Five Chairs (Preses<\/em>, or President<\/em> at RSC\/RSVV) and five alumni explain what makes their association unique and tell about their experiences of other clubs. Today it\u2019s the turn of Laurentius, an association with its own \u2018identity\u2019 and ‘a tradition of having the prettiest girls’ as members.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know myself, which is why I only decided to become a member in my second year, so that I could pass the first year in one go\u201d, stated Laurentius Preses Tristan Gayral. \u201cBut afterwards, I think it wouldn\u2019t have made that much difference.\u201d He had tried the atmosphere at RSC the previous year but continued to party at Laurentius during his second Eurekaweek in 2016. \u201cI felt this was the place for me. Now, I\u2019m here as Preses; strange how things can go.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, the Laurentius values are threefold: \u201cThe association is your home, everyone has equal opportunities, and you are given the chance to develop yourself. It\u2019s also a place to let off steam and make friendships for life. Not only for socialising, but also to achieve your objectives, such as your study. You help each other through it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
