How To: SACtivities Fair

activities_fair2

We get it. You're just not involved enough. You're looking for a change. You want to explore other disciplines. You want to have as many leadership positions as you can, despite the fact that you hate leading people.

Almost all of these are valid reasons to attend the Activities Fair this evening from 5-9pm on Locust Walk. Here are a few tips on how to really succeed at the event:

  1. Memorize the emails of the people you hate and sign them up for every group.
  2. Take a folder, bag, pouch, fanny pack, wagon, whatever. Something to carry the 70 recruitment fliers that will be shoved into your arms.
  3. Look nice. If the president of an organization sees you, yes you, girl with no blow dryer wearing a "cool" T-shirt from NSO, you're already fired. 
  4. Avoid eye contact with the groups you have no interest in. The second your eyes meet theirs, you're pitifully drawn to their table and your inbox becomes their bitch.
  5. Express interest in the groups you really want to join. Introduce yourself. Engage in conversation without looking constipated. Stand out.
  6. Never, never, never talk about your AP or SAT scores with upperclassmen. They'll throw up all over you.
  7. Join The DP. Even better, join UTB.
  8. Have fun! This is a time to practice your networking skills, despite the fact that you're probably boring.
