Rock-A-Day: Delta Upsilon New Member Rock

The new members of Delta Upsilon’s colonization attempt decided to follow the Alpha Xi Delta’s idea, and painted the rock with their initials.  DU was granted Interest Group status at last week’s Interfraternity Council meeting.

Rock-A-Day: Rush Edition

Interfraternity Council painted the rock this week to make the campus aware that it was Rush Week.  What looked better…the Rock, or the masterful use of Word when making the event poster this year?  Rush week continues tonight with events from Lambda Chi Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, and Delta Tau Delta.  You can find the full schedule on the Writing on the Mall calendar.

Filling the Gaps

Its been a week and a half/two weeks since I had to send my laptop in for repairs, so here’s all the news you missed!

• Viva La Revolucion!  Parking for upperclassmen has been restored to the Gathering Place parking lot.  All blue parking passes can now park in the lot, along with red passes for freshmen that received them.
• Hooray for the Blue and White!  The Pioneers defeated Thiel College in the River City Bowl with a score of 20-14.  Looking ahead, Marietta College plays Wilmington College this Saturday at 6 PM, the season’s only home night game.
• Lambda Chi Alpha held their annual Watermelon Bust.  13 teams from various organizations competed in events ranging from watermelon tossing to melon carving.  The teams raised nearly 500 pounds of food, which will go to the Marietta Community Food Pantry as part of the Lambda Chi chapter’s North American Food Drive effort.
• H1N1 “Swine” Flu may have finally made it to Marietta College.  There have been a couple reported cases of potential H1N1 infections, but they haven’t been confirmed yet as far as I know.  More information will be posted later.
• Sternwheeler has come and gone.  The three day event brought thousands of visitors to the city of Marietta for a fun-filled weekend that culminated in one of the region’s most spectacular firework shows.  I was once again happy to get myself some Quaker Steak and Lube wings and a Bloomin’ Onion from vendors, and won a t-shirt from the Ohio Lottery.
• Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment began yesterday.  Events continue through Thursday for IFC and Friday for PHC.

Interfraternity Council Rush Continues Tonight!

This one is for all the men of Marietta College.  If you are interested in joining one of the three fraternities on campus, then head out to one of the rush events the rest of this week.  This is your chance to meet all three houses and find out which one is the best fit for you.  IFC Exec Board officers will be present to answer any questions you may have regarding the chapters or Greek Life as a whole.

Club MC

Club MC is tonight starting at 5 PM and running for a good long time.  Stop by the Writing on the Mall / MariettaSports.net / Pioneer Online Media booth, or say hi to me at the Interfraternity Council booth.  I’ll be all over the place.

Doo Dah Day Activities Announced!

Doo Dah Day is fast approaching.  As in Saturday.  IFC has Mud Volleyball at 10 AM.  And CUB’s plans start at noon.  Interested in seeing everything that’s happening on campus?  Here’s the list.

Interfraternity Council (IFC) Mud Volleyball starts at 10 AM.  No more teams are being accepted, but there will be plenty of donuts, coffee, rootbeer, and music for all to enjoy.

CUB has moved from Mill’s Parking Lot to DU field for this year’s activities.  They’ll be offering Human Bowling, Jousting, Velcro Walls, Obstacle Courses, and a Slip’n Slide.  Jesty Beatz makes a return, performing at 12:45 PM, and FLOREZ will be playing at 2:30 PM.

Super Bowl Party Time

I hate the Steelers (yes, I am a Browns fan, get over it).

But, I can’t wait to go watch the Cardinals whoop on the Steelers (hopefully) tonight.  And I’ll be doing it with all the other people heading over to the Gathering Place tonight.

IFC and CUB are co-sponsoring a Super Bowl Party at the G-Spot starting at 6 PM.  We’ll have about 300 wings there, along with tons of pizza, and of course, unlimited drinks of the non-alcoholic type.  The game will be on all the TV’s (including the giant screen), and all of the usual G-Spot activities will be available for use (including pool, foosball, and the new arcade machines that they installed).  The fraternities will be bringing their cornhole boards and will have tables set up to inform male students about the positives of fraternal life at Marietta College.  CUB will be bringing prizes to raffle off (mostly Steelers stuff, but I’m sure that most people in the area won’t mind that).

So, 6 PM tonight at the Gathering Place…be there or be square!
