Tadpol es AMBER LOGSDON WRITER Junior FROG Brandon Walraven and his partner, senior Erin Henning, guided an all-male group of 32 freshmen from Dingledine Hall. It ' s definitely been a rewarding experience, said Henning, who enjoyed watching the freshmen group acclimate to the university, from move-in day to their first day of classes. During the week, Henning and Walraven led their tadpoles through campus for meals and large group activities. The illusionist act was one of the group ' s favorite events. At lunches, the freshmen mingled with other FROG groups, such as a female group, also from Dingledine. They were a little more independent than most groups, said Walraven, who described his tadpoles as a diverse group of athletes, talkers and introverts. Many in the group had a positive attitude toward their FROGs. You can really go to them and ask anything if you want. They ' ll be around all year, said freshman Robert van Wijngaarden. While the group developed relationships with their FROGs, they also forged friendships among themselves. A few created a dance move called C203, named after one of their rooms in Dingledine. Others played pick-up basketball together. I definitely feel nostalgic. It reminds me of my freshman year, said Walraven. According to Walraven, at the beginning of the week, the group was unsure of how excited to act about orientation activities. However, by the end of the week, some told him they did not want orientation to end. When it did, their FROGs gave them some parting advice about how to succeed at the university. I told them to get involved, said Walraven. I think that ' s the best way to enjoy JMU. It seemed that this group of men heeded his advice. When Henning and Walraven returned to Dingledine for birthdays, they found that their tadpoles had adjusted to college well, becoming involved in club sports, fraternities and religious groups.
