Traditions

CSH isn’t just about working on projects. Our members love to engage in a variety of social activities. Many of these activities have persisted through the years to become traditions.

CSHers hanging out at Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back is a barbecue held at the beginning of each year to welcome the incoming freshman class. Traditionally, alumni come from far and wide to visit current floor members. We cook way too much food, tell stories, and participate in a variety of outdoor activities.

Camping

Every year, CSH goes out on an adventure to see if we can survive for a weekend in the wild. Surprisingly, a bunch of computer nerds can thrive without electricity for a few days.

Holiday Dinner

Holiday Dinner is our annual formal dinner that takes place right before Winter Break. All of CSH gets dressed up and has dinner at a classy restaurant. This is immediately followed by another traditional event, Secret Santa.

Seminars

Any member can hold a seminar to teach others a bit about a topic of their choosing. Subjects can range from programming to juggling and everything in between, and anyone can give one at any time.

Intramural Sports

We participate in most of the intramural sports RIT offers, including broomball, hockey, soccer, basketball, softball, dodgeball, and volleyball. While we aren’t always the best team out there, we’re always the best-looking (with our CSH jerseys) and have the most fans cheering us on! We’ve even won quite an impressive number of trophies in the past, which are proudly displayed in our library.
