The RHA Building Community Battles took place on August 30th of 2015. This event was sponsored by the Residence Hall Association. This four hour event brought on stellar competition. Residents from both Housing two and Housing three buildings would compete against each other in various activities. The intensity would increase from one activity to the next. Everyone was giving their absolute all in every activity that they participated in.
Before all the action took place there was preparation to be done. After getting dressed in the color assigned to their building, each team created a poster with a slogan to represent their building. This was a great way for students to bond with one another.
One of the activities during this event was a watermelon eating contest. Students sunk their teeth into the watermelon so quickly that it would lead anyone to believe that there was a recent food shortage. People watched teammates eat as their hands were behind their backs. Participants pulled through and devoured the watermelon after being supported and motivated by their team.
Another exciting activity was the inflatable obstacle course. This course was made for students who were up for a challenge. Each team selected one member that would race against another person from the other team. The participant would first climb up the steep entrance of the inflatable obstacle course and then deal with the rest of the course. It turned out to be a great competition.
Hence, the RHA Building Community Battles provided students with a place where they could push their limits and compete. These battles brought each building closer together. It was four hours of fun and excitement.
