Delegates You’ll Meet On The THIMUN Dance Floor

Delegates you'll meet on the dancefloor

By Sikkharin and Michael


Although it may come as a surprise to some, even the Model UN community hosts its own cast of dance-floor stereotypes,

which we carefully observed and documented during the annual THIMUN Singapore Banquet last night.

Whether it’s in the dance hall or the committee room, we MUN-ers know how to get down.

The Party Animal

“Straight to the dance-floor. You heard me.”

Yes, even some of the most erudite or nerdy MUN participants can succumb to the DJ’s cocktail of tunes and hit the dance floor.

So when the lights dim at the THIMUN banquet,

and you spot hordes of delegates swarming the dance-floor, feel free join in!

The Foodie

“Dude, there’s NAAN!”

We’ve all seen this one. That person that only shows up to the dance not to socialise or, you know, actually dance, but shows up purely for the food…and lots of it. We MUN-ers know that resolutions and amendments are important, but more than that is free food. The Foodie will always have a plate on their table or a drink in their hand. It’s no surprise that their next speech will probably contain a food analogy.

The Loner

*furiously types away on an iPhone* “This is for my blog!”

You may have spotted this one in their natural habitat. Or haven’t, because of the whole loner deal. The Loner is that one person who, instead of heading to the dance floor with his friends to rave to the most popular club songs in pop culture, sits in the back texting their significant other, or watching cat videos on the internet. They might also be deciding how to incorporate their 7 Steps to World Domination into their resolution. We’ll never know.

The No-Show

“…”

And while there are plenty of incentives to attend the THIMUN dance, whether it be the actual dancing or the delicious food, there are still some who opt to skip the dance in favor of schoolwork (lame), sleep (even lamer), or taking care of their elderly relatives (la… – oh, that’s actually a pretty legitimate excuse). Regardless, feel free to badger this person the day after the dance in futile attempts to make them jealous.  

So whether you’re a delegate, a chair, an admin, or even a press member, don’t be discouraged by the stereotypes. While it can be fun to categorize, don’t forget to respect another person’s way to revel: we all have our own style of partying, and that’s something worth celebrating.
