A way to meet people . Within the organization you will meet a diverse group of people who share a common interest that brings them together, people who will offer not only valuable information about campus life but friendship. Sports clubs and other competitive or honorary societies can take you off campus to events or national meetings where you'll get to know like-minded students from other schools. Test the waters and gain experience .
College is the perfect time to try something new.
If you have always wanted to try sky-diving or ceramics, now's your chance. Perhaps you've always wanted to act, but in high school you were afraid to try. College life encourages you to experiment and explore, so audition for that play. Even if you realize you're no Denzel Washington or Bridget Fonda, you might discover you are hidden talent for stage-managing. You'll never know if something you've always wanted to do is fun until you take that first step.
