am not biased whatsoever ;P During the first weeks, you get to visit the different societies and find out about them then choose the one you want to join for the next four years of college.
When you join a society...now what? I am glad you asked!!! There are so many cool society opportunities possible!!! Multiple times a year we have special society outings, such as Stag outings, CSC, or dating outings. Stags have nothing to do with horses, though I tried and tried already to find the connection. Stag outings simply mean it is not a dating outing, since the societies are all one gender, we have our "brother" society whom is our opposite gender society we do dating outings or other activities with. For stag outings or dating outings, we go to things like the zoo, pumpkin carvings, or even white water rafting! The moon is the limit when it comes to outings, literally! Though I don't think us poor college students could afford to pay for a trip to the moon though that would be a cool idea one year. CSC is just when we as a society go out into the community and help somewhere such as a children's home, manning booths at festivals, or handing out tracks.
Besides going on fun activities together what else do we do as a society? Weeeeeeell, we participate in sports! Our society decides which sports we want to create a team for then we compete against the other societies to see who wins the championship!
As a society we meet weekly on Friday to have fun and games as well as keep up society spirit through cheers and society songs. "Hoot baby hoot" is pretty much our society chant or cheer that we yell out to rouse society spirit and is integrated in a lot of our cheers. We have society t-shirts, buttons, and sweatshirts. That is the reason for my society's apparent obsession with Owl clothing. We also meet on Sunday before church for society Sunday School.
These crazy guys here are part of my brother society: Phi Beta, the Bulldogs!!!
I have joined, as said before, the society called the Owls. We are a smaller society of about forty girls. We are such a close group of friends, they are more then just a society, they are a large family of sisters in Christ! We are continually encouraging each other and getting together outside of "official society stuff" for dinner or just hanging out! I am so glad those fancy guys in suits came up with the idea of societies!!! Through societies I am developing friendships that will continue beyond the years of college!
