Pepero Grams for Pepero Day

November 4, 2012 at 10:29 pm

Facebook Cover Photo

 


Wanna show your friends how much you love them? Haven't had the guts to tell that cutie how much you adore him/her? Wanna thank your big but don't know how to? Pepero Day is the perfect opportunity for you to finally do all of these things and more!

 

buKSA is going to be selling Pepero grams for only $3.

 

A gram consists of Pepero sticks (not a full box) in an adorable package plus a personalized message! The best part is, we're going to deliver to anyone living ON CAMPUS.

 

♦♦ WHAT IS PEPERO DAY? ♦♦

빼빼로 (Pepero) is a long thin cookie, dipped in chocolate. Pepero Day is somewhat similar to Valentine’s Day and is held on 11th of November, since the date “11/11” looks similar to four sticks of Pepero. To celebrate Pepero Day, people exchange Pepero sticks with their friends and family.

 

♦♦ HOW DO I ORDER? ♦♦

  1. Figure out where you want the Pepero Sticks to be delivered (only on campus deliveries)
  2. Fill out this form for each gram you want to send:https://docs.google.com/ spreadsheet/ viewform?formkey=dEdlLXFBTW NsdnAycld6NU50dXBwSXc6MQ
  3. Then confirm your order by going to the GSU Link on Wednesday (7th) or Friday (9th), anytime from 11am-5pm to pay for your order. You can also put in orders at this time--we'll have our laptops there.
  4. The deliveries will go out Sunday evening (11/11)

 

♦ IF YOU DO NOT PAY FOR YOUR ORDER BY FRIDAY, 5PM... YOUR ORDER WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CANCELLED ♦

 

♦ I DON'T KNOW THE DELIVERY ADDRESS ♦

We ask that you figure out yourself where you want the gram to be delivered to. Ask a mutual friend or do some creeping, it shouldn't be too hard. Worst case scenario, have the gram delivered to yourself and then you can personally deliver them later.

 

♦ I WANT TO SEND MY GRAM OFF CAMPUS ♦

Unfortunately, we are not delivering grams to off-campus apartments. You can have the grams delivered to yourself and then you can personally deliver them wherever your heart desires.

Culture Show 2012 Videos

October 23, 2012 at 10:27 pm

We sincerely apologize, but unfortunately because some of our video files got corrupted somehow we won't be able to upload videos from every single performance (including the skits). We tried our best to upload what we could so we hope you enjoy the videos below.

 

If you have any footage of the culture show that we are missing, we would gladly take your submissions and upload them to the official buKSA Youtube page. Please email us at: bostonu.ksa@gmail.com.

 

Last year's culture show's theme was: Wedding Clashers. The culture show told the pre-wedding story of Kelly (a Korean-American girl) and Andrew (a traditional Korean guy) as they explored each other's cultures through singing, dancing, etc. In between skits, performances were interwoven into the stories to tell the story in a different, interesting way. The finale, the fashion show, was a wedding ceremony of all of the guests.
