Freshmen awkwardly looking for someone to sit with were replaced by freshmen awkwardly looking for dance partners, groups of freshmen girls dancing in protective entryway clusters, and overly enthusiastic males attempting to infiltrate these clusters. In front of the dancers were scattered Crimson Key Society members, recognizable...
