Campus Involvement
And if you’re into getting involved on campus, you came to the right place. For before you lies the land of student government representatives and meetings.
Service Day!!!
I am SO excited about tomorrow! It’s the annual Service Day, where all students are excused from class, and faculty, staff, and students join together in serving the community of Batesville.
Back in the Saddle Again
Okay, so we really don’t use saddles much around the Lyon campus, but I guess that saying is kind of relevant to the way I feel. I’m all settled in as far as living quarters (becuase if my Mom saw my room, she might yell at me to clean it up…), and now classes are in full swing!
Home Again?
My return to campus has been great! I moved in yesterday to my apartment, and now I’m all settled in and ready for the whirlwind of events to begin! Tomorrow I’ll help with Freshman move-in, and that will be…exhausting! But it’s a great way to meet the incoming students and serve.
The End
Here we are at the end of the semester – the end of the last semester for some. 4 years have come and gone and now we must move on into the next part of our lives. As the end approaches, I start thinking about the beginning. Freshman year, I had no idea what was happening with anything. I would just go where my friends went. (I was a shy freshman) Slowly over the years, I became involved in things that my close friends were not involved in. Now I am doing all sorts of things with new people and have no problem with doing them. I became a member of a lot of different clubs, president of some clubs, worked phone-a-thons, worked in the admissions office, joined the tennis team for a while (I wasn’t any good though), coached some swimming for the town team, and student taught at BHS. I think I have come a long way from the lost, shy freshman that I started off being and most seniors here at Lyon will tell you the same thing about themselves. You really grow during your college years – especially here at Lyon. There are so many different things for what ever you are interested in and so many different ways to become a leader.
Student Government Association
At the beginning of fall semester, and near the end of spring semester, some very important things happen with the SGA. Elections! During this time, the secretary of SGA oversees the administration of these elections. This is quite a busy time, but it is so rewarding when all is said and done!
Swim!!!
Although I cannot claim to be good at it, I love to swim. So I was very excited to hear when I was a prospective student that Lyon has an Olympic-sized pool. When I arrived on campus, however, I was astounded to figure out that there was no swim team.
Your Opinion, Please!
It’s about time for the Lyon website to get a little makeover. I’m on a committee that’s evaluating the current website and considering different proposals for the re-design. Here’s a few questions for you: What do you think of the current website, http://www.lyon.edu/? What aspects do you like? Are there things that you absolutely hate? What types of elements would you enjoy seeing incorporated into the re-design?
Onward!
This week is recruitment (also known as “rush” at other schools) week for the Greek women’s organizations. This means that we have three parties on school nights and then by the end of the week there are new members in each organization. I’m having a lot of fun helping out my sorority so far. Tonight is the party that everyone always remembers, and it is going to be super. I’m very excited about all the girls that are going through and cannot wait to see who joins us. Since all this takes place during everything else “normal” going on like class and such, I’m beginning to get a little frenzied. But I think I’ll be able to catch up on sleep and homework. Greek life is so fun on this campus, in spite of its small stature! I hope everyone gets what they want this week…Ciao!
Moving Along
Every time I move, I’m amazed by the amount of stuff that can fit into such a tiny space. Things tend to accumulate over the school year and when it’s time to move out, there’s about three times as much stuff as when the year began.
Life in a Frat House
Alright who’s seen Animal House? Okay not really exactly how it really is, but real life does have it’s own characters as well. Really fraternity life isn’t about all the partying that you see on TV shows and movies. I’m not gonna lie and say that we don’t provide some social life for Lyon, but I wanted to let you know about some of the other qualities there are to being in a fraternity or Greek for that matter.
