Student Government is sponsoring a 90's themed organization fair this semester. The House Party will be held in the Atrium Jan. 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Student organizations can pick an activity that’s related to a television show, toys or games from the 90’s. They are encouraged to be creative and each organization is given a table for their items.
“We have 60 organizations signed up in attendance ranging anywhere from fraternities and sororities to academic clubs to sports clubs,” Speaker of the House for Student Government Abigail Galligan said. “Clubs in attendance usually have some sort of activity and prize to get people to stop at their table.”
According to Galligan, the event is a chance for new organizations to come out and show who they are and for students to see what organizations they would be interested in joining this semester. The House Party is different from other school events, such as Fall Fest, because it’s organization based.
“We really want to show off what we have to offer organization wise on campus,” Galligan said.
Galligan, Assistant Speaker of the House for Student Government Lauren Ouwerkerk and the Secretary of the House JB Saul have all been working diligently to make this event successful.
According to Galligan, despite some challenges with coordination she’s enjoyed seeing which organizations have signed up and how enthusiastic they all are about it. Student organizations that are not signed up can get involved by networking with those who did sign up.
“I hope to see a rise in membership in most groups and I want everyone to have a great time while they attend,” Galligan said. “Students should stop by the House Party if they want to get involved. We have so many different groups and clubs on campus that it would be a shame not to get involved in at least one.”
