Browning Hall threw its annual Browning Bash on Tuesday, Sept. 13th at 5:30 p.m. Residents gathered in the Browning/Ellington circle to socialize, play volleyball, toss water balloons, and eat supper for only a dollar (or free with RHA card). “We use this money to buy new things for the dorm,” said 3rd floor R.A., Sabrina Wilson.

Browning staff members also saw the bash as a special opportunity to raise money for the victims of hurricane Katrina. “Normally, we do not use the bash to fundraise for other causes; however, we felt compelled to do something for the victims,” added Wilson.

A dunking booth was set up and R.A.s Travis Barber, Rachael Funston, Jeff Fields, Sabrina Wilson, and Krisheena Jones all took turns in the “wet seat” as did the Assistant Director of Resident Life, Ryan Martin. Residents were charged a minimum of 50 cents for a chance to dunk the staff. Approximately $50 was raised for the cause.

All food was bought with Browning funds and prepared by Browning staff. Browning Hall Director, Jimmy Hubbard is accredited for organizing the 2005 Browning Bash.
