A freshman darted through the student center trying to get signatures for her club book. A club member approached and requested that she recite the club Bible verse. Taking a deep breath, she says the words she has worked on memorizing all week.This is a typical scene for a student participating in club week. Vice president of Titans social club Marco Orozco said he hoped this year’s new members would take as much away from the club week experience as he did.”[Club] week is how I made my best friends,” Orozco said. “The friendships that are made in the one week were what I took away from the process, and it’s something that I’ll always be thankful for.”Iota Chi inductee Meckae-Lynn McCall said the intensity of club week will be worth it in the end.”I’m also really excited to sort of make a fool of myself,” McCall said. “I’m just ready to be a part of something bigger than myself here on campus.”TNT inductee Jason Oller said he thinks the new friends he makes are the best part of the club process.”I am enjoying the club process because I’m getting to meet a lot of cool guys that I otherwise wouldn’t meet,” Oller said. “I am looking forward to having a lot of fun with my [inductee] brothers. I know that we will all get pretty close during that week.”Vice President of Ju Go Ju social club Tessa Knight said she thinks the uniqueness of club week is something to be treasured.”I mean, how often can you see someone being ‘orange-crushed’ or wearing a big purple bow or being serenaded by a complete stranger and not have a second thought about it?” Knight said. “Only during club week.”
