HOW DO I GET INFORMATION?
The
Student Activities office has lists of contact people and
purposes for many student organizations. Other sources of,
information include:
Campus Offices:
- Associated Student Government U100C, ext. 6208
- Interclub Council Office, U121G
Publications:
- El Don
- Campus Dispatch
- Student Handbook
SO HOW DO I TAKE THE PLUNGE?
First of all, remember that most organizations are far more
nervous about recruiting you, than you may be about joining
them. They really do want 'new members and are very eager to
answer your questions and explain their activities and
purposes.
Most
groups have "Mass Meetings" at the beginning of each
semester. These are open to any interested student. You're
under no obligation to join the group if you attend, it's
simply a chance to get more information and for the group to
seam of your interest. If you miss a mass meeting or find
out about a group during the year, call a contact person and
ask when the next meeting is going to be held. (If meeting
times and programs are posted, you can always assume you're
welcome.) Club Rush is held in September; check with the
Student Activities Office for the date.
How Do You Find the Right Group for You
Once
you've joined an organization, don't just sit back and wait
for something to happen. Introduce yourself to people, ask
questions, express ideas, and be sure to volunteer your time
and energy. You won't feel like a real member of a group
until you're a contributing member.
