How the hell is it minimizing chaos by making everyone come get a voucher, and then come back by to pick up the coozie?
We have seen in the past that people just get koozies and leave. Also we have noticed if there isnt a system in place to effeciently distribute things aka parking passes, then people go crazy, push, shove, and have had injuries. In the past we have just thrown out the koozies or t-shirts to people and have had serious issues with people getting out hand. It's not NC State trying to fix anything, it's just a saftey precaution. It's not an ideal situation, but I hope all of you guys understand why these measures have to be in place. A few people ruin things like this for all of us. Sorry for the inconvience, but I also assumed that everyone would be staying the entire time too.
It's almost time for the big day. We are so close to football season we can almost taste it? Are you ready?!? We are going as scheduled tomorrow night 7:00pm sharp. Be ready to get loud and stay loud. Let's give Coach O'Brien and his men a taste of what to expect at Carter-Finley Thursday Night. A final few reminders:
1. There will be 400 Koozies Vouchers given out to the first 400 People who stop by the STAT Tent. Only people with Vouchers can get a Koozie at the end of the night. Anyone who is caught cutting or pushing and shoving in line will be handled by Campus Police [We don't want people getting hurt.]
2. We will not begin handing out Koozie Vouchers until 6:45. You can wait in line or start lining up before then but no one will get a voucher until 6:45.
3. We are ending with Alma Mater check the facebook site for a link to the lyrics. Learn the words!!
4. Student Government is assisting AASAP with Loyalty Points. Stop by their tent any time during the Pep Rally to get your ID Scanned. No Need to all go before or after, just stop by through out the Night.
5. Campus Rec will be having NFL type passing contests, there will food for STAT Members, people who purchase class rings before the pep rally can also get food, and Campus Rec will be hosting a corn hole tournament that will be going on from 5:45 till 6:45 at Harris Field before the Pep Rally.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT IN MAKING THIS THE BIGGEST PEP RALLY THE NC STATE HAS HAD IN RECENT MEMORY! GO PACK!
in this economy getting anything is tough, our sponsors are all limiting our funds which means we can't do as much as we want to. Our intial goal was T-shirts but they pulled funding so we had to scramble to get something. sorry we can't please everyone
