RHA question

Hi, I'm a freshman at the Rosehill campus. I'm considering applying to RHA. Can anyone explain to me the actual work that candidates have to do? Also, does joining RHA benefit me if I want to apply to be an RA in the future?

What is Rosehill campus? Rose-Hulman only has one campus. Are you at Fordham?

RHA (Residence Hall Association) and RAs (Resident Assistants) are two different things. RHA is a club on-campus that encompasses all of the residence halls, running various events and giveaways. RAs support individual floors or halls. You don't need to be in RHA to be an RA.

At least when I was there the RHA board did tend to be mostly RAs so it may just help as a networking opportunity but it is not mandatory at all. I loved RHA personally, and served 3 different board positions. it was a great way to help a lot of people/floors of on campus
