Centenary’s Resident Assistants Hold Events on Campus
November 11, 2026
Resident Assistant events are held at least once a week and are hosted by various RAs and in various residence halls.
There are two different types of RA programs, active and passive events. Most students only think of active events, which are the programs where RA will set up different types of fun activities for students to participate in. Passive events are things like the corkboard displays that are spread throughout the halls. They tend to relate to first-year advice or information about the different aspects of TREK. Passive events can also be door-decs for all of an RA's residents or informational posters in the bathrooms throughout campus.
Students gather in Rotary Hall for RA Alex Hamilton’s Centenary trivia event.
Centenary Involvement at the Red River Revel

Beginning in 1973, the Red River Revel has brought art, food, music and celebration to Shreveport. This year, the Revel took place Oct. 8–11 and Oct. 15–18, featuring many artists and musicians. There are many different people and organizations involved in the festival, but how exactly is Centenary involved?
Zeta Tau Alpha, one of Centenary’s two sororities, has been involved at the Revel since the very beginning.
“We’ve been here all fifty years. We were the first and only group still here today” explained 1966 Centenary graduate Aubrey Bray.
“We started this when I was thirty two and now I am eighty two. We used little butane skillets and that’s how we made the food.”
At the time, there were only three booths at the Revel, including Zeta. They also attend to support their philanthropy of breast cancer awareness. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this is a big part of what they support and stand for.
