Holiday/OP Comms 09/10 Update

Dear alumni,

Flag & Rag 09/10 is less than 50 days away and our Flaggers and Raggers have been hard at work throughout the holidays raising funds and creating something out of recycled materials. Here is the NUSSU synopsis for the upcoming RAG:

Freshmen Orientation Central Committee Rag & Flag 2009

Exploding Colours, Exuberating Zest

Exploding Colours

‘Colours’ symbolise the diversity of the NUS population. Just as the many colours one can think of, there are many students of different backgrounds – be it their ethnicity, nationality or even their upbringing. One can see the rainbow consists of a myriad of colours, much akin to the diversified NUS student population. We may be different in many ways, but we weather the hardship and challenges together as one NUS, to finally produce that rainbow for all to see – the display of the floats, a testimony of accomplishment.

To explode is to burst forth and hence ‘Exploding Colours’ conveys the message of uncontrolled enthusiasm and vibrancy brought forth by the diversity of the NUS community that we will witness at the 51st Rag & Flag!

Exuberating Zest

On the 2 historic dates of Flag (4th Aug 09) and Rag (8th Aug 09), we witness the uninhibited zest within each and every NUS student. The effusive passion and spirit will be evident during Flag when throngs of NUS students do their part in the fund raising effort for all of our beneficiaries. The abounding gusto will be on display during Rag, as each Faculty and Hall takes their turn at impressing the audience by showcasing their carefully constructed floats with pride.

There is a first for everything, so for the fifty-first Rag & Flag come August 2009, witness the exploding colours, exuberating zest!

Are you already wondering what our Raggers are planning for? We sure are! This is an appeal going out to all alumni to help out in Rag Rush when time permits. Of course we don't mean the entire stay-up-through-the-night kind of Rag Rush, but if you are in hall visiting or for some reason or another, do pop by the Rag area and give the Raggers a cheer or help cut some squares for ten minutes or so. Similarly, give the Flaggers and other OP-commers (FWOCers and Tech Support crew) a hearty pat on their backs when you see them around! It's the thought that counts and that's the best form of support we can give them!

Also, all are invited to the annual S.W.O.C. We are never too old to play! Details as follows:

Date: 4-5th July
Venue: KR Hall + SRC
