Freshman Antics
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2001 11:15 amBackground: My floor's Community Living Agreement contains the line "Make the floor a welcoming place for girls." There has been a sentiment that, while welcoming the floor may be, girls have not been present.
So Monday night, one of my residents was in the shower. Several other residents snagged his towel, clothes, and keys and locked his door. Then somebody went down to the girls' floor and invited them to come see something exciting.
Shortly thereafter, the poor resident in question appeared from the shower room with a shower curtain around his waist (against flesh, it's pretty see-through) and his basket of shower equipment in front of his crotch. He trotted down to his room, his photo was taken, and he discovered the locked door. He went into a neighbor's room and slipped into a pair of lent shorts. Shortly thereafter, he got his clothes and keys back and had a good laugh about it. Male bonding: pranks and insults. It's great.
It was all pretty hillarious, the sort of bonding and community building that RAs can't really plan. The girls and a couple of the guys continued to chat for about half an hour. Good stuff.
