Bearcat Post: Reggaeton Fest 2

There is a fine line between getting involved easily and not getting involved easily in college, once you´re into getting involved it becomes easy to be interested in the events that go around. In addition to learning what the events have to offer culturally, you get a chance to meet new people which makes your college experience that much more exciting.
The highly anticipated Reggaeton Fest that had been promoted  and organized by LA UNIDAD LATINA, LAMBDA UPSILON LAMBDA, Fraternity,inc. WBMB THE Biz and Undergraduate Student Government was a huge success.  For weeks during club hours, people from all these organizations went around with flyers and a word to promote this Latino heritage party. It was held at the Multipurpose room on the ground floor of the Vertical Campus Building.The night kicked of with great food and socializing. To add to that was traditional reggae and latino  music and dancing. A great insight to the Latino heritage. The night ended with an opportunity to witness a probate (initiation into a sorority) .Probates in general is a “coming out” or crossing out into the pledges. Through the rain  and the 30 degree weather, the two pledges did their steps and stop surrounded by other sororities and fraternities in support of making it to the end of the pledging.
Overall being a freshman, my experience in a diverse college such as Baruch  broadens my outlook toward globalization or how the world is made of multiple cultures. The night was a memorable one and one that taught me a little about a culture that I might have not attempted to know otherwise.  It also taught me how strong of a brotherhood and sisterhood the fraternities and sororities respectively are.
A good, eventful and knowledgable night.
