Collegians Rock the House

The Collegiate House Party, Thursday night in Indianapolis, provided college students the opportunity to check out a new venue and mingle with other agriculture students.
The house party took place in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Headquarters at 8 p.m. and lasted until midnight. Collegiate members were greeted outside the doors by two smiling FFA alumni passing out free raffle tickets. The tickets provided the opportunity to win an iPod or one of two ITunes gift certificates once inside the party.

Just inside the doors representatives passed out gift bags with informational materials and promotional gifts. This was followed by free food and drinks for everyone in attendance.

Great music bellowed through the halls of the NCAA and college students from all over the country danced, laughed, spent time with friends, and met new people.

“It is strange to see everyone in official dress and not be with them,” said Lakeland College Freshman Kate Lansaw. “But there is more freedom as a collegiate, and we get to come to things like this!”

Aside from socializing and dancing, collegians also had access to an assortment of video games including Guitar Hero. Sony Play Station’s and Nintendo Wii’s were available for the students at the far end of the hall.

More collegiate-only events are scheduled throughout the rest of the convention. For more information on these great programs please visit the collegiate area of www.ffa.com or any convention information booth.
