December 13th, 2011

Hey Everyone!

This Semester we’ve have a great time partying with you all at the Society’s TGIF Events ! For those of you that don’t know, the society has weekly events every Friday in our local ‘The Stables Club’ which is on the University’s Campus.

Week 0 showcased our first event with Speed Dating/Meet ‘n’ Greet – a great time to meet the committee and new & old members, !

Week 1 We had our Country Colours Ball , where everyone represented their country with their clothes many face paints!

Week 2 Was Sports Star night and we had a few dedicated members who dressed up for the occasion :)

Week 3 we decided to continue the Arthur Guinness Celebrations to the 23rd September too! [ the orginal day was the 23rd anyways..... ;) ]

Week 4 We celebrated the King of Pop – Michael Jackson and had an EPIC dance off –

Week 5 we had our Reggaeton night (which I sadly missed!)

Week 7 We had our Traffic Light Party , where a few of us went around handing out stickers, depending on your relationship status: Green is you were single, yellow if you were unsure and red if you were in a relationship…..some people were confused as to what they were though!
Week 8 We had our Annual Halloween Ball, which was one of our highlights of the Semester. The stables was transformed into a scary scary place that night we soooo many costumes roaming about!!

Week 9 we had a very very special guest DJ ‘Brendan McCarthy’ for our Hillbilly night! We had a lasso challenge and a bow ‘n’ arrow challenge for our members and many many plaid shirts :D

Week 10 We showed off our dancing skills at our Bollywood night!

Week 11 We raised an AMAZING €150 in aid of Milford Hospice at our Table Quiz, First place went to Ministry of Pints, Second to B-Sharp and third place to Quiz in my Pants. We also had a Special Guest DJ our very own Marco Peters who was brilliant on the night.

Thanks again to everyone that took part it’s much appreciated :)

Week 12 We had our Christmas Party ( maybe a bit early but meh spread the christmas spirit I say! ) We had Santa come in, asking people what they wanted for Christmas and checking if members had been naughty or nice this semester!! He was also giving away loads of presents and candy canes galore!! !!

Autumn 2011 Shenaginans

September 18th, 2011

Here’s a brief round-up of what will be happening at the International Society this semester.

INTERNATIONAL Society’s committee are feverishly working on plans to make this semester another great one for our members. Membership costs just €3, which will allow you to take advantage of International Soc’s packed calendar of events, trips and weekly activities.

Events such as Bollywood Night and the Country Colours Ball promise to be highlights of this semester. Our Events Officer is committed to making sure that International Night every Friday in The Stables continues to earn its already growing status as a legendary fixture on campus.

With an excellent choice of both day and weekend trips International Soc gives UL students the opportunity to have unforgettable experiences. We promise to make sure that you will have to pay as little as possible for these trips, so that you get to see and do as much as you can while in Ireland.

This society also offers some terrific weekly activities. You can engage in some mental stimulation (not that much, don’t worry!) with Book Club, give something back to the local community with Study Club, or get fed with Mentor Dinners.

Incoming International Soc President Amanda Keane stresses that the society welcomes everyone; Erasmus, Study Abroad, as well as Irish. We don’t have a requirement for how international our members have to be, so wherever you’re from or whatever you study just show up and demand to be shown a good time!
