IN SHORT :
interactions begin on friday ( october 11th ) and though you are more than welcome to make starters based around anything, weâve decided to give you all a sorts of mini-event to give you guys a little bit to work with when it comes to interactions instead of throwing you all in blindly to figure it all out !!
this is also a time for us admins to get everything in order, so youâll need to send in anything you want your character to be apart of â sororities/fraternities/clubs â so we can add your character to the correct lists. youâll also need to send in whether or not youâd like your character to be in one of the positions within said groups. us admins will not be deciding who gets the positions if there are multiple people wanting a position, it will be put to a vote and we ask that members vote for the character they think will be best in the position
for those who would like their characters to have a single room, this is the time to send in that request before we randomly select roommates for the group various halls !! please note only the characters that stay in hartley hall, watt hall, & carlton arms can have single rooms.
this mini-event will end on sunday ( october 13th ) so up until then you can base starters & interactions around welcome week  !!
welcome students ! hope everyone is settling down well ! iâd like to formally introduce myself ! iâm the universityâs official activity director and iâll be helping you throughout the rest of your years at columbia with events, clubs, greek life, major assignments, and roommate assignments ! feel free to send in any questions you guys have and iâll be more than happy to answer them !
