Recruitment Drive 2012

Welcome back from the week-long Chinese New Year break, Peacock Nation!

Two weeks back, Fayette House participated in the Recruitment Drive organized by the college. Response was overwhelmingly great and we would like to thank everyone for that! =D You guys gave us more motivation to bring Fayette House to greater heights this year!

Now, let's refresh the event together! =)

Held from 17th to 19th January at the Ground Floor of SEGi College Subang Jaya, the Recruitment Drive of Fayette House was definitely the talk of the college! Over 300 students signed up for our mailing list and we can't wait to get in touch with you! Things got even better when a handful of students also decided to sign up for Fayette House's sub-committee - a group of student helpers when Fayette House needs extra hands during events. Last but not least, many enjoyed the delicious cookie treats given out by Fayette House at the drive!

Freshie Party Summer 2010

Have you ever felt lonely in an environment where everything is a blur and people just flash by, not knowing if they were strangers or your friend? This type of environment is not acceptable in the eyes of Fayette House of Segi College Subang Jaya; therefore a Freshie Party was organized to help the students bear their grounds. The party was held on June 11^th and started at half past eleven. Evidently, the party began with around fifty plus students introducing themselves and getting to know each other. Not only was this necessary for the games played during the day, but this will come in handy throughout their stay in the American Degree Program no matter what their course or major. After the introductions were established, games were organized to test the memory of each student. By far the most popular game was ‘The Blanket Game’ in which all fifty students were separated into two teams by a blanket. A selected person from each team then had to guess who the other team sent out when the blanket drops. After all the fun and games were over, a video of what Fayette House does and who they were was shown right before lunch was served. All in all, the party was a huge success with no tickets left for the extra ten walk-in students! The Freshie’s will never feel lonely again!

Earth Day Campaign 2010

In conjunction with Earth Day on April 22, 2010, Fayette House made April 2010 the Earth Month! The theme this year was to get creative by reducing, reusing and recycle (the 3R's) with the tagline 'Show Mother Nature How Creative You Are'! Thus, Fayette House decorated the 10th floor the Earth Month-style. From the left over cardboard boxes Fayette House had piling up in Fayette House, we cut them into cardboards so that we could write fun environmental messages on them. Next, we had them hung or pasted all over the 10th floor counter for the whole month! Other than the colourful cardboards, we had a huge banner with environmental messages too! But the special thing about the banner was that it was a reused banner! The banner was actually the work of students back in 2008 and we brought it back to show our support in reusing things. Other than that, Fayette House set up a t-shirt painting booth so that students also could be creative and express their appreciation and love for Mother Nature. We hoped that these gestures will help ignite the environmental-friendly self in you! Happy Earth Month!

Like usual, for more photos of the event, look for the photo album, entitled Earth Day Campaign 2010, on our Facebook page.

Earth Day Camp 2010

Group photo of all campers.

In a time when people are too busy to remember the little things in life, we forget that our Earth is indeed sick and we need to spread the awareness. Taking the initiative, Fayette House set up an Earth Day Camp to get the students of Segi College Subang Jaya to feel closer to nature. It was a thrilling event in which the students spent two days and one night in the Chilling Waterfalls in Kuala Kubu Bharu. It was an exciting journey where the students learnt survival skills while having fun in the heavily forested area. The trip started off with a half an hour trek to the waterfall in which we struggled past six streams and many other little obstacles like deep muddy puddles and spiked plants. When we arrived at the waterfall, we played many water games to show how enjoyable the water can be besides in a drink. After spending a productive two hours around the waterfall, the students headed back through the same route and managed to reach the camping site before the sun set. After everybody settled down, food was found in the form of a barbecue and in the spirit of Earth Day, the students had to bring their own metal utensils and plates. The night ended on a positive note with everybody singing around a make-shift campfire made out of candles and a whole lot of spirit. The next day started with a simple breakfast and time was given to the students to enjoy the wonder of their surroundings. For their final act, Fayette House gave every camper two seeds as a symbol that represents the hope of the future: the growth of respect and appreciation towards our Earth begins with each of our individual efforts no matter how large or diminutive.

