Coffee House!!! and Other Happenings :)

Last night was First-Year Coffee House. Three of our first-year ISA/MuKappa members performed.

Joseph wowed the crowd with his magic tricks!!

Andy sung a Chinese love song:

And Nate (on the right) played his guitar (August Rush-style, of course!)

Special thanks to Kyel McGrath for encouraging these guys to audition; they made ISA proud!!

The Opportunities Fair is this afternoon from 2:30 - 5. ISA/MuKappa will have a table! We're hoping to recruit many new members and get student input on what they'd like to see happen this semester!

Rafiki Party

Messiah College had a block party tongith. Rafiki House was one of the stops:

And though these pictures don't show it (becuase I was too busy participating to take any ;)), much more fun ensued including, henna tatoos and a live Regge band (at the Union), ping pong and tea drinking, followed by some Hindi, Latino and (yes! even,) some hip hop music and dancing.

Congratulations ISA/MuKappa new students on completing International Student Orientation! As the charge said last night, we are all committed to pray for, encourage, and love you!

But we had just dropped out "babies" off at their peer groups after the candlelight service so we were really sad:

Apparently Meredith wasn't so sad......

Louisa has been the "mother" to all the new students this week. So, Nate bought her a t-shirt :)....

Which everyone signed in their respective languages!!:

WA!

This is a crazy game they taught us called "Wa": it's kind of like Rock-Paper-Scissors:

Target can be tiring and stressful...in the words of one of them (I forget which!) "It's like it's own city."....

Orientation Day 2 (Part 4)

Nate wore his outfit to the soccer game after....I'm not too sure how the fans felt about that....

And we rounded out the evening with Gestures and five-guys-on-a-couch at the Rafiki House!!!

ISA/MuKappa first year students & orientation volunteers & staff 2009:

Orientation Day 2 (Part 3)

Jacinth's dress was from Turkey and it was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!!


Min's dress was pretty fantastic as well:

And Nate Marlowe's outfit from Cairo:

Well, you see, Tim didn't dress up, so he stole Nate's headband thingy and Carlo's Mexican flag so that he wouldn't feel left out:
