With over 400 organizations on campus, you may wonder how to find the best group for you. MSU is a melting pot of people, ideas and concerns. Other resources are The State News, Resident Assistants, Minority Aides, college student affairs offices, classmates, bulletin boards, and showcases. First of all, remember that most organizations are far more interested about recruiting you than you may be about joining them. They really do want new member and are very eager to answer your questions and explain their activities and purposes.
Most groups have general meetings at the beginning of fall term.
These are open to any interested student. It you miss a general meeting or find out about a group during the year, call a contact person and ask when the next meeting is. If meeting times and programs are posted, you can always assume you're welcome. Of course, some organizations, such as honoraries, fraternities and sororities, have selected memberships, so be sure to find out the particulars in those cases. Once you've joined an organization, don't just sit back and wait for something to happen.
