Checking in with the department of Residence Life & First Year Experience about their O-Week plans, the Kumquat learned that Chapman is sending out mandatory waivers and NDAs to all incoming freshmen, specifically for the coveted Playfair event. 

“Things are going to be epic,” said OL Jackson Jackson. “A little too epic? I don’t know, maybe. We’ve replaced rock-paper-scissors with fire stunts, maybe bullfighting if we have the means.” As the freshmen gear up for their first week at Chapman, RLFYE expresses that they want to make their welcome a memorable one, with fun, classic college surprises, like flying sharks. We asked incoming freshmen Rachel Othon about how pumped she is for Playfair. Othon shared, “They asked me to bring bubble wrap, a jock strap, and a full suit of armor? They even suggested hiring a bodyguard if we feel the need. Genuinely, what is going to happen?”
