The semesterly rave/dance hosted primarily by ISA (International Students Association) was a successful and fun event down at the Dolan last weekend! Euphoria used to be in the dining hall, but due to it's high demand and size, it had to be moved to bigger venue.
The first Euphoria this year was actually in October, but it had to be shut down because people were not adhering to the event staff. The Dining Hall hit capacity at about midnight, so we told people that they were not allowed in, they got out of control and for the safety of everyone, we had to shut it down. So, it is primarily from an event managers perspective that I am saying the Euphoria in the Dolan was a success! A lot of work for our Office as well, but when people are happy and something goes well, it's worth it!
What is it about Euphoria though that makes it such a hit with the students? It's kind of funny to me that this is the event that students from all years and multiple groups of friends come out for. Not a sporting event or concert, but a DANCE with techno music and glow sticks! Kind of makes sense since dancing is awesome and one of the universal interests among most college students. But that's all it is! There is no booze, food, or other entertainment offered. I guess sharing a dance with fellow Clarkies and friends is all it takes to make the majority of the campus happy... Sounds good too me!
Good point! It is weird that this dance is such a hit when other dances in the grind that are offered frequently don't always get much of a showing. I think it is all the hype and promotion behind it that makes it seem more special than the other dances and makes people want to go.
