Starting a Club

Steps for starting a new club

1. Explore the clubs already in existence at 51¶ÌÊÓƵ before starting a club. If a student finds that we do not have a club which is of interest to them they can choose to start their own club. However, the club must be different than any club already on campus.
2. Gain interest and members from the student body by hosting an event. A minimum of ten (10) members is required for any new club. Clubs desiring Bi-Co or Tri-Co status require at least five members from each College. 
3. Once you have ten (10) members you can petition the Office of Residential Life and Student Engagement to start a new club. Petitions are accepted during the first two weeks of each semester and the petition form will be available via our student engagement platform Engage -
4. A constitution is required and will be forwarded to SGA for final approval. Please review the Constitution Guide for a template. Constitution Guide (PDF). 
5. All returning clubs are required to register each academic year with the Office of Residential Life and Student Engagement at the beginning of the fall semester.
