Introducing: TWEET WEEK!

Posted on by

Hey everyone, 

FYSOP staff are arriving at BU in less than a month, and to celebrate we’ve decided to have a little friendly competition: FYSOP Tweet Week! All you have to do is tweet anything about FYSOP–how excited you are, how cool your coordinators are, how you can’t wait for the bagged lunches–with the hashtag #fysop, and you’ll be entered into a competition to win a free CSC t-shirt. At the end of the week, we’ll pick our favorite #fysop tweet and announce the winner.

Happy tweeting!
