What is Interhall RHA?
RHA is an organization comprised of the students who live in our on-campus
residence halls. The main responsibilities of RHA include planning events, activities
and educational programs, voicing student opinions and keeping supplies at each
hall front desk. There are three levels of RHA on campus:
- The most encompassing is the Interhall RHA. The Interhall senate
is composed of three members from each hall's RHA executive team
as well as the Exec board outlined on the IRHA Leadership page.
The senate meets weekly on Wednesdays to consider fund requests,
to pass information from hall to hall regarding campus events and
finally for the weekly spirit contest.
- The next level of RHA is the Hall RHA. Hall RHA consists of
the executive board from each hall and any members of the hall
that want to participate. Most halls meet weekly and have some
sort of fun activity associated with hall meetings. Such examples
are tug o' war, name-that-tune, limbo, chocolate syrup twister,
and other inter-floor contests.
- The final level of RHA on campus is the floor RHA. Floor RHA
is similarly set up to the hall RHA. Because it involves students
from individual floors it is usually a close-knit group.
MSU Interhall RHA also has several important affiliations:
- IACURH (Intermountain Affiliate of College and University Residence
Halls), includes RHA's from the Northwest Territories, Alberta
and Saskatchewan down to New Mexico and Arizona.
- NACURH (National Association of College and University Residence
Halls) includes RHA's nationwide as well as a few in Canada and
Mexico. MSU is a member of both organizations.
For the 2000-2001 school year, MSU was awarded School of the Year at the 2001
NACURH Conference in Hollywood, CA. Also, for the 2001-2002 school year, our
NRHH Chapter (National Residence Hall Association) was awared NRHH Chapter of
the Year. Both are significant of the incredible amount of time and energy put
in by the students and staff of MSU.
