The annual Freshman Tailgate, hosted on Friday, Sept. 20, at the top of the parking structure at Santa Ana Stadium, was a big hit. The Freshman Commissioners and Freshman Officers organized the event with fun games, various raffles, and catered Chick-fil-A. Not only did the freshmen have a great time, but the organizers felt fulfilled with their efforts. “The best part [is when] we get to [organize] rallies or plan events,” Freshman President Sophia McKay said.
