WELCOME TO PRELUDES
FRESHMAN HONORARY
Service and Spirit


ABOUT US
"PRELUDES Freshman Honorary is an honorable organization composed of twenty-five outstanding freshmen at the University of Arizona. The objective of PRELUDES Freshman Honorary is to provide a positive, productive, and supportive environment for the University of Arizona and greater Tucson community through philanthropy, service, and social events."
- Founder, Brendan Duffy, 2018
​
An Honorary is a philanthropic organization exclusive to the University of Arizona - that's right, we're the first, best, and only university in the whole country that has this kind of club on its campus! The purpose of an Honorary, and especially PRELUDES, is to connect a group of freshman together through volunteering and social events. College can feel intimidating, but here at PRELUDES Freshman Honorary we want to give freshman the opportunity to make the University of Arizona feel small in the best way possible.
​
Pretty much, we're a bunch o' Predudes who love having a good time.
​
And the best part? This could be you!
​
GET TO KNOW YOUR POTENTIAL NEW PARENTS!
This year's PRELUDES Freshman Honorary Selection Chairs, or as we like to call it, the Mom and Dad of PRELUDES, are Eric Meyer and Abby Albright!

ERIC MEYER
PRELUDES Dad
Give a big WILDCAT WELCOME to your potential PRELUDES Dad, Eric! Eric is a current sophomore at the University of Arizona studying Systems Engineering! He is a member of the SMORES Sophomore Honorary, an avid traveler, and sports legend. Not to mention he was one of two incredible Social Chairs in PRELUDES during his Freshman year! Eric is (S)MORE than excited to be your future Dad, and can't wait to teach the new Freshmen all he's learned and make some incredible new memories. The transition from high school to college can be pretty intimidating, but that's one of the many reasons PRELUDES exists! "I went into my freshman year knowing no one, and came out of it with some best friends!" What more could you ask for in a club?
ABBY ALBRIGHT
PRELUDES Mom
Now introducing... your potential PRELUDES Mom! Abby is a current sophomore at the University of Arizona studying Molecular and Cellular Biology. She is in SMORES and was a former Predude herself, filling the amazing position of Spirit Chair! Abby is absolutely over the moon about PRELUDES this year, and can hardly wait to introduce 25 new freshman into the honorary system. Coming from out of state, Abby didn't quite know where to start at the University of Arizona. "I had no idea what I was doing when I arrived for my first semester," she says. "I wasn't sure where or how to get involved, but PRELUDES completely set the course of my freshman year, and very likely the rest of my time here at Arizona. I am walking away from my Freshman year with too many precious memories to count, and it's all thanks to PRELUDES. I could not be more thankful about the positive impact we've made on each other's lives and on campus." And to all the freshmen out there, Abby wants you to know, "If you're thinking about applying to PRELUDES, DO IT!!! I cannot wait to meet you!"
