New Activities this Fall

The Student Organization Fair was pretty nice.  I walked around for about 20 minutes and signed up to get involved with the Red Cross Club, they organize and run the blood drives on campus, and also SGTV, the school's broadcast show that's relatively new and completely ran by students. The one organization that I intentionally tried to find was the school's CREW team.  I've talked about it in class a few times, but I have a friend in Philly who loves being on their rowing team, and highly recommended that I get on the one at USC.  I'm pretty sure someone told them that I was coming to find them, because they were no where to be found.  It's almost like they don't want people to join- for how difficult it's been for me to get any information about the club at all. I know they have one, so I'm determined.  But we'll see how things work out.  I also have been attending Campus Crusade each week and going to their events, like concerts, tailgates, and a scavenger hunt.  It's also a really great club for meeting new students and upperclassmen. 

Besides activities on-campus, I've also contacted numerous volunteer organizations off-campus.  A big reason that I joined the Red Cross Club is because I'm working along side Columbia and Charleston's American Red Cross Centers this year with my National title.  I'm also going to be the MC at the special Olympics in Charleston this year.  I've been going to the Boys & Girls Club in Lexington once a week since I've lived here at USC.  I am also getting involved with the local Ronald McDonald House.  I will be helping organize and participating in two parades this winter, one is in Nashville, TN and the other is in Charlotte, NC.  Currently, I'm working on a coat drive here on campus because at the end of November, I'm going to New York City's Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx and want to be able to take them new or used coats for the winter time.  It's just one necessity that most of those kids won't have, and I want to be able to bring as many as I can to them.  So, please donate with me!
