<p>I did that for Hedrick Summit last year. We did next to nothing. You have to do a couple of shifts as a welcoming committee, meaning we cheered people on as they moved in. That was seriously about all we did. I wanted to do it because I got to move in a few days early when there were fewer people. It isn’t really worth the effort. Two of my other roommates were also assistants so it was nice to hang out with them, but the actual assistant work wasn’t very engaging or rewarding.</p>
