Semesters was filled with students eating, singing and cheering along during the “Bar Crawl” hosted by Central Connecticut’s Inter Residence Council.

The event on Thursday at Devil’s Den at 10 p.m. offered karaoke, food bars and promotional items such as a laminated name tag where each letter of your name was printed using a different art design. The IRC event was specifically given a later scheduled time, as it is when most students are available to attend. Prizes were chosen as an incentive for students to sing.

“We just wanted to have a nice event to bring the campus together and also have a chance to do karaoke and win prizes for going up, because I know it can be intimidating,” IRC President Morgan McGinnis said.

The Bar Crawl was catered by Sodexo Food Services. Some of the treats provided included fruit and vegetable platters, mozzarella sticks, spring rolls, cheese and crackers, chicken wings and an ice cream bar.

Despite the many options available, some students felt they were left snack-less due to the large turnout.

“I came here for the food and there are [a lot of] people here and there wasn’t enough food for me,” CCSU student Jack St. Clair said.

Although students may have come for the food, many stayed for the karaoke as well. Performances came in a wide variety of music, including songs from Queen, Kanye West, Carrie Underwood and others. Freshmen Ariana Maggio had the entire room singing along to her rendering of Beyonce’s hit song “Irreplaceable.”

“I actually didn’t know what to pick, I had the people around me that I didn’t know actually pick the song for me,” Maggio states.

“I was really excited about all the applause I got. It made me feel very welcomed,” she continued.

Devils Den hosts a different event every Thursday night at 10 p.m. in Semesters in the Student Center, next week’s event being Salchata Night.
