Blacklight Dance Party! Oh yeahhh!! :)



Describe it...  
One of my girls said that she would love to have a dance party for her birthday. And so we did!! We had a floor/core event, where our floor (3 South), and the 2 freshman core on my floor (Core 16 and Core 24) were invited to come to a Blacklight Dance Party! Since it was an organized dance party, and it was coed, I had to apply for it through SDL and obtain an approved playlist. So, I reserved the RCF for the evening and we had our floor/core blacklight dance party!! We also had some snacks. So much funnn!!

Location Location Location... 
RCF - Ralph Carey Forum - lower level of the Student Center  

Number that Attended: 
way too many to keep count!! People not in my floor or either of the cores also came! Great fun!!

Publicity
Posters, facebook page, emails. 
I also told the PAs of the 2 cores to tell it to their core kids!  

Set-Up:
The birthday girl, some of her friends, some girls from my floor, and one of the PAs helped with set up.  

Clean-Up
same people who set up also cleaned up. Also, some of the boys from one of the cores helped in putting the room back to order at the end of the dance party.  

$ (insert event cost here)
didn't really keep an exact amount. But I would say just a few dollars for snacks.  

Positive Outcomes: 
such a FUN event. Great times dancing and just being ourselves. It was great to see the girls to feel so free and just dance around. The cores are very close to each other so they just had a lot of fun dancing around together. 

What would you have done differently
Nothing at all!  

Would You Do This Activity Again?  
For sure for sure!!

Room Show n' Tell & Apples to Apples



Describe it...  
It was a chance for the girls to show off their room and share with the floor what makes up *them*. Also, there were certain categories that they could win prizes for (like best decorated, most hospitable, etc). So, we just rotated around to each girls room (i.e. to those who signed up to do Room Show n' Tell), and we just learned more about eachother. Then, we played Apples to Apples as a floor in our hallway.

Number that Attended: 
 11

Publicity
 posters, facebook page, emails

Set-Up:
no set-up needed. Everybody just straightened up their own room

Clean-Up
 none needed

$ (insert event cost here)
$0 :)  

Positive Outcomes: 
it was a great time for the girls to get to know their floormates, and also a chance for them to show off their room and their personalities  

What would you have done differently
Um. Not much really. May would have done it in a weekend that more girls would have been around - but that's always hard to do.  

Would You Do This Activity Again?  
oh yea!!
