Erskine College Freshmen Continue Soiree Tradition
The Erskine College
Freshman Soiree was held in Moffatt Dining Hall Tuesday evening, with
a number of incoming freshmen dressed as hippies or disco devotees in
keeping with this year's '60s and '70s theme. Erskine's traditional dinner
dance matches each new freshman with a randomly chosen date for the evening.
Freshmen settled into residence halls yesterday and are moving through
a week of orientation activites that includes sessions on academics, career
options, health, library research, student organizations and service opportunities.
Students are invited to a number of social events this week, enjoying
a welcome dinner at the Due West ARP Church as well as ice cream and pool
at Snapper's Thursday evening; karaoke in the Watkins TV Room Friday evening;
and a progressive dinner hosted by campus literary societies and held
under the towers of the Erskine building Saturday evening.
Sunday's activities begin with a college worship service in the morning
and continue through the freshman orientation slide show and Student Government
Association speeches in the evening. Fall classes begin Monday, Sept.
1.
