hi,
If 新鮮人 refers to 'freshmen', then they would be '老鸟' senior who is providing introduction and orientation to the new environment. I think freshmen orientation is commomly used but it seems to lack the social function and a more positive aspect of a 聯誼活動. Cause my understanding of orientation involved the freshmen coping with the 老鸟's tortures.
