What is
NRHH?
The
National Residence Hall Honorary (from
herein called NRHH) is the branch of
National Association of College and
University Residence Halls, Inc. (from
herein called NACURH) that recognizes
student leadership and services for
those who live in the residence halls.
NACURH, as an organization, truly
believes that recognition is a must for
a strong Residence Hall community.
Our
chapter is called the SU Orange Chapter
of NRHH. NRHH chapters have a very
special way of recognizing those top
leaders, through induction and
membership to the NRHH. The NRHH chapter
membership (per school) is restricted to
1% of students living in the residence
halls of that school. So, once inducted
into NRHH you can consider yourself a
member of the Top 1% of residence hall
leaders.
What does
NRHH do?
Just like
other student organizations, the SU
Orange Chapter of NRHH has traditional
events each semester. Every fall, we
host a brunch during Parent’s Weekend
for all families with students involved
with the Office of Residence Life. In
the Spring, we host Strike Out the
Stress during final exams. We have an
ongoing relationship with The Living
Room, a resource center for people with
HIV/ AIDS and their families in the
Syracuse community. Other events include
inductions, Just Desserts, the End of
Year Awards, a variety of community
service projects, and monthly
recognition programs in addition to OTMs.
Who can be
in NRHH?
Any
student who has lived on campus for a
semester is eligible to apply to NRHH.
We accept students based on their
leadership skills and service to the
on-campus community. NRHH recruits
students each semester, so watch for
information.
What are
our symbols?
Blue and
white are the organizations colors. Blue
symbolizes a loyalty to purpose and idea
and white symbolizes a blank page on
which students can write their successes
and experiences.
The symbol
for NRHH is that of a diamond
surrounding the letters of the
organization, and the three
interconnected lines, the chain of
leadership. The diamond, the world's
most precious gem, signifies the value
and beauty one finds in the residence
halls experience. Together, the unbroken
chain symbolizes the membership of NRHH.
The first
link of the chain represents caring.
Leaders are people who care. They are
concerned about themselves and others,
and are committed to making things
better.
The second
link signifies dedication. Part of a
leader's commitment is the dedication to
cause which they display.
The third
link represents participation. True
leaders participate fully in their
academic pursuits, their friendships,
their activities, and their lives.
What is an
OTM?
An OTM (Of
the Month) is the prime recognition tool
that NRHH uses. They are designed to
recognize people and programs that
positively impact life in the residence
halls each month. Winners are recognized
on the school, regional and national
level.
OTMs can
be submitted online
here.
OTMs are
due by the 1st of each month. Recipients
of an OTM get a certificate of
achievement as well as their photo
posted on the Wall of Fame in the Office
of Residence Life.
