At GCFS, we take Freshers Week very seriously - at least, as serious as Freshers can be. Read about our scouting, socials and memories of the week just past!
Friday - 12th September 2025
The Friday before Freshers, the charity team organised a highly successful fundraiser for Young Lives vs. Cancer at Glasgow Central, where they raised approximately £300! Let’s keep the buckets flowing this year :)
Monday - 15th September 2025
Our focus today was on flyering and model scouting around the West End and the City Centre. Although faced with some inevitable rejection, we met so may lovely people who were keen to learn more about our society and ways to get involved. At the end of the day, our Young Lives vs. Cancer tote bag of flyers was empty!
Tuesday - 16th September 2025
The most eventful day of our Freshers, we continued flyering and model scouting but also set up our Glasgow University stall in the Hunter Halls. We definitely got the quiet room, but that didn’t stop us from having the best stall on campus! We decked out the stall with Essence posters and flyers, as well as having membership cards available for our lovely members.
Later in the afternoon, we headed to Partick for the Revival x GCFS event, a wonderful sober social where the team and society members had the chance to chat and enjoy the perks of 20% off coffee! Plus, can we appreciate these stunning takeaway cups?
Revival is a new cafe in the West End and is kindly sponsoring us this year.
Finally, we ended the day with our highly anticipated GEMS x GCFS club night at The Berkely Suite! This of course was accompanied by pres hosted by our lovely welfare convenor Riya, whose flat was the perfect place to start the night. We had an amazing set of DJs playing, including DRUMA, NIHASA b2b Ocean, McCart and Orla Halligan, carrying our dancing for the night. Our events team did an amazing job at setting up the venue and the executive team looked fab in their GCFS t-shirts!
Wednesday - 17th September 2025
Despite the fun we had the night before, our work resumed on Wednesday. This day we were both at GU and GSA, on the look out for graphic designers to join the team. The rain didn’t stop us from having a blast at the Freshers Fair!
Friday - 19th September 2025
We couldn’t resist one more social, so we ended the week with a pub crawl at Inn Deep and Banana Moon, two of our wonderful sponsors this year. This was followed by the Bare Max x Stereo Freshers Friday club night, where we enjoyed one final boogie.
Thank you to everyone who made this years Freshers Week so special, including our team, charity partners, sponsors, and of course, our society members! We are beyond excited for the year ahead :)
Talk soon,
