Club functions occur across campus throughout the school year, but a handful always seem to garner more attention. There are several clubs that have a \u201csignature\u201d function that happens every single year. In fact, those functions gain so much popularity that they become traditions.<\/p>\n
Men\u2019s social club Beta Omega Chi hosts the Boxmania function every year. For the function everyone dresses up in crazy outfits and goes to watch amateur wrestling matches. BOX activities director, Josh Sellers, said this is members\u2019 favorite function every year because of how fun and relaxed the atmosphere is and how it appeals to everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe night has just become a part of who we are,\u201d Sellers said. \u201cIt truly is something to look forward to each year.”<\/p>\n
Another men\u2019s social club on campus, Sigma Nu Epsilon, hosts a glow-in-the-dark dodgeball function every year called \u201cMeteor Shower.\u201d SNE Activities director Mitch Spann said the function started the same year as the club started back in 2013. Spann said the club has kept this function going for one simple reason: it is fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do it every year because it\u2019s unique and a great time,\u201d Spann said. \u201cWe\u2019ve never really had any complaints other than the few people who get hit in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n
In place of their formal, Gamma Sigma Phi hosts a function called \u201cClam Bake.\u201d The idea for the function lies within the name itself, a hangout where the members bake clams. Over the years, it has developed into a big grill out at Green Ferry Lake in Heber Springs.<\/p>\n
GSP Activities Director Jordan Boling said Clam Bake is not only the club\u2019s trademark function, but also the function that requires the most work. Boling and fellow activities director, senior Micah Thomas, have been preparing for the clam bake since January.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reason it is so important is because it is essentially an end-of-the-year celebration.\u201d Boling said. \u201cIt allows us to hang out at the lake, jump off cliffs and enjoy time with each other before summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
A couple more of these unique functions include Sigma Phi Mu\u2019s \u201cHunger Games\u201d and Omega Phi\u2019s \u201cPajama Jam.\u201d Hunger Games is similar to a large game of capture the flag takes place at night and couples fight to the \u201cdeath\u201d hoping to be the winner of the Hunger Games. Pajama Jam is a two-hour concert. Members and their dates dress in pajamas and listen to music local to the university.<\/p>\n
All of these functions have one thing in common: the continuous fun that they bring clubs every year. Which is why these legendary functions have become traditions.<\/p>\n
