Freshmen anticipate celebrating their first Green Key
By Zan Song | May 16, 2013Courtesy of Rauner Special Collections Rumors of outdoor activities and heavy day-drinking have swirled among freshmen, and many said they look forward to their first Green Key weekends, though they added they were unsure about the weekend's purpose. "Honestly, I'm most looking forward to finding out what the heck it is," Kathryn Waychoff '16 said. The only information she has received from upperclassmen was that events during the weekend would likely feature alcohol. "One guy said, I can't do anything Thursday because I will already be really drunk,'" Waychoff said. Pawan Dhakal '16 said he had heard of Green Key but knew little of the event's length or activities. "Is it like a family visitation weekend?" he asked. Latrell Williams '16 said that upperclassmen have never explained its purpose, though other freshmen have told him that there are many outdoor events. Waychoff's roommate asked her father, an alumnus, about the weekend's events, but these inquiries have proved mostly futile. "He only said that there were lots of fun events," Waychoff said.
