Surrounded by a sea of red and white, new and returning students received help from a large collection of Wolfpack Movers, made up from members of several student organizations to assist with campus move-in to university housing on Saturday.

Greek Life was one of the largest organizations represented, sporting a ‘Go Greek’ t-shirt.  According to Alpha Delta Pi member Madison Bissette her reasons for getting involved with move-in were to help with recruitment as well as provide a service for the community.

“We just moved someone in and it only took one trip to move her in,” Bissette, sophomore in biology, said. “If we help out a lot, it will help with recruitment — some girls who wouldn’t rush might because of our efforts.”

Jesse Lyons, a representative from Kappa Alpha Order fraternity headquarters also helped move students into their new dorms.

“KA is returning to campus for the first time in six years,” Lyons said. “We are trying to reach new, incoming freshmen as well as helping represent Greek Life. The stress is really off the parents and the students since we have so many people helping out.”

Besides Greek Life, organizations such as Campus Crusade, Club Rugby, Crew Club, Grace Church and Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship helped students and their parents move in.

Crew coach Will White, senior in physiology, said he was eager to help spread the word about crew during move-in.

“It a great way to meet freshman — a lot of kids don’t know that we have a crew team,” White said. “We have several people helping with boxes and walking around the dorms handing out flyers and talking to kids about crew.”

According to White, several organizations were not given the opportunity to set up information booths during orientation sessions and are using Saturday to recruit.

Reformed University Fellowship students also were a part of Wolfpack Movers. They weren’t around to recruit but rather to benefit incoming students.

“We just wanted to be of service to the campus,” Gerald Kimahi, senior in electrical engineering, said. “I thoroughly enjoy it and it’s a good workout too.”

Throughout Saturday the pace of incoming students remained steady, according to Josh Rauschet, a member of Grace Church.

“It seems like it’s been a lot smother,” Rauschet said, a recent graduate. “It helped having Friday move-in.”

Since many students opted to take advantage of Friday’s move-in hours, several Wolfpack Movers found themselves waiting for more students to arrive.

“I feel like there are more people helping move in than people moving in,” Kristina Maine, member of Pi Beta Phi sorority and sophomore in First Year College, said.
