Monarch Beach Bash and Rec Fest

During the first week of school, Old Dominion University had many events to help new students learn about organizations and Greek life on campus. The Monarch Beach Bash on Aug. 30 allowed students to meet with fraternities and sororities. Then on Aug. 31, the SRC had its Rec Fest, which showcased the classes, intramural sports and clubs that they offer. Photos by Nicholas Clark/ODU
