Stuff to do on campus

There is always lots to do on campus! Two weekends ago one of the fraternities on campus hosted a frisbee golf tournament. We were all able to pick out teams with our friends and the caddy we wanted and play a round of frisbee golf throughout the campus. It was a blast! The goals were pre-existing landmarks, like the Abraham Lincoln statue, or the admissions sign.
Last weekend, one of the other fraternities held Derby Days. This is a weekend full of fun events such as a scavenger hunt (searching for random items like a stuffed elephant), dunk tank, races (through a GIANT blow up obstacle course!!), and a water balloon launch (hit the derby daddys at the bottom of the hill)! Depending on how well teams do, points are given and prizes are awarded at the end!
I am also very excited for this week because it's homecoming week. People always get very spirited, we paint the windows in the commons representing our clubs and activities, and tons of people go to the football game to cheer on the team! I know my sorority even got shirts so we can all cheer on the team together! I am very excited!

HI! I'm Emily!

My name is Emily Lukacs and I am a sophomore here at Ripon College. I am so excited to be writing this blog so you can all read about my experiences here! I remember my senior year in high school, I was pretty nervous about what to expect from college, but with this blog, you can get a first hand experience and see what kinds of things we do here!
Ok, some more about me so you know what to expect: I work here in the admissions office and I am a psychology or a psychobiology major (I haven’t decided between those yet!) and I want to be a pediatric psychologist one day. On campus I am involved in chefs anonymous, and our very popular greek life system. I love hanging out with friends and going to all the on campus activities I can (like Iron Chef!). There is always a lot to do!
Please feel free to leave comments or send me and e-mail! I love comments or questions and I try to get back to you pretty quick! Also, I think one of the most important things about the college search process is visiting the school! We would love to meet you and have you see the campus! It’s a great way to see what we have and meet some cool new people! I hope to see you soon!
