Makeda Kefale, co-director of Spring Fling, said that an added element will be the many philanthropic events run by Greek organizations, which are sure to "bring a great positive attitude" to Fling.
An additional vendor from Ed's Buffalo Wings & Pizza will be present this year, at student requests.
Kefale guarantees that the Of a Revolution Concert concert tonight will be a highlight of Fling, as it was already sold-out by Wednesday. She is also personally excited for the Unknown Sigma Step Team, and recommends catching its performance at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
College sophomore Felina Zolotarev described Fling as a great opportunity for freshmen to "get a feel for the different student groups and see what you'd like to get involved in."
