And welcome to this, our second-annual WesFest issue. A lot of us here at the Argus didn’t go to WesFest, and if we did, it feels like ages ago. We probably have no business, then, telling you what to do and not to do this weekend, but we’re going to try. We’ve been around for WesFest as students, we’ve seen the special improv shows, the pre-frosh sleeping on Foss Hill, the massive lines at Mocon, the massive tours and so on. It’s overwhelming. It’s Wesleyan.
We’ve put together a special section of the Argus just for you guys, the pre-frosh, pre-frosh parents, and assorted posse who have come to our campus this weekend to make life hectic and wonderful for a few days. We want to help you figure things out a little easier, to get the info you won’t get from your guidebook or your host who has a 20-page research paper due on Monday and hasn’t been to Olin yet.
The articles here focus on various aspects of life at Wesleyan, from the most intense and most inclusive sport on campus to the religious communities some people don’t even know exist. You’re not old enough yet, but eventually you’ll be glad for the inside info on the Wednesday night bar scene. And if you’re not intrigued by a group of people who spin fire, maybe you’re not ready for college yet after all.
If you’re reading this alone at a table at Mocon right now, for God’s sake put down the paper and meet some people. If not, though, read on, and learn about the parts of Wesleyan you might not get to see in a weekend spent sleeping on a dorm room floor. See you in August!
