Dear RLO, 

At Freshman orientation, you announced that your department was unmatched. Skeptical as always, my friends and I looked at each other and laughed. It wasn’t until you did nothing about the black mold in the ceiling of my friends dorm and put two hall counselors together in a single- in Belk no less– that I realized you truly are one of a kind. Your ideas are simply incredible– putting freshmen who drink on sub-free floors so that they can learn the power of sobriety– genius! What could ever go wrong with that? Not to mention your roommate pairings- I may be the only Freshman who actually likes my random roommate and for that, I truly am incredibly grateful. But for everyone else, I mean not matching up sleep schedules, strong political views, or cleanliness habits is a great idea that really teaches students to coexist and creates much more productive environments! I mean what’s better than stepping around your roommate’s mess when you wake up at 5:00 AM when they have only just gone to sleep? I love you with every ounce of water that has leaked from the sink in the Rich bathrooms that have yet to be fixed. You’re so wise, you don’t even have to look at the housing preference forms people submit- you just know what is best. By far one of my favorite parts of your being is how you perfectly prep dorms for move-in. The roaches in Belk and ants in Rich night one were an incredible welcome gift that I will be forever grateful for. One last thing, the broken TV on 3rd Rich really adds a homey touch, and I would be remiss if I didn’t show my appreciation for it. It is so freeing not to have that distraction in my life. I mean I haven’t even been here for three weeks, and I can already tell that RLO at Davidson truly is special. Thank you, RLO. I love you.
