RHA

So here I am now, more than a week later, still procrastinating? Why, you ask? Because I have been blessed with an 8 am organic chemistry lab. Now 8 am is awfully early for a class, and its definitely the only lab at this time. The only thing worse than an 8 am lab on Thursday is a 1-5 lab on Friday . . so here I am, stuck.

But I just got out of an RHA meeting that broke up the monotony of tonight, which consisted of and will continue to consist of my organic chemistry lab report. RHA, or the Residential Hall Association is a national organization for all the residence halls on every single campus. Our personal RHA is marked by funny characters and great people. Every Wednesday at 8, we get together for dinner and to talk about issues before the general body meetings, which consist of every dorm’s own government’s president and vice president. It’s more like a family dinner than an executive board meeting, and its totally different from any other organization I’ve been involved in so far. We threw a party about two weeks ago actually, and had hundreds of people show up. It was an immensely successful program . . . so successful that we want to throw another big event just for students to enjoy themselves with us! It’s definitely a college thing to simply throw a party for publicity, and for people to show up that aren’t even members of that organization. If you’re good, you might even recruit people at such an event . . . my comrades and I certainly put our name out there with our party. We even gave out T shirts that now we see students wearing all over campus.

See, this is what happens when you’re a sophomore. You get to know a lot of different people, and work with a lot of different people, and then, when you decide what you really want to commit yourself too, chances are, you’re going to know who is doing that with you. It’s a great combination and it really works out well when you’re running an organization and managing thousands of dollars with 7 other kids like you.

So here’s my tribute to the RHA!!

This is our t shirt design and unofficial slogan!
