Hall Food Ideas

Every Wednesday on First Hunt, we have hall food. It is a great time for the guys on hall to spend time together and eat, which is all something we love to do. Since this is the first time that many of the parents have provided hall food, here are some ideas for what to bring:

Food/Snacks

- Pizza

- Sandwiches like Jimmy Johns or Subway

- Home cooked meals (spaghetti, hamburgers and hot dogs, etc.)

- Chips and salsa

Desserts

- Ice cream/ Ice cream sundaes

- Brownies 

- Cookies

- Cake (great for around birthdays)

Other

- Fruit/Vegetable trays

- Sandwich bar

There are many ideas for hall food. If you think of something else, it would almost certainly be great. I will email you guys the Sunday before the date you're signed up for. We do have some guys on hall with dietary concerns and eating preferences so I will let you know that in the email as well. If you have any questions or concerns about this, feel free to email me at Riker13K@ncssm.edu. 

Sister Hall Activities

Yesterday was a busy day. Along with our tour of some of the great places in Durham, we had an awesome time getting to know our sister hall, Reynolds 1E2E2D. We played some great games like In My Neighborhood and Squirrel Up a Tree. We also played a great game called Ride that Pony- always a favorite, especially with Mike and the RLAs. Later we had popsicles  and got to just hang out and play games like duck duck goose.

Here are some great pictures from the event.

Hall Programs: Tour of Ninth Street and Broad Street

Yesterday we had some great hall program. As a group, we took a trip down Broad St. and showed all the junior guys on hall some great places to go like Joe Van Gogh's and Dollar General. We then came back on 9th Street which has some great restaurants like Dane's, Bali Hai, and Elmo's, which is where we stopped for an early dinner. It was a great trip!

Important Phone Numbers

Here are some important phone numbers to know. To the guys on hall, it's a great idea to put these in your phone's contacts.

Bryan Front Desk- (919) 416-2825
Hunt SLI Office- (919) 416-2826
Security/Campus Resources- (919) 416-2711

Move In Day!

As you all know, junior move in day was on August 11th. It was a great day and we have a bunch of great new juniors on the hall. Today, August 13th, the seniors on hall that were not already on campus moved in. We now have a full hall of 35 guys! We are all looking forward to a great year! It's going to be awesome!

The Amazing SMath Race!

Every year, there is an event called the amazing SMath Race. It is a scavenger hunt for the juniors loosely based on the show The Amazing Race. For the second year in a row, the 1st Hunt Juniors won, along with the awesome sister hall, Reynolds 1E2E2D! For this, the halls will be receiving either s'mores or ice cream sundaes as a prize. This is just another great accomplishment for 1st Hunt!

RLAs for 2012-2013

Hey everyone,

My name is Seth Templeton and I will have the pleasure of being next year’s First Hunt, Housekeeping, RLA. My home town is Wadesboro, North Carolina, and I currently live in room 116 on 1stH main but I am excited to be moving to Annex 131 next year. As housekeeping RLA I will not only be able to enjoy getting to know the incoming juniors really well and helping them here at NCSSM, but I also have the responsibility of making sure the hall maintains its' legacy of cleanliness and that we have fun connections with our sister hall. I enjoy playing guitar, I play almost every sport but don't claim any of them as "my sport," video games, shows and movies, board and card games, getting to know people and hanging out with friends. I'm so psyched for next year and am looking forward to making next year as good if not better than this year.

See you at SMath!
