This is our special name for the first years of Vividus.
As these new beautiful ladies are welcomed into the house, they are given an opportunity to partake in the Welcoming week program, which includes not only the academic orientation from the University's side, but also an opportunity to take part in other activities, such as socials, 1nSync, mass dates, lunch hour concerts and so forth.
1nSync
This is a dance competition between the first years in each residence. It encompasses the learning of dance moves and routines that are then performed in a 6-9 minute show; put together by the External Culture EC and her committee and then taught to the first years during Welcoming week (or W-week). The Ienkmelodienk performance is then held at the end of the week in front of a large audience of TUKS students and a panel of judges.
Mass Dates A.K.A 'Slepe'
This is where the ladies have an opportunity to meet other first years from the men's residences. This takes place in Welcoming Week. The men and ladies walk together from the Universteitsoord parking lot to the Aula grass on campus to as they get to know each other.
On the House Committee, the First year Guardian looks out for the Phoenixes and is there to help them, should they need anything or have any questions.

These are our beautiful Semis (Sparx) and Seniors (Flame) in the House.
They are the ladies that participate in house events throughout the year and will also look out for our Phoenixes through our Internal Affairs portfolio, also known as "Rise from the Ashes" (Please read more under Portfolios)
The Members Affairs EC is the "Semi & Senior Officer" of the house and plays the same role as the First year Guardian for her Phoenixes.
