It's about giving them even more ownership of what they do. At Hampton House, there's always an opportunity for somebody to lead and for someone to follow, and those roles switch all the time. Sometimes I view Hampton House as being outside of the box, compared to Butler as being in the box. You're still on campus, but at the same time you're in a different realm, in terms of thinking. My parents used volunteering as a way for me to find out about things that I was interested in.
Students know they can change the world.
At a Monday night Hampton House meeting, talk turned to banners. A memo had arrived, requesting Greek houses and residence halls to prepare them for an upcoming football game. The lowly banner, however, cuts to the heart of a controversy. The members of Hampton House struggle with how they're seen-by the University and themselves. No one volunteers, and the banner idea dies a quick death.
