Executive Decisions

As the chief executive officer, a.k.a. president, of a student organization the Student Organizations Fair that is tomorrow is a big deal for us. It is a time for us to showcase to the student body in general, and to the new first years specifically, what organizations may be of interest to them. Good ol' extracurricular activities that fill up some lines on the resume. If you're lucky you actually accomplish something or learn new things. The morning session starts at 10:30 while the afternoon session starts at 4:30. It is 11:30pm now and we STILL don't know which session we're supposed to attend. It's so nice to have notice ya know?

I was hoping to delegate a little, but I designed the flyer, had it printed by Kinko's, designed the posterboard, attached some cool pics of a trip, and bought Chex-Mix to entice hungry students to our table. The catch is that I'm not going to be around tomorrow as my internship starts up. So the rest of the executive board gets to staff the table at whatever time period is ultimately selected. Sounds like a fair deal I guess.

The dirty secret is that all the student orgs want dues paying members. It all comes down to money. Why do we want money so bad? It's for pizza! You'll think this is stupid, but pizza is what runs this school. The meetings where we provide pizza for those in attendance have three times the number of people than meeting where we don't provide pizza. I'm serious about that number. What does this mean: law students are cheap bastards! We don't appear to crave great intellectual thoughts, but fill their tummies with cheap pizza and they can be led anywhere.

Okay, all of this is tongue-in-cheek, but I do encourage those at school to attend the organization fair. You'll meet some interesting people and it's good to be part of something bigger than you. Just be sure to bring $20 bills.

Edit: Okay, we do both sessions. That's cool so all the organizations can meet with both day and night students. It is much more logical. Now can we have enough people to staff the table due to class conflicts? This is another reason why I need new members!
