Student Orientation Guides (SOG)
The Student Orientation Guides are a large group of over 70
sophomore, junior, and senior students who volunteer to coordinate,
organize and lead activities during Welcome Week. Students selected
for the Orientation staff participate in training and learn to
facilitate group discussion, answer questions and generally act as
guides to Butler's newest students in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
Each of these SOGs will be leading one of several Orientation
Groups through Welcome Week, helping the new students to become
well acclimated to Butler's campus as well as college academics and
the Butler community.
After Welcome Week is over and the new students are well into
their first year of college, the guides' connection with their
groups is not over. Many of the guides keep in contact with
their group, often having a reunion later on in the semester to
meet up and see how the first semester is going. Often times, this
connection lasts for years to come.
After completing, First-Year Student Orientation, Remix or
January Transfer Orientation, opportunities are available to apply
for a position on the Student Orientation Guide Team. To be
considered, a student must:
- maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA
- show leadership experience and campus involvement
(preferred)
Guides are selected in February.
