Activity Reports:
You are required to complete four activity reports. In the report you will outline a
Rose activity which you have attended. You may include only one
fraternity/sorority rush activity. If you are a varsity athlete, you may not include
practices. Each activity may only be listed once. That is one per
category. For instance, if you attend 3 volleyball matches, you could only turn this
in as your one sporting or athletic event. Other examples include: club meetings,
drama club production, fine arts presentation, blood drive.
Activity reports are due 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th weeks. They may be turned in prior
to the due dates.
