O-Week Themes for 2013

<p>Update this thread if you see/hear of a new O-week 2013 theme.</p>

<p>So far...</p>

<p>Martel: Sub-ZerO week
Duncan: Somewhere Over the RainbO week</p>

<p>Does anyone know why the colleges come out with their O-week themes now even though all the freshmen that will be in their college don’t know which college they are in yet?</p>

<p>@CollegeBound947 I suppose it’s for the excitement of those current students preparing for O-Week. From my understanding it’s a pretty fun time for them all as well. And by the time O-Week does come around, those admitted students will have found out which college they belong to (I’ve heard you find out in June or July).</p>

<p>Hanszen is El DoradO-Week (:</p>

<p>And to answer your question of why the colleges come out with their themes so early, it’s because this is the time when advisors are being interviewed/selected, after which they start planning for O-Week. Knowing the theme allows them to come up with a name for their group as well as T-shirt designs and other things that have to be planned/designed.</p>

<p>Jones’ theme is Oh, the Places You’ll GO-Week! It should be a lot of fun. The coordinators are a phenomenal group of people. They’re currently hard at work putting together a team of advisors. Future Jonesians are in good hands. <3</p>

<p>Will Rice is 90’s 2.0-Week and I’m pretty sure Lovett is doing Pixar StudiO-Week, or something like that.</p>

<p>Martel: Sub-ZerO week
Duncan: Somewhere Over the RainbO week
Hanszen: El DoradO-Week
Jones: Oh, the Places You’ll GO-Week
Will Rice: 90’s 2.0-Week
Lovett: Pixar StudiO-Week</p>

<p>Are you guys on the planning committee for your res college? It seems awfully early to know the themes for nest year’s freshman class!</p>

<p>Not early at all. Have to have enough time to have interview/selection of advisors/fellows for each college. Then interview/selection of co-advisors/fellows for each college. From there people can start planning and preparing for O-week. People have to be able to do this this semester because not everyone is in Houston for the summer. There’s a lot that needs to be done with the theme over the summer that need to be created/purchased ahead of time. And a lot of other factors.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what theme Weiss is going to have?</p>

<p>Martel: Sub-ZerO week
Duncan: Somewhere Over the RainbO week
Hanszen: El DoradO-Week
Jones: Oh, the Places You’ll GO-Week
Will Rice: 90’s 2.0-Week
Lovett: Pixar StudiO-Week
Baker: Flappers, Jazz, and RadiO-Week
Brown: RodeO-Week
McMurtry: 00-Week (007)
Sid: O-Week Game On</p>

<p>I don’t think Wiess has an o-week theme. If I remember correctly, Wiess never has a theme. It’s one of their traditions or quirks.</p>

<p>Wow, all of these look like such cool ideas.</p>
