A traditional part of initiation occurs on the individual floors of the residence halls. The upperclassmen on the floor ' s deternnine what requirements their Frosh have to meet, and creativity is always exercised. Some of these floors options include bathroom drills, air raid drills, salutations of upperclassmen, as well as many others. These activities help floor freshmen and upperclassmen get to know each other and provide a solid base for the forming of friendships. Freshmen initiation gave me the opportunity to meet many upperclassmen, fr eshman Michelle Steege said. It showed me that they didn ' t think of us as ' lowly freshmen ' , but accepted us as people. While coming to college can often be a somewhat confusing, and even scary, time for freshman, the bonds with fellow freshmen and upperclassmen that are formed during initiation last much longer than the frightening feelings. As with every school year, students head to class with their books. Junior Lori Lensch waits for some help to come! 5

Seniors Sharon Krogen and Will Safris seem happy to be back! During the first week of every school year, the freshmen at Wartburg are a select group. They are struggling to remember names, faces and buildings. Each year they are assisted with these through initiation, a fun-filled week for freshmen as well as upperclassmen. In recent years, initiation activities have been held for a few days during the first week of school and the the President dubbed the freshmen Knights during the first football game. This year, however, President Vogel wanted to return to having initiation officially continue until Outfly. Initiation began with Balloon Day this year. This required freshmen to carry two balloons with them all day so upperclassmen could identify them as Frosh . The week continued with such events as a scavenger hunt, an outdoor dance, freshmen cheers at halftime of the Alumni football game and New Games Day. I had a lot of fun with initiation, freshman Kim Adolphs said. I met lots of new people and it made me feel included right away in life at Wartburg. Friends gather together again at one of the traditional Wartburg picnics. 4
