Okay, so you're finished moving in, now what?

Residence Hall Association (RHA)
You become a member of the Residence Hall Association (RHA) by virtue of living in the residence halls and paying a $25/semester RHA fee. RHA represents residents’ concerns and provides educational, social, and recreational programs. As the liaison between residents and the administration, RHA promotes positive changes in residence hall policies. RHA is well known for its “Welcome Back” fall socials, philanthropic projects, spring honors and awards banquet, and the annual “RHA Week” held in January. RHA is part of the regional Southwest Affiliation of College and University Residence Halls (SWACURH) and has membership in the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH), which annually selects residence hall students who have achieved high academic standing and have contributed significantly to the residence hall and university community. Students also have the opportunity to attend local, state, regional, and national conferences to promote the university living experience.

Hall Governments
Each hall is a self-governing unit within RHA and has officers elected according to the respective residence hall constitutions. Officer elections are held on a hall-wide basis. All of these positions provide the opportunity for students to serve in a leadership capacity in the hall, act as liaisons between students and the Office of Housing & Dining Services, and develop hall programs. Interested students should contact their Resident Assistant or Residence Director early in the fall semester to get involved.

National Residence Hall Honorary
The NRHH is the recognition branch of NACURH. NACURH, as an organization, which truly believes that recognition is a must in a strong Residence Hall community. As such, NRHH is there to make sure that we don't forget to give those needed and more than deserved pats on the back. The basic way NRHH works on campus is through a chapter. NRHH chapters have a very special way of recognizing those top leaders, by membership. The NRHH chapter membership (per school) is restricted to 1% of students living in the residence halls. So, once inducted into NRHH you can consider yourself a member of the Top 1% of residence hall leaders. The NRHH national level consist of the national office. The National Office is responsible for affiliating NRHH chapters, selecting national OTM (Of the Months), designing the apparel line (T-shirts, Sweatshirts, and pins, oh my) and a host of other tasks.
