What an RGS Citizen Needs to Know...
lf Rhododendron Girls State were in the dictionary it would probably say something like this:
an opportunity for young women to experience a week of training in Americanism, citizenship, leadership and for God and Country. Selected participants are leaders in their schools and community. Girls State gives them an opportunity to show that leadership through total participation in the week’s activities and events.
After the RGS application, the medical form and the registration fees are received by the Auxiliary Secretary/Treasurer, she will forward the applications on to the Girls State Registrar. The Registrar will mail each participant an informational packet. The information will include when and where they are to report. They will be told what they need to bring such as clothes, linens, etc.; as well as what their dormitory and political party assignments will be. Frequently asked questions and answers are included as well as a campus map. Other forms received such as a medical form, parents consent form and the GS pledge should be fully completed
and notarized if indicated. The student is to bring those forms with them for registration.
