Orientation is a family affair! ❤

Last week, incoming student Kennedy attended Orientation while her sisters, Chloé (Team Leader) and Madison (Orientation Leader), helped welcome the newest Gamecocks to campus!

We love seeing Gamecock traditions passed from one sibling to the next!! 🐔

Gamecock Orientation June & July - Love meeting all the new Gamecocks!

Free Beat Clemson tees to help start them out right too!

At Orientation, we have a tradition of giving back to the Gamecock community!

One way we do that is by collecting donations for the Gamecock CommUnity Shop to help keep shelves stocked throughout the summer and into the fall semester.

There are two easy ways to donate:

📦 Bring physical donations to Check-In on the day of your Orientation session and hand them to an Orientation Leader in a garnet polo.

🛒 Shop our Amazon Wishlist and have items shipped directly to the Gamecock CommUnity Shop: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/29NQDIFUZEECO?ref_=wl_share

Some of our most-needed items this week include:
• Shelf-stable protein options (canned chicken, canned tuna, etc.)
• Snack foods (chips, popcorn, crackers, etc.)
• Household cleaning supplies (all-purpose cleaners, dish soap, etc.)
• Toiletries (body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other dental hygiene products)

Every donation helps support fellow Gamecocks and makes a meaningful difference in our community! Thank you for helping us give back!!! ❤️🖤

Let’s find out what Asiyah, Justin and Dani are up to. Follow along today as these friends take over our social media for Session 3!
