What?! Three weeks into the semester...already?! Time has been flying by here at Capital for me the last couple of weeks; time is scarce with not enough hours in the day to accomplish the tasks on my “To Do List”. In the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of excitement on campus. For our first Wicked Wednesday back on campus we had a comedian name Kevin Bozeman who was hilarious!
Then we had our 100th Anniversary of Capital Basketball celebration with a doubleheader of basketball games against our rival, the Cardinals from Otterbein College. The guys’ team destroyed the Cardinals, only allowing 12 measly points in the first half! And, although our girls came up a little short it was a great weekend of sporting events for Capital.
The excitement didn’t stop there, my co-ed Christian service fraternity, Sigma Alpha Beta, was accepted into Greek Life this past week and we threw our first campus party for the Rush process this week! It went over better than any of my “sisters and brothers” could have hoped for, and we are so excited to meet more and more people and let them know what we are all about! Not only that but, this Wednesday we had a comedian/racial advocate, Preacher Moss, perform his “Stop Racism Tour” here on campus. He was amazing; mixing comedy with sincerity, he really helped me to grasp the problems in our society with racial issues. It was fun and educational, two words that you don’t always here in the same sentence!
The next Wicked Wednesday that is coming up is actually an event that a friend of mine and I are partnering up to put on for the campus community. The event is called Capital Gladiators and we are bringing in an inflatable obstacle course and an inflatable joust for the students to enjoy. Along with these inflatables, we have selected students to face off against others student in a series of events to crown the “Capital Gladiator”! We are both excited and anxious to see how this event will turn out.
Also, there have been some new renovations here on campus. There is a new café located in one of our Residence Halls along with an internet lounge area just across the hall. There have been talks of naming the café “D-Bo’s Joe To-Go” in honor of our awesome President Denvy Bowman and I support this name completely! Many of the students refer to President Bowman as “D-Bo” and we hope that he would enjoy the name as well, but only time will tell…Hopefully, by my next blog I will be able to tell you that our event went great, Sigma Alpha Beta has tons of new people, and the “D-Bo’s Joe To-Go” is the official name of the café!
