Defense of The Green Thrones Snocial

“Honestly, these are the creations from a group of friends who wanted to spend more time with each other. That's the best tradition UCI and Circle K has got to offer. We come in not knowing each other but all have the same mentality that we either want to do service or meet new people. Eventually it grows to all loving service while spending time with friends. We eat together, sleep/study together, and basically create ‘traditions’ just to spend more time with each other.” Jimmy Hung UCI Circle K President 2 years ago

Conclusion Become active and make your own traditions within Circle K! Thanks for coming :D
