Question Posted Wednesday October 13 2010, 3:31 pm
I'm going to be a senior next year and every year the seniors do something for initiation for the freshmen. It's really fun and nothing is taken too seriously but we'd like to do something different next year and are already throwing around some ideas. I was wondering if anybody here has some fun ideas to get the freshmen to do in their first weeks at high school?
Please don't list anything that is harmful. We don't want to hurt anybody. We also don't force anybody to participate. It's just for fun and our principal approves of the items at the end of the year.
If you can't think of anything then could you please give comments on the ideas that were suggested here:
Guys dress up like cheerleaders
Guys wear a skirt for 1 day
Girls come with no make-up and unbrushed/unstyled hair
Wear the same clothes for 3 days
Everyone (only freshmen) asks the principal 1 annoying question throughout the day (question will be decided beforehand) like "Are we really in high school?"
Freshmen Olympics during lunch times for a week. (ideas anyone? the posters would be themed like special olympics)
We were told that there was a diagnostic test to see what level we were at in math. We weren't supposed to study, just show up and write.
Fast forward to our test date. We're all piled into classrooms. In each classroom there were older students planted and acting like freshmen. The instructor was really tough on us, telling us about how any hint of cheating would get us kicked out or expelled.
We get our tests, and the first few questions were pretty easy. Then they started getting harder (eventually up to 4th year thermodynamics!) so that there was no way you could answer them. At one point, the instructor threw out one student and ripped up their test, and later on, one girl got up and ran away shouting that she couldn't take it any more (those were the planted seniors).
Eventually, a huge group of seniors came running into the classroom, shouting and ripped up test papers. Then we all went and did activities.
