The prefrosh is a marvelous organism: a curious and inquisitive specimen, it arrives yearly on College Hill to inspect the Brown campus and scope out an adequate four-year habitat.  This humanoid species finds a temporary home in dorm rooms across campus while it performs its 24 hour search.  Fear not, crocodile hunters, for it is perfectly harmless; interact with this species and show it the wonders that embody this university, for only after it experiences a phenomenal day at Brown will it be convinced to resettle in the fall.  Avoid placing in direct contact with rabid canines and vicious tigers.

Welcome to Brown, future class of 2014!

Believe it or not, ADOCH — that glorious sun rain-soaked two days where hundreds of prefrosh come to campus and we all go out of our way to impress them with how mature and collegiate and happy we are — is just around the corner. Well, it’s in about a month. But before you know it, the class of 2014 (!!!) will be descending upon College Hill, and your friendly ADOCH housing coordinators have informed Blog Daily Herald that they’re still looking for folks to host a prospie or two on the night of April 15. The form’s accessible here, and everyone, including upperclassmen, is welcome to host. Get on it.
