Freshers' Week is a prime opportunity for direct interaction. Plan and execute engaging events and vibrant social gatherings that leave a lasting positive impression.
Plan at least two fun, low-pressure social events during Freshers' Week (e.g., game night, picnic, or a relaxed dinner). Combine socializing with a brief, welcoming intro to your ISoc's vision, an Islamic reminder, and plenty of free food (non-negotiable!).
Be mindful of your principles: consider separate events for brothers and sisters to make socials more comfortable and religiously appropriate for participants.

Plan engaging and low-pressure social events to help new students connect and build friendships within the ISoc.
Host outdoor picnics in a local park or on campus green spaces. This provides a casual setting for students to mingle and enjoy the weather, fostering a sense of community.
Organize fun and interactive games nights. These are excellent for breaking the ice and encouraging new students to socialize in a relaxed environment.
Incorporate fun icebreakers at the start of your social events. These short activities help new students get to know each other and the committee, breaking down initial barriers and encouraging interaction.
Offer a variety of activities like ice skating, football tournaments, or a simple, chill dinner. Providing diverse options ensures there's something for everyone, catering to different interests and comfort levels.
Keep the topic simple and light-hearted, especially for new audiences. Focus on universal values and positive aspects of Islam that resonate with diverse backgrounds. Avoid overly complex or niche subjects initially.
Include interactive elements like menti/quizzes to make your Dawah events engaging and accessible for new students learning about Islam. This encourages participation and makes the learning experience more dynamic and memorable.
