Balfour to Unveil New Piercings for Fish Camp Counselors
This week, Balfour announced they will now offer prestigious custom piercings to all Fish Camp counselors and crew that made this past summer a success. Gone are the days of relying on the local tattoo and piercing parlors to get the job done, as Balfour has bought out these facilities and is offering their services complimentary with purchase at the Koldus Building. Members of Fish Camp will even be able to engrave their camp history in their piercing if desired.
Just as the esteemed Aggie Ring connects Aggies all around the world, nose rings and eyebrow piercings connect Fish Camp counselors all around the Texas A&M University campus. As the Aggie Ring signifies an Aggie’s undying love for their university and commitment to its values, these piercings reflect the counselor’s undying need for attention and desire to set themselves apart from just any regular Aggie student. “Every time I see someone on campus with a septum or eyebrow piercing, I ask them what camp they were in and then we talk about our mutual friends in Fish Camp,”said first-year counselor Tristan Stewart.
“Now we have some real incentives to improve our recruitment and increase retention! Because our numbers were a little low this year, Director Staff had been thinking of ways to pique the interest of potential counselors for the future of the organization,” said Head Director Jenna Schmidt.
With the introduction of this new tradition, counselors have already considered what they will do to make their Aggie Piercing Day even more special. “I can’t wait to dunk my new Aggie nose ring and eyebrow piercing in the Ice Berry Blue that I brought home from camp this summer! I had been waiting for the right time to drink it, and I think I have finally found the perfect occasion,” said second-year counselor Julia Bowers.
While Balfour has said that there have been requests for them to get into the lip tattoo business as well, they seem to be taking things one step at a time. Regardless of Balfour’s involvement in body modifications, there’s one thing that will never change: the iconic piercings that counselors get last longer than continuity ever does.
— House Boyz II Men
It’s weird to think that a few years ago a baby faced House Boyz II Men was cleaning the house kitchen. He used to pour the wine and light the fire; Girl, your wish was his command. You used to not think much of him, but since he left your sorority’s employ, he’s filled out his oversized blazer and has a real charm about him. It’s hard to admit, but you’re “Sympin’” now. Although you’ve come to the “End of the Road”, still you can’t let go. He has you wishing you could go back to the days your hold on him was strong. How could such a perfect thing go wrong? Can’t somebody tell you how to get things back the way they use to be? He used to do the dishes, now you’re down “On Bended Knee”.
