What to bring

General

Gathered from http://members.tripod.com/ctymembers/comments_frm.htm

• Flashlight (forbidden at LAN, CAR, and SAR, although people bring them anyway)
• Duct tape
• Glowsticks
• Deck of cards and Poker chips (kind of forbidden at CAR, but nobody enforces it)
• Camera(s)
• Snacks (no peanuts at LAN!)
• Permanent marker (for tee-shirt signing the last day)
• Poster(s)
  • And post-its telling people not to make out with it if it features a hot guy (such as Johnny Depp)
• iPod and speakers
• Water bottle
• Rubik's Cube
• Clothes to lend for cross-dress days
• Boxers for BLT
• Black Lanyard

A note from a friendly staffer: If you have somehow managed to acquire a staff lanyard, congrats on your mad skills of lanyard steal-age, but leave it at home! There is a significant chance that if a staffer sees it, they will confiscate it.

Lancaster

• Snacks cannot contain peanuts; they cannot even have been made in a factory that also processes peanuts or makes peanut products
• Bathrobe
• Extra Towels
• Halloween costume
• Umbrella (but only if it pops out when you push the button.)
• Frisbees
• Old lanyards
• Ramen -- BEWARE: Cup Noodle has PEANUTS!!!
• --> Ramen? Who needs ramen? You HAVE to go for BOWL APPETIT, especially Three Cheese Rotini. Immediately upon arrival, locate your nearest microwave!! Also, Simply Thai coconut noodles are good. Try to bring a variety of microwavable foods, with mugs and utensils and stuff, or prepare to lift some from the dining hall. (Just a thoughtful note from a Schnader basement Latinite)

Siena

• Fairy wings
• Feather boas
• Tie dye
• White clothes to tie dye
• Boys at Siena: make sure you bring a fan. Ryan Hall is: 1) cramped and 2) non air conditioned and it can get pretty hot in New York. Girls at Siena should also bring fans and give them to the boys, some of whom are certain to have forgotten to bring one. Same goes for Skidmore and LMU. In fact you'll be worshipped by guys in LMU if you lend them fans for their rooms.

Carlisle

• Boys at Carlisle, bring energy drinks. Soon they'll prohibit buying them at the Devil's Den due to Chris White's hall in Session 1 of '05 and Matt's hall in Session 1 '06 and Ian's hall in Session 2 '06 (not really, but yea). We found our ways around the rules. Especially right after check in at 10. STOP DRINKING ENERGY DRINKS RIGHT BEFORE BED!!!
• Sidewalk chalk
• Assorted crap for various theme-day or dance costumes

LMU

• Sunblock
• Sunglasses
• Extra bathing suits
• Flip flops that don't break easily
• Peanuts (for the squirrels)
• COSTUMES!!
• Polo shirt
• Bikini bathing suit (not just one pieces)
• Extra towels
• Some sort of casino outfit
• A fan. You might be in Huesman or Doheny where it's unbearably hot. Whelan & Rosecrans are better, and Desmond is by far the best.

Saratoga Springs

• Masking tape
• Insect Repellent
• Fans, especially wilmarth
• Extra towels/bathrobe
• Old clothes
• Hats
• Chalk
• Extra Frisbees (the ones they sell in the store break in two seconds)
• Sharpies
• Energy drinks (Red Bull, No Fear, Monster, etc.)
• Catholic school girlish clothes
