School has been in session now for close to a month and things seem to be pretty similar as they were the last four years. The biggest difference so far is all the construction that is going on around campus. The new student center should be done soon, which will be a great asset to the Saint Leo community. Since I have been back my brothers and I have started playing softball in the school's intramural league. Some of the other things I have been involved with were orientation with the new freshmen class and I give tours to potential new students in the club Green and Gold Key.

It is Halloween week here at Saint Leo and the campus is getting ready. There are various events that occur at this time of the year here. One of the biggest is the trips the school provides to both Halloween Horror Nites at Universal Studios, and Hallowscream at Busch Gardens. Both of these events only cost five dollars to attend. Another big thing is the hall decorating contest. In the freshmen residence halls they have a competition to see which floor can decorate the best. The winning floor gets a free dinner at Applebees this year.

On a different note, some organizations give back to the community this time of the year. Tau Kappa Epsilon, my fraternity, hosts a Halloween party for foster kids. We have face painting, a costume contest and they even wrap up some of the brothers in toilet paper to make them into mummies. And we can't forget the Halloween parties. Gamma Upsilon, a sorority on campus, is having their second annual "Original Sin" party and Tau Kappa Epsilon is having a Trick-or-TKE Halloween party.

It’s the start of my last semester and things are in full swing. It was great to see all my friends and TKE brothers again. But things just seemed to happen right away. I still didn’t have my internship set up. A lot of the places that I applied were not currently taking any interns, so I was beginning to get frustrated. Thankfully things did work out and I was able to get my internship here on the Saint Leo University campus, in the Human Resources Department. This works out good because I can save gas money and a possible job once I graduate. The other big thing going on now is Fraternity Recruitment. Since I am the current Recruitment Chair I have a whole week of activites and late nights ahead of me. There is a whole week of events that have been planned out for each fraternity; these include interactive activities like a video game night, brag tables, and preference parties. At the end of the week my fraternity votes on how many bids we are going to hand out. We handed out a total of seven bids and all seven accepted, so TKE has a pledge class of seven people.
