Walk the Walk and Read the Chalk (by Lexa Johnson)

While walking around the Baylor campus, it is hard not to notice different organizations advertising their meetings or events through a new medium, the sidewalk. Chalking, as it is called, is extremely popular and a convenient way to keep students informed.  Through chalking, different clubs and organizations can announce when their meetings and events are.  The heavy amount of chalking also proves just how many organizations there are on campus.

As a freshman, at first I was worried that Baylor might not have a particular organization that I would be interested in. I quickly learned that is not the case.  During the first weekend on campus there is Late Night at the SLC where almost every organization and club sets up a booth and students can go around and get information from each one and sign up to be on their email list.

It was during Late Night that I discovered that Baylor has a club for everything and anything you can possibly think of.  There is even a hide go seek club! I ended up joining the Pre Physician’s Assistant Society and Freshman Leadership Organization (or FLO) and they are both absolutely amazing.  For FLO we had a retreat this weekend where we went to a local gymnastics gym and just played and hung out all night.  Then the next morning we went and volunteered at Caritas.  It was so amazing to have fun with this new group of people because everyone is so outgoing and goofy as well as getting to serve with them.  Next time you are on campus, be sure to look for the chalking and you will quickly learn just how many great organizations there are on campus.
