Initiates Week

Paddle decorating has been a tradition that Block and Bridle has done for a multitude of years. This year we carried on the tradition with paint, glitter, and markers. There was an array of ideas and creativity of each initiate’s paddle in the making. Twenty-five initiates enjoyed getting to know one another and learning more about what the club has to offer. When we weren’t decorating paddles, breaks were taken to indulge in snacks while listening to some good music. The next evening was our game night. We played Jenga and figured out how to use a wobbly table to our advantage while challenging ourselves. Another game played was Speak Out. Lots of laughs were shared between members and some fun memories were made. This year our Initiates Week was held in the Animal Science Complex, with Ambassador, Fina Choat, and Marshall, Hannah Lowe, putting together all the activities. Once members have their paddles completely decorated, they are required to get 5-10 Animal Science faculty and staff signatures.
