Upperclassmen, faculty, staff, and alumni participate with new students in social activities, athletics, and advising sessions. Traditional high points are the Honors Follies and the scavenger hunt. Camp Allen, a retreat center in Navasota, Texas, about 1 hour northwest of downtown Houston, has been the site in recent years. The 2000 retreat will be held at Camp Allen all day Thursday, August 17, and most of Friday, August 18. Friday evening dinner and the pool party will be on campus.
Transportation is provided from campus to Camp Allen and back.
