Student Organizations
We have three types of student organizations: Open, Departmental/National Affiliated, and Greek Life. Students can join Open organizations at any time. Departmental/National Affiliated organizations are typically honors societies or associated with a specific major. Greek Life has a formal membership and recruitment process.
If you do not find an organization that interests you, you can start a new organization! Email studentactivities@gregorybgallagher.com to learn more about the process. All you need is 10 friends who want to join, and we will help you with the rest!
