NRHH (Recognition & OTMs) / PLU Residence Hall Association

NRHH:

The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) is the recognition branch of Nation Association of College University Residence Halls (NACURH). NACURH, as an organization, truely believes that recognition is a must in a strong residence hall community. As such, NRHH is there to make sure that we don't forget to give those needed and more than deserved pats on the back.

The way NRHH works on campus is through a local chapter. NRHH chapters have a very special way of recognizing those top leaders, by membership. The NRHH chapter membership is restricted to 1% of students living in the residence halls. So, once inducted into NRHH one can consider themself a member of the Top 1% of residence hall leaders.
