Is it too late to join a club (college)

It’s not weird at all—just find a club that you think you’d enjoy being in and join up. They’ll appreciate the membership. When I was a college student, membership numbers were vital to attaining funding from the school for our organizations. The number on your mailing list as well as the number of students who actually attended events and meetings.

Find a club you like, sign up, go. No one will think strangely of it at all.

Not at all. People join clubs all the time in order to meet new people. Go ahead, do it and have fun!

And – welcome to Fluther but be careful; this is a seriously addictive club!

@janbb lol I’m sure it will.

Why is it that Frats do not want people to rush as a juinor then? I was talking with some buddies of mine who are in frats (in other schools) and they said do not rush as a juinor.

I’ve never been a big proponnent of frats or sororities so I can’t tell you what their issues with it might be.

One of the big problems would be that you rush by class. So your class goes through hazing and rush together and it actually bonds them into better friends than they would be otherwise. The hazing process gives them a shitty experience that they all went through together—a shared context. By rushing out of class, you go through that experience with a group not composed of your peers. It puts you out of place and makes it less likely that you’ll bond with your brothers and less likely to give back to the frat or be active in it in the long run.

It’s a great idea to join one or more clubs. You will meet new people and get involved in activities. Go for it!

they will still take your money!

Any social group where you meet other people is a good thing!

You could try something out of school, such as volunteer for Red Cross, Blood Bank or Animal Shelter, or even do some volunteer work with in the school system, I’m sure they have a list of places that could use volunteers.

@YARNLADY

I’m not really the “volunteering type.” I’m not a dick or anything, but some just don’t do it. My volunteering is on the level of helping people out in need such as a friend on his car or buying the local bum a sandwich, just trying to help in everyday situations… Not the church type either

I was going to join the schools NORML chapter (highly believe in the cause), tuners club (love cars), possibly Habitat (I don’t mind building + the parties are sick lol)

Not at all! I’m a senior and I joined a bunch of new clubs this year! Clubs are the best part of college.

What’s SGA?

Student Govt. Association

I joined a sorority my junior year, and it was a little weird because my pledge class was all freshmen, just out of high school. Unless you already have a lot of friends who belong to one particular greek organization, I would not recommend pledging an organization where you don’t know anyone.

On the other hand, there are a lot or clubs associated with majors, classical studies, honor societies, politics, travel, languages, etc. There’s also the newspaper, literary magazines, etc. and arts oriented clubs, not to mention things like the Baptist Student Union, the Newman Center, etc. if you’re religiously inclined.

Find something you like, and make it your own.

if you can find a club you are interested, then you should definitely do it! (there is usually something for everyone).

and even if you don’t find something you like on campus, you could always try something not affiliated with the school, like a cooking class, dance class, video game competitions (i don’t know what you are into so im just throwing those out there).

also, as far as meeting people, maybe try a part time job just at a restaurant or something. that is a good place to meet young people (high school and college age)
