‘PR for Jesus:’ Across the spectrum of Rice’s Christian student organizations
For those who frequent Rice public parties, there is no sight more beloved at the end of the night than a tent and a whiteboard. Underneath this tent, the intoxicated can indulge in fresh pancakes from the Baptist Student Ministry and attempt to consider the faith-related question on the nearby whiteboard, often encouraging students to vote with a tally mark. Also available — a fleet of golf carts and sober drivers to chauffeur the more inebriated students safely home.
