Identifying Residence Hall Hosts is not easy and takes time and effort.  There are no ready-made lists of students wanting to be hosts.  You have to find them.  Here are some suggestions for finding hosts:

1. Who in your organization lives in the residence halls and can be a host?
2. Have members of your organization contact friends that they know in the residence halls, to ask if they would be willing to be a host.
3. Contact RHA (Residence Hall Association) to request getting listed on their next General Assembly Meeting Agenda, to make an announcement about your event and need for hosts in the residence halls. In attendance at this meeting are representatives and Presidents from every on-campu residence hall. You can ask that they “spread the word” to occupants in their hall, or you can ask that you also come to their individual Hall Council Meetings in their residence hall to announce your event.
4. Flyers can be posted in residence halls and around campus asking for hosts. To have flyers posted in the residence halls, take the printed fliers to the North Area Office (for north side residence halls) and the South Area Office (for south side), as posters will require an approval stamp. Each Area Office will distribute the posters to the residence halls and have posted for you. Posted found in residence halls without this approval stamp, will be removed.
5. Corps Housing may also have students willing to host guests. Flyers should be taken to the Corps Housing Office, located between Spence and Briggs Halls.
6. As you begin to find hosts, ask the hosts to post a flier on their residence hall door. These fliers do not require an approval stamp.  Only the host’s approval.  As friends of the hosts see these fliers, they may contact you and offer their host services, as well.
7. Ask volunteer hosts to ask others on their residence hall to be hosts.
8. Going door-to-door asking for volunteer hosts in the residence hall will require that you have a resident from that hall escorting you at all times, unless you live in that building yourself.
9. Do NOT expect residence hall staff to find hosts for you. Unless they are a member of your organization and offer to do this themselves, that is not their job.
10. There are other private residence hall facilities located off campus, where students live. Those are not a part of Department of Residence Life and may have different rules where residents hosting guests are involved.
