have dates, guys usually pay for girls, but some pairs choose to<br />
split the cost. Girls might pay if they are the ones who ask.<br />
Some students decide to exchange gifts with their dates, with<br />
a typical cost of $10-$15. Wrapped gifts are often exchanged<br />
during escorting. Common gifts are candy, clothing, and stuffed<br />
animals.<br />
Escorting is when dates meet for the banquet. Gentlemen may<br />
be dismissed from the boys’ dorm in groups according to their<br />
grade, seniors first. They walk to the girls’ dorm lobby to have<br />
their date paged. The girls may go to the boys’ dorm to pick<br />
up their dates when it is a “girls ask guys” banquet. For some<br />
occasions, rather than meeting in dorm lobbies, they may meet<br />
at the water fountain on Center Campus.<br />
At <strong>GCA</strong> guys usually ask girls to a banquet with varying degrees<br />
of creativity, which can make the invitation an event in itself.<br />
Girls may do the same when they ask guys.<br />
Village students participate in escorting in the same way as dorm<br />
students – they meet in the dorm lobby and either leave with a<br />
group to pick up their date or stay to be picked up by their date.<br />
*Disclaimer: Many of these tips are offered to make parents aware of common<br />
social practices at <strong>GCA</strong>, but they are not mandatory. Gifts, dates, etc. continue<br />
to be at the discretion of each student and their parents.<br />
