The Positives:

Recruitment week was this week. There were a great number of students in the quad all week long attending events of the different Greek organizations. It’s nice to see everyone trying new things, going out of their comfort zones, and trying to get involved. If you missed recruitment week, don’t worry because it happens again in the spring.

There is always so much to do on campus. All you have to do is get out of your dorm room. This weekend, I played mini golf in the Soundview quad. It’s fun stuff like that that really brightens up my day. Great idea SCOPE!

The Negatives:

Has anyone noticed that there are quite a few parking spots in the Winchester lot that are blocked off by machinery and ropes? Hopefully they can get those spots cleared off soon, because as everyone knows, we need all of the parking spots that we can get.

The weather completely did a 180 degree turn last week. One morning and afternoon, it was nice outside and still warm. That night came around and it was freezing outside. Now the weather is getting cooler and the sweatshirts need to come out again out of storage. Needless to say, I already miss summer.

The Battery Charge:

We are going to change things up this week and make the Battery Charge about one of the positives of the week. This week we’ll talk about recruitment week: the biggest week of a semester for Greek Organizations. I know many of you probably were annoyed with all of the emails, the chanting in the quad every night, and the many people representing their organizations. However, it was nice to see so many people come out and rush the various organizations. It’s good to learn about some of these organizations, especially because it gives you the insight as to what this campus offers its students.
