Through college experiences, we surpassed the expectations placed on ourselves. With changes being constandy made on campus and in our en- vironment, we ventured beyond the normal limits. Scheduling differences changed the way we operated. With Advantage Week shortened, freshmen had a tight schedule their first days on campus. Also, the Freshmen I ninsfer Show- case was not held on its traditional weekend that coincided with Family Day. The social organizations altered the way major events were conducted. Greek Week allowed organizations to focus on one community service project for Habitat for Humanity, while sorority bids were figured electronically. Change also accompanied the finished renovations of the South Complex residence hall. The new living-quarters of- fered students the opportunity to live in a suite-style residence hall. Student activities varied. Homecoming allowed us to show school spirit throughout (% the week. One individual rf( drove a PT Cruiser through ■ the parade route and spontaneously interrupted the morn- ing event. After the interruption, we swarmed into Rickenbrode Stadium to cheer the Bearcats on to a 62-7 vic- tory. Some of us spent our free time bonding over drinking games. Others donated their time by constructing haunted houses to raise money for charities. Active in many events, we participated in what college life had to offer. We entered the extraordinary by proving that we were versatile individuals who were developing socially.
