GROUP
New organization is about fun, laughs

There’s a new organization on campus, and its rules are simple.

There are none. No mandatory meetings. No screening process for membership. No dress code. No service requirements and no dues. But its purpose is clear: All the creators ask is that you meet people and come to have fun.

The organization is called The Frarority and welcomes men and women from different backgrounds, clubs, religious affiliations and social status. It’s not affiliated with the Greek system.

Its founders are freshmen, and they should be praised for their good idea. The group had its first meeting in the Student Center Thursday night and 35 to 40 students showed up. Pretty good for a first meeting.

But why wouldn’t you want to show up? Students want to be more involved in extracurricular activities, but sometimes all the requirements, like attending meetings and doing service projects, keeps students from staying involved.

Meetings and projects are important, but time is valuable, and extracurricular activities shouldn’t add more stress to your life. Based on the description of The Frarority, it seems like the group will do none of that. There is no screening process to see if you are “Frarority” material and no outrageously priced dues to pay.

So if you are a freshman trying to meet new people or a senior just wanting to try something new, The Frarority might be a good option for you. Go to (www.frarority.com) for more information.
