It’s what we have all been waiting for. Nudity, music and good-natured debauchery – Serendipity.

“(Serendipity is) a traditional weekend celebration for students,” said JaNell Henry, Campus Activities Board (CAB) member and coordinator of novelty acts.

This weekend’s celebration presents a million opportunities to get out of dungeon-like dorm rooms into the sunshine and to be energetic.

Last year offered numerous lively activities including a mechanical bull ride, an ultimate gladiator challenge, and everyone’s favorite childhood game, dodgeball. This year promises just as many lively events.

Starting at 4 p.m. on Friday you will be able to gorge on all things saccharin, like cotton candy and snow cones.

Following sugary confection consumption, burn off the calories and sugar high by playing carnival games on Founders lawn until 7 p.m.

“Usually, Friday is all about novelty acts. We do try to do a lot of hands-on events for students,” said Henry.

All that running about and trying to win the carnival games might inspire you to take part in some good relaxation. Take a seat outside of Founders and prepare for a soothing massage.

“Hopefully all the lacrosse girls will be able to hit that up,” said Alyzza Callahan, goalie for the women’s lacrosse team.

At 9 p.m., make your way to the lake for a triumvirate of amazing bands. Steep Canyon Rangers begin the series, followed by Han Shot First and S. Burns. Feel free to hone your hippie dancing skills with some mad arm movements and freeform footwork.

“Live music is always promising . and combine that with being outside by the lake; I’m psyched,” said first-year Marissa Arbitblit.

Given you are not too hung-over from notorious Serendipity drinking, Saturday afternoon is jam-packed with sporting events.

At 1 p.m., our Quaker baseball team begins its first game in a double-header against Hampden-Sydney. Don some sunglasses and come cheer our Guilford team on to victory.

2 p.m. finds the women’s softball team starting their first inning against Sweet Briar.

With the latest game of the day, the women’s lacrosse team will be playing Randolph-Macon at Armfield Stadium at 3 p.m.

“We’re just going to play our hardest, and everyone should go,” said Callahan.

All of the games on Saturday will be ODAC games.

Also on Saturday afternoon, the women’s rugby team will be playing UNCG with a unique twist.

“We’re playing in prom dresses. No one is allowed on the field that isn’t wearing a dress,” said first-year rugby player, Ada Stephens.

So if taffeta, ruffles and hard-hitting women are your thing, come out to the rugby field and bring your cameras.

“The pictures are going to be amazing,” said Stephens.

The entire experience should be spectacular, and with highs expected in the 70s, there should be no excuse not to get off the couch into the sunshine and enjoy the sports of Serendipity.
