SCF meets each Monday at noon for lunch and presentations. Each campus has a Student Government Association that is comprised of elected representatives of the student body and serves through executive and advisory function, as the voice of the students. The SGA plans wholesome recreational and social activities, encourages student discussion of campus concerns, presents recommendations to the faculty and administration, and acts in an advisory capacity to the students of each of the campuses. Athletics are often a focal point for comparison with other institutions and should promote togetherness within the student body. At East Mississippi Community College, football, basketball, baseball, golf, and softball teams participate on an intercollegiate basis.
Limited scholarships are available.

It contains essays, one-act plays, short stories and poems submitted by the students at East Mississippi Community College. Syzygy is sponsored by the English Department and is published annually. Its purpose is to stimulate the creation and appreciation of quality literature.
