JILLIAN QUEST • THE BATTALION
By Amanda Trimble
THE BATTALION
Maggie Dolan, a senior recreation, park and tourism sci
ences major, remembers when her brother joined MSC
Hospitality in the fall of her freshman year. By the time the
spring semester rolled around, she knew she wanted to apply
for a student organization.
“I knew what they were doing was what I wanted to
do,” Dolan said.
In the spring, Dolan went to MSC Open House and picked
up an application for MSC Hospitality. Not only did she get in,
but four years later she is chair of the committee. Looking back,
she recalls the benefits of joining after her first semester.
“By the time I got in. I’d already had one semester,” Dolan
said. “I got in as a freshman, which was good, but I was also
a freshman with experience.”
When people think of Open House, they usually think
of the fall event known for its packed hallways with hun
dreds of organizations. The spring Open House offers just
as many opportunities with a less intimidating atmos
phere. This year’s spring Open House will be held Jan. 27
from 2-6 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center a week later
than usual because of the three-day Martin Luther King Jr.
holiday weekend. Entertainment will include the Texas
A&M Dance Repertoire, Aggie Wranglers, A&M Judo Club,
Aggieland Amateur Magicians Club and singer and songwriter
Johnathan Fowler.
As an added twist this spring, MSC Marketing has developed
an Office Space theme for advertisements. Ads have asked organ
izations if they “got that memo,” and let students know that “oh
... oh ... Open House” was coming soon. After Open House, MSC
Film Society will show Office Space in Rudder Theater at 6:30
p.m., free of charge.
Spring Open House can be a good opportunity for freshmen
who took advantage of the fall semester as a time to adjust.
Jaqueline Daw, a sophomore accounting major, said she did
not want to get involved as soon as she arrived at A&M. After fin
ishing high school, she said she needed a break.
“1 had a lot of responsibilities in high school, and I wasn’t
ready to tackle another one just yet,” Daw said. “After the fall, I
was ready to get involved and meet new people.”
As the spring semester drew closer, a friend told her about
MSC FISH, a freshman leadership organization that was recruit
ing for the spring.
Karen Schiltz, adviser for MSC Marketing, said that there are
more opportunities at spring Open House than most people assume.
“It’s a great opportunity, not just for freshmen, but for all stu
dents,” Schiltz said.
This spring, hundreds of organizations will be recruiting stu
dents. Just a sampling of those scheduled for Open House include
Howdy Ags, Fish Camp, Alpha Phi Omega and the Aggie
«
It’s a great opportunity, not just for freshmen,
but for all students.
— Karen Schiltz
MSC Marketing advisor
Orientation Leader Program.
Another opportunity includes becoming a Muster family host.
Huntleigh Harris, a senior industrial distribution major, said
Muster committee members will be at Open House to recruit stu
dents for families that have lost an Aggie in the past year.
“The host would make sure the family has everything that they
need,” Harris said. “They do everything from checking on their hotel
reservation to getting them a glass of water. They try to make sure
they have a good time, considering the circumstances.”
Ashley McAlpine, a senior industrial engineering major, said
she went to both spring and fall Open House before she joined
The Big Event her sophomore year.
“I was just walking through when I saw the table,” McAlpine
said. “I enjoyed it when 1 participated with another organization
my freshman year, so I just thought I’d apply.”
McAlpine became a staff assistant and is now the director of
The Big Event.
Whether a student plans to attend Open House with a specific
organization in mind or to see what catches their eye, the possibili
ties for campus involvement are endless.
