Started with an idea of making makrab, this inauguration event then was decided. Yes, it is an inauguration for the new executive board (EB) and members of AMSA-Undip 2014. The new members were assigned to be the committee for the “fun side” of the event, while the main part of the event was taken care by new EB and AB of AMSA-Undip. Why were new members assigned? To make them know their own friends, to make a solid team, to introduce them to the seniors, and as an orientation of how busy AMSA can be.
ACACIA FESTIVA started with welcome speech from the chief of committee and representative of AMSA-Undip , then followed by introduction of all new members. After break time for shalat and snack, ice breaking games: AMSA World Record which consisted of two games had been ready. First game was named “singing phrase” which needed seven people. One of them had to guess who was drawn by other players. Then the second game had Garda to carry Peachy—the new General Secretary of AMSA-Undip—on his back. It succeeded making us tired because of laughing.
The real game was just about to begin, “Run, AMSA, Run”. Can you guess? Yes, it was just like Running Man. All participants were divided into 6 groups with the final task was to find mineral water bottles with a letter written on each of it. The winner was the group who made it to arrange “ACACIA FESTIVA” from the bottles. What made it crazy was the participants were allowed to steal bottles from others. A really brutal fight was happened. Really happened. Much of blood was shed that night, on FK UNDIP campus.
A decade had past (hyperbole, of course), finally the game ended. Everyone didn’t care anymore who won because they were tired, even too tired to eat the dinner given by the committee. After catching breath and having dinner, serious part of the event started. The new EB was inaugurated by Ex-Representative, Sarah (2011) as AB, while the new staff and member by new Representative, Rio (2012). See the World in Perfect Harmony, the official song of AMSA also sung after the ceremony done. ACACIA FESTIVA then ended with a video and some confetti by new members.
It was a great night, brutal yet amazing! Lots of thanks to Jonathan Jose (2013) as Chief Committee of ACACIA FESTIVA 🙂
Welcome batch 2013 to AMSA! AMSA-Undip loves you! 🙂
