Goal # 5: Build Quad’s Social Capital (FCFCQQQ!)
Before I begin, here’s a little background information. On New Year’s Eve, I made a list of ten goals that I would like to achieve in 2010 (http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=267861269045)
The fifth goal of on my list pertained to developing my eating club’s social capital amongst the larger Princeton community. I have the privilege of serving as one of the Princeton Quadrangle Club’s (Quad) social chairs. What I love about Quad is its diversity – we’re the most diverse eating club at Princeton University in terms of ethnicity and socio-economic background. As social chair, I am mainly responsible for organizing Quad’s weekly dance parties and formals. My general philosophy is that if the party is good, then people will come out to the club, thus Quad’s reputation will improve.
Last night, I think that we (the other Quad officers and I) threw a great party! We had a cover band called “The Nameless Few,” which rocked the house. I think that everyone who attended the party had a good time and enjoyed themselves – goal #5 is underway. It’s definitely a gradual goal, but we’re getting there!
