UCF's Progressive Council hosted a field day Sunday as the finale of a week of activities aimed at recruitment and awareness. The event, held at Lake Claire, featured food, music, games and water-sports. Members from the clubs that make up the Progressive Council celebrated what co-chair, Matt DeVlieger, called its most successful rush yet.
Radical Rush is held at the beginning of each semester and offers an alternative to Greek life for students who want to get involved on campus. With seven clubs to choose from, including the Body of Animal Rights Campaigners and Campus Peace Action, Progressive Council allows students to work with the group that best serves their interests. Raquel Tortora, co-chair of the Progressive Council and member of BARC sums up the organization. "We all come from different backgrounds, but we come together with one common goal: change," she said.
This semester's theme was Peace is Possible.
"We need students to believe that they can make a difference," DeVlieger said. "Every major social movement has spread from a college campus. Our organization offers students a voice and a chance to change their world." Students who are interested in joining Progressive Council should see the organization's Web site at ProgressiveUCF.org.
