Did you know? At the completion of Spring Training, we hold a special Yellow Polo Ceremony. There, new Orientation Leaders take the OL Oath, sign the official team roster, and receive their yellow polo.
After the ceremony, OL's are photographed in their polo. As an OL, you will have access to your headshot to use on a resume, LinkedIn, or as a digital memory to look back on fondly.

So, what's the difference between an Orientation Leader and a Griffin Guide, anyway? Don't they both help new students?
They sure do! We love our Griffin Guide pals, and we often work together during Summer Orientations. The primary difference is that Griffin Guides are part of the Admissions team. They are a crucial and huge part of bringing new Setonians to campus and building our community. As Orientation Leaders, we work with the students they've inspired to help them continue their success after they've arrived.
You might think of Griffin Guides as folks who provide the keys and open the door, while the Orientation Leaders make sure the house is cozy and comfortable. Both play an important role on campus!
