What is an SYR and do I need to find a date?!
SYRs are fun dances that different dorms put on throughout the year. SYR stands for Set-Up Your Roomate because the tradition is to set your roommate or friends up with a date, although you're more than welcome to find one on your own, bring a friend from another dorm, or just go with a big group of Lewis Chicks. SYRs are held at different locations around campus and are always a blast! It's always a good time, no matter who you choose (or choose not) to bring-- just dance and enjoy yourself.
It's a good idea to bring a few fun, semi-formal dresses that you can wear to any SYR or formal you might be invited to. Many SYRs have themes like USA, jungle, or even Demin-Christmas-Luau, so spontaneous trips to GoodWill are sometimes needed to find more fitting attire. The theme of the Lewis SYR in the spring is Decades and many chicks' favorite event of the whole year!
