When will we know the theme and hosts/co-hosts?
This is up to the main host to decide based on when he or she is nominated. It can take up to the end of September to decide depending on how much debate there is over the themes. It's best to be patient, cast your vote, and wait and see the results than to poke or prod.

Can I have gold?
No. If you're not a committee head, then you're not getting any gold. Gold is only distributed to room hosts for the cost of art and graphics and to committee heads for the same purposes and this is almost always close to the ball itself, not months in advance.

Can I be a host/co-host?
Did you apply to be one? You must fill out the application form just like everyone else does so that your qualifications can be gauged. Don't worry - this is not a job that requires a lot of experience but it does require a little. Just let us get to know you a little before we make the decision.

How much gold do we currently have?
That's for the fundraising committee to know and for you to ask him/her (;

If I really don't want to be a host/co-host, do I have to apply anyway if I all want to be taken seriously for other tasks? What if I'm really not all that interested in advertising or fundraising? [i.e. What should first-time people expect?]
No you don't have to apply if you don't want to be a host/co-host. It wont impact you at all. So no worries. First time people? Don't expect a lot to happen in a short amount of time. The whole process take a year. And I get it, you're all excited and eager to start the whole ball process, but we generally start this when most of our people are going back to school, so expect it to be slow to start and to pick up as the year goes on. This is a very well organized machine so everything that is supposed to happen will happen when it is meant too.
