MemComm officially begins the 2008A application process
By jrldizon
UP Aguman's Membership Committee, headed by Internals Vice-President Acey Duarte has officially began the application process for the 1st semester, AY 2008-2009. The recruitment period and orientation immediately followed after the Acquaintance Party held last July 9, 2008.
Last July 23, the applicants were formally presented to the General Assembly with the batch name Pinanari, the Kapampangan word for 'rainbow'. They chose this name because they believe that coming from different high schools and having different personalities, they are as diverse as the colors of the rainbow, but united under one natural visual spectacle. Also, rainbows are known to appear after the rain. The applicants related this natural process to the challenges and hardships that they are about to face and hopefully conquer during the organization's application process. Some of the members joked that expectedly, this batch of applicants should come with a 'pot of gold'.
Prior to the presentation, the MemComm held a meeting to determine and discuss the batch name and the batch officers.
Batchhead: Bencio
Assistant Batchhead: Diana
Secretary: Carousel
Treasurer: Abi
Last July 30, the Buddy Bidding was held after the weekly GenMeet. The MemComm prepared an intensive slide show presentation of all the members who were available for bidding, to help the apps in choosing the right buddies for them. The buddy-mems were given codenames during the bidding, thus the apps did not know the identities of the personalities they were bidding for. The eventual buddy-pairs are as follows (Buddy-app ~ buddy-mem, bid amount):
Lawrence ~ Mae, P200
Roe Anne ~ Justin, P200
Roween ~ Jowie, P500
Ham ~ Loree, P500
Bryan ~ Trish, P500
Nicole ~ Kenn, P500
Kim ~ Michael, P550
Ann ~ Fergie, P600
Raxiel ~ Kevin, P600
Erika ~ Aries, P650
Abi ~ Gboi, P700
Quill ~ Lea, P700
Bencio ~ Ruth, P700
Migz ~ Elai, P755*
Ruby ~ Carlo, P850
Carousel ~ Anj, P900
Diana ~ Bong, P1000
Jona ~ Jen, P1250
Julyn ~ Feps, P1310
Julyn's bid of P1310 for Felipe set the record for the second highest ever bid for a buddy. The record is still held by Pie (Kaputul 2004A), who bid now alumnus Philbert (Ambula 2000A) for P1600. Their celebrity-themed sigsheet was released last August 1.
Stand by for any announcements of upcoming application activities by the MemComm. The Membership Committee is composed of Elai, Marco, Trish, Jill, Lea, Jann, Paul and of course, Acey.
For the meantime, mark your calendars for the following schedule:
August 6 -- Unity Night
August 12-15 -- Challenge Week
August 18 -- Apps' Do Day