St. Patrick's Day 2010

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! It is interesting how this Irish celebration is more popularly celebrated by the Americans and that is why Fayette House celebrated the holiday with Fayette House's own twist too! When you think of St. Patrick's Day, you think of green and that was what we had; everyone was encouraged to wear green and those who wore were even rewarded with a promotional price for a beverage that we sold! Speaking of beverage, St. Patrick's Day is usually celebrated with lots of beer but college didn't allow Fayette House to bring in beer so we brought in the root of all beers, the root beer! An informative booth was set up with Fayette House officers in green distributing St. Patrick Day memos and selling root beer to all students and staffs! We hope you enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day this year because we did!

Fayette House Installation March 2010

During the installation ceremony of Fayette House 2010 in December 2009, only ten committee members were installed. After months of seeking for two suitable candidates for the remaining two seats left in the supposedly-twelve committee members student board, the Board came to a final decision to install Sean Mervin and Aaron Daniel to fill up the empty seats. Both the members went through stages of nomination, interview and probation period before they were officially installed as Project Managers for the 2010 board. Congratulations to the newly installed member and all the best to the entire committee!

The launch of ADP Theme 2010 took place at ADP counter with the presence of students and staffs of ADP, besides Pete the Peacock and Fayette House!

UIU Haiti Relief Fund

Fayette House members who were involved in the noble cause.

In support of the "UIU Haiti Relief Fund" in Fayette, Iowa, SEGi Subang Fayette House headed the fundraisers in the Subang campus. Together with Communication Club and AVES of ADP, and Student Council of SEGi College Subang Jaya, money was raised in February to help the earthquake victims of Haiti.

Way before any fund-raising activities took place, Fayette House set up a notice board next to cafeteria at 1st Floor to create awareness among college students on the catastrophe that hit Haiti. Upon getting the permission from the college authority, Fayette House went class to class to collect donations from ADP students, besides offering RM1 to the relief fund for every UIU car sticker sold. The response for both donation collection and car sticker promotion was overwhelming. As for Communication Club, the club conducted a two-day charity car wash! Not forgetting, AVES and Student Council allowed Fayette House to leave donation jars at their Valentine's Day booth.

Guess what?! We raised a total of RM714 for the earthquake victims of Haiti! A big thank you to every contributor!

In conjunction with Chinese New Year, Fayette House members decorated Fayette House at 1st Floor and ADP counter at 10th Floor, two weeks before the celebration. Mandarin oranges were also served to visitors at Fayette House.

Today when college resumed after the students were off for Chinese New Year break, Fayette House celebrated Chinese New Year in college. Pete the Peacock was seen in 10th Floor, giving out 'ang pao' (red packets) to ADP staffs and students. Among the committee members of Fayette House, there was a yee sang session. It was a great celebration and hopefully that would bring a terrific year to everyone in ADP!

Fundraising for Furry Friends Farm 2010

Fayette House members at fund-raising booth.

One of the students of American Degree Program (ADP) was involved with a fund-raising project for Furry Friends Farm, a NGO shelter for abandoned dogs and cats; the shelter is governed by Raleigh International KL. Her team planned to fund-raise through sales in colleges and so she approached Fayette House for support to sell foods and drinks in SEGi College Subang Jaya. In line with Fayette House's objectives to serve the students of ADP in any way possible, Fayette House supported the event.

On 20th and 21st January 2010, team Delta of Furry Friends Farm set up booth at 1st Floor of college. Among the foods on sale were assorted breads and ABC (ice kacang), besides their top-sale item, bubble tea! A few Fayette House members helped out with the sale by pulling in crowds and helping with the making of bubble tea; it was a fun-filled experience! The fund-raiser was worth the effort because at the end of the two-day fund-raiser, the cause was a big success!
