It’s that time you’ve all been waiting for... Freshers Week! From the 7th till the 11th October, classes are cancelled and events will be taking place instead! Every single day has an event and a dress code. Prizes are up for grabs everyday and this a great chance to campaign for Best Newcomer!
So, on Monday there will be a water fight with a 90s dress code. The prize is for the winning team of the water fight and don’t worry, we’ve taken the liberty of putting you into teams. The prize a $10 on campus coffee card for each member of the winning team.
On Tuesday, there will be a pumpkin carving contest with best design and execution winning a $50 gift card for the on campus store! Dress code for Tuesday is Seeing Red.
Wednesday sees the Pub Quiz event. Once again, we’ve made the teams and picked the captains. All people in the winning team will get treated to a Bowling Trip with two games, food and drink! Dress code.... It’s Glow Up Day!
Rolling into Thursday we will be having the Zip-tie Samaritans event. Pairs have been chosen and those people will be zip-tied to each other until they have completed a randomly assigned task. All students who complete the task will receive a free NDU Hoodie upon cutting of the zip-ties! Dress code is going to be Alphabet and you will be assigned a letter during the week.
Finally, on Friday, the Greek Row will be hosting a BBQ. Each Fraternity and Sorority will have their own area of focus and they will be told in due course. We have decided to give you a partner each to take to the BBQ and the dress code, it’s simple, dress to impress. Best dressed couple get a meal off campus.
As you know Best Newcomer will be announced at the BBQ. First place gets 1 months free ice cream. Second place gets 2 weeks free ice cream and 3rd place gets a weeks free ice cream from the gelato store in town!
Under the cut is some OOC information so please read, I know this is long but this is a big event.

The teams and pairs for all these tasks have been chosen by random generators.
Water fight winner has been decided by a random generator picking five names and whichever team they were on, got the point.
The pub quiz is taking place on a discord server. You will be assigned a team and you must work together to answer the questions. If teams get 100% I will know you cheated and you will be disqualified!
For the zip tie event, you will be told your partner and your task and you have to work with the mun to complete the task. As well as receiving your partner, you will receive the letter of your dress up outfit.
For the BBQ, I will speak with members of each fraternity and sorority to give you the responsibility. Best dressed will be decided by myself and Jordyn.
Partners for the BBQ will be sent out during the week.
I know this is a big event but this is the first major event and if it’s successful, I will work on more of these!
