C^ iving tours and making new
^^ students feel at "home" was
the basic premise behind the UH Orientation Team, more commonly referred to as O-Team.
During each semester, O-Team took applications from students regardless of
their major. Soon after the applications
were reviewed, the
candidates for O-
Team were called for
an interview. The selection process tried to narrow
down to UH's finest students.
O-Team worked during the summer to get freshmen and transfer students informed and excited about being a new cougar at the university.
After the group was selected, they
partcipated in an intense 7 day training program. Lily Pleitez said, "We
are like one big family. We shared a
beach house together and then spent
nearly the entire summer together."
The selection
process tried to
narrow it down to
UH's finest
students.

Pleitez explained O-Team's philosophy of working as a close family.
She said, "Developing a good relationship within the group will result
in a more pleasant atmosphere for
the people we give
tours to." Hence, the
organization participated in many events
that help bring them
closer to one another.
Pleitez said, "We
did many things together this year like
go to Astroworld, attend an Astros game, going to the
zoo, and midnight trips to the International House of Pancakes." Another O-Tean veteran, Andrea Hy-
land, said, "It's been one of the best
experiences of my life."
Nick Brines said, " I think we can
be best described as complementing
each other. We have the silent ones,
and we have the wild ones."
