In order to run, you must submit a proposal in this form. The deadline for treasurer and media coordinator have been extended to tonight at 11:59.

Spring Barn Dance

Join SECS, GLC, Illini Democrats, and other progressive and sustainable RSOs for our Spring 2025 Progressive Barn Dance on Tuesday, March 24, 2025! Fill out this RSVP form to buy your ticket. The ticket price is $20 (non-negotiable), and includes barn admission, transportation, and drinks. This is payable on Venmo to @Kacper-Pancerz.

We have a few rules that we must follow on the bus to ensure this event goes smoothly. First, there are absolutely no drinks allowed on the bus. Furthermore, if you throw up on the bus, you will be responsible for paying a $300 fee. You are required to arrive and leave the barn on the bus you purchase a ticket for, if you attempt to take a different bus home, you risk having no way back to campus. Additionally, no Ubers or Lyfts are allowed to or from the barn, so ensure you are on time to your bus pick-up times. Please be respectful and enjoy your night responsibly!

If you have any questions or are doing a bulk purchase for a RSO, please reach out to [email protected].
