With the Halloween holiday upon us, the Resident Housing Association (RHA) plans to hold their Halloween Bash on Oct. 29 2014 in the Regina Hall Res. Center.
Beginning at eight and ending at 10:30 p.m., the night is sure to be filled with lots of food, fun, dancing, and costumes.
Any Saint Xavier student is invited to attend, and everyone is encouraged to wear a costume to add to the enjoyment of the evening.
Anna O’Hara, a member of the Activities Committee for RHA, notes that there was a lot of preparation that went into this event.
They had to consider the “decorations, activities, food, and the place, which took forever [to decide on].”
Originally planning to host the event in the Andrew Conference Center, the RHA moved the event to the Regina Hall Res. Center due to conflict with night classes in the building,.
The event is expected to have many people and loud music, which would be of great disturbance to those in the evening classes.
For Michael Sennett, a member of the Decorations Committee for RHA, he was a part of searching for, and choosing, decorations.
He said that he “was in charge of finding the deals on everything for the decorations.”
His job was to “price objects and find the cheapest of everything since the budget wasn’t too high.”
Taking his time looking for these appropriately Halloween themed decorations, he eventually came to his goal, and is prepared to help decorate the Halloween Bash.
Both O’Hara and Sennett believe that there will be a great turn out to this event and are excited to be a part of hosting it.
Sennett expects there to be many freshmen in attendance due to the fact that it is being held in Regina Hall.
As members of the RHA, they will set-up before the event and clean-up after, which also includes interacting with the crowd and making sure everyone is having a good time throughout the event.
All students of SXU, not only residents, are encouraged to come to the Halloween Bash.
Pizza will be served for those in attendance and a DJ will provide music for dancing into the night.
Not only will there be food and dancing, but a costume contest as well, which encourages students to dress up.
Gift cards to Portillo’s and Jimmy John’s are of the prizes to be won.
The RHA members are looking forward to a successful and enjoyable evening with many students in attendance on Wednesday.
If you are looking for a fun Halloween event, the RHA’s Halloween Bash will be the right occasion to dress up and have some fun.
