In an effort to show that Dorm Rush is valuble to freshmen and upperclassmen,
DormCon has drafted the following petition. It should be at every dorm desk
and more can be printed from: http://web.mit.edu/dormcon/www/petition.pdf
FSILG members are welcome and encouraged to sign it. Students living in a dorm
and belonging to an FSILG should put down both living groups in the Living
Group(s) space.
The text of the petition is:
We the undersigned feel that dormitory rush is a valuable experience for
freshmen and upperclassmen alike. Freshmen get to know campus, learn about the
diverse dorm cultures to help in choosing where they would be happiest living
their first year and beyond, and meet new people -- both fellow freshmen and
upperclassmen. Upperclassmen use the time to encourage community both within
the dorm and across campus, and meet freshmen who will live in all dorms. For
these reasons, we feel that this campus wide community event should be brought
back as an uninterrupted multiday event prior to the closing of the Orientation
Lottery.
Thanks,
Grace
