鈥淭hese annual parties showcase the enthusiasm of Bulldogs everywhere who are welcoming incoming students to our great university,鈥 said Casey McGee, a 2015 communication graduate and the association鈥檚 assistant coordinator for chapter and recruitment programs.
McGee fondly recalls her freshman send-off party hosted by the Oktibbeha County chapter in 2011. 鈥淭he send-off experience is a point in time where fellow students are drawn into the maroon-and-white fold where they will hopefully remain throughout their lives,鈥 she said.
