The first thing we did last time was get into groups and brainstorm mission statements for different aspects of HSU. My particular group thought of one for the alumni. We used the 6 C's in chapter 5 of our Managing Teams book. We decided to send out smaller, more frequent news letters with opportunity for involvement listed in them. We also thought it'd be beneficial to have alumni speak in chapel and also get involved in NSO to help new students "learn the ropes." We thought it was important to emphasize the fact that the alumni have the opportunity to create a legacy for themselves. So our statement was "Hsu would like to invite the alumni to contribute not only financially, but also with their time in building relationships with current students, in order to leave a legacy and to further the kingdom of Jesus Christ."

Next we played 4 square and kickball. The explanation of the games was pretty confusing but since I had played before it wasn't a big deal. We played as individuals initially and then with partners. I thought with a partner it was more fun, but individually I performed better. Next we played kickball. It was a little crowded in the gym but other than that (and not having real bases) it was fun. Until was partnered up... Then it became more difficult! Don't get me wrong it was fun just more challenging to run, while holding hands, while dodging other people.

Next we got into different groups and had to come up with a music video to "kung foo fighting." This was pretty fun because it's such a silly song. The form, storm, norm and perform stages were pretty clear in our group. We first got together all excited about our different ideas (Form), but after a little while we were all having ideas but no way to learn them or put the moves to the song (Storm). But then we came together and figured out more and more what we would do for our final project (Norm). I felt like we stayed in this stage the longest and then at the end we put everything together and most of us understood our different parts (Perform). At one point we did start clowning around and had to regroup but other than that I think we worked together well.
