BEGINNING Orientation is only the beginning but most Pitt freshman as well as upperclassman can tell you what an exciting and fun-filled start to the fall term it truly was. Returning upperclassmen who are already familiar with the anxiety and confusion of a new term, knew where to find the fun and took advantage of these few days of activities. Mentors, student advisors, and faculty combined their talents to offer the freshman class endless opportunities to get acquainted with one another and the campus. The Activities Fair, which was held on the main level of Forbes Quad, treated freshmen to even more fun-filled activities. Various groups and organizations were represented by color decorated booths. Students were free to travel from booth to booth obtaining information about any organization that interested them. The Activities Fair provided a great opportunity for freshmen to discover the many activities to be involved with here at the University. There were clowns, artists, magicians and free refreshments for everyone. Pitt Greeks welcomed freshmen with a watermelon picnic on the Cathedral lawn. The mentors sponsored their own variety of athletic competitions for interested students. The massive influx of students accompanied by the many activities, seemed like an enormous family reunion, annually uniting Pitt's family of students.
