Resident Assistants Extending a Helping Hand At the beginning of the school year, you can always find the RA ' s busily preparing their floor for the new residents. But that ' s not all. They start by learning the names of the 48 or more residents that live on their hall. Then they put their minds together and think of some new activities that the whole hall would enjoy. The residents always complain about the RA ' s being so strict and having to enforce the laws of the dorm, and then they expect the RA to drop the fine because they are good buddies, fraternity brothers, , or sorority sisters. This is where the friendship is put aside and the job of an RA comes in and takes over. But somewhere in all the hassle and commotion an RA is a close friend who is always there and seems to understand everything. Even though it is hard work, says Ann Ordonio of third floor in Rice Hall, it is nice knowing that I was able to help out when they needed me.
