Almost Done

Today, The Guardians of B230 hosted the first segment of their Service Learning Project. Some members stayed the whole 3 hours, while the others could only stay for parts of the time because of classes. We collected about 8 phones today for the YWCA to give to abused women. We probably had about 5 people tell us they would be back tomorrow so that they could give their phone. Overall, I would expect that we get between 15 to 20 phones total. I think that is a pretty reasonable number, not too many and not too few.
We also experienced an unexpected form of communication while we were sitting at the table. Straight ahead of us, outside, we witnessed action of the Zombie game some people on campus are playing. I had not heard much about the game until today, and I still don't exactly understand the whole concept. Either way, it was obvious that the "Humans" were bonding as well as the "Zombies". I don't know if all of these people already knew each other or not, but if they didn't it is a great example of how a group can be formed using the Symbolic Convergence Theory. Each group (Humans and Zombies) used what they had in common to shape the identity of their newly-formed group.
