The Garnet and Gold Glitter Guys show Florida State’s newest students how to express their school spirit.
Molly Barron joins in on the afternoon’s fun, which includes the FSU Flying High Circus, the Marching Chiefs and Indak Dance Troupe as well as a flash mob performed by the FSU Orientation Leaders.
Students filled the Alumni Center Grand Ballroom on Monday, Sept. 19 to learn about the more than 20 campus organizations represented at the SAA Involvement Fair.
SAA members played for their chance to win prizes from electronics to an on-the-field experience with Renegade and Osceola during the group’s annual Bingo Night on Tuesday, Oct. 18.
On Sunday, Oct. 23, over 30 student teams competed for gridiron glory at SAA’s Homecoming Flag Football Tournament, which kicks off each year’s Homecoming celebration.
SAA challenged FSU’s students to donate more clothes than their peers at the University of Florida during their fall community service project, Operation Cover-Up Tallahassee. The organization collected almost two tons of new and gently-used clothing, which were donated to area nonprofits.
The Student Alumni Association, or SAA as its known to its 2,750 members, provides opportunities for today’s Seminoles to get involved on campus and interact with each other in a positive environment. SAA sponsors a variety of events throughout the year while grooming tomorrow’s leaders through opportunities like the Leadership Council.
